La Cuesta De La Borracha
Situated in La Mancha, Spain and is regarded by many as the best partridge shoot for consistently showing high testing partridges over a wide range of countryside from open plains to mountains.
The key ingredient for its success is the strength, age and health of the birds, due to the sound husbandry and Spanish sunshine.
The season runs from the 1st October to the 6th March. October and early November is perhaps the perfect time to shoot as there is a natural lull between the end of the grouse season and the start of the pheasant season.

The River Alta in Norway
One of the world’s best salmon rivers. It is internationally known for both the size of the salmon and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Along with over 400 other Norwegian rivers, the numbers of salmon running these rivers is a very significant part of the worldwide stock of Atlantic salmon.
Norwegian salmon fishing is a fantastic experience. Being so far north, fishing days can be long with almost 24 hours of daylight in midsummer. It has a well deserved reputation as a BIG fish country and every year lucky anglers beat their personal record by catching fish of 30lb’s plus with some real monsters hooked and lost..!

The East Ranga in Iceland
One of the most productive Atlantic salmon rivers in the world. With an average annual catch of over 4,000 salmon the river is quite extraordinary, even by high Icelandic standards.
It is often referred to as being the ‘perfect size’ – large enough to be interesting and inspiring, but small enough to cover most holding spots well with a 12-14ft double handed rod or indeed a switch or single handed rod in many cases.
While the East Ranga is famous for its productivity, an interesting note is the steady growth in numbers of multi sea winter salmon. These fish have an average weight of 14lbs and offer terrific sport throughout the season.

Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia
One of the world’s true wildernesses and famed for its taimen fishing.
Taimen are the world’s largest species of salmon and are ferocious predators. If you enjoy the challenge of interacting with extremely big fish in beautiful places, there’s absolutely nothing more fascinating than fly-fishing for taimen on the Eg River and the Ur River in north-central Mongolia. Both rivers are a fly fisherman’s dream. They are clear and easy to wade – even the banks are easy walking – and range in size from 40 to 120 feet wide.
