Deck~Out~and~About: Tales from the Riverbank

26.08.2016

Two models from behind on a wooded riverbank, one in a Patagonia P6 Logo T-Shirt and hip pack, looking out over still water

Last week we took loads of Patagonia garb down to the river for a bit of the ol’ fly fishing.

The sun was shining, the water was flowing and the trout were leaping majestically from the river like little aquatic Les Ferdinands. It was, as you can imagine, a beautiful scene.

No one actually caught anything, but there was a Co-Op nearby, so we didn’t go hungry.

Thanks to the folks at Patagonia, Peter from Farlows and the guys at Save the Conwy for all their help.

And before anyone says anything—we know we’ve done fishing-based photo-shoots before, but this one is fly fishing so it’s loads different.
