A View from the Chair.. (The Ultimate Urban Fisher Accessory)

25 May, 201225 May, 2012 by Alistair

Oh the Kelvin fishers, I just love them. What makes this whole scene a lot more comedic is when you realise the bench is in fact in the middle of a weir… It takes the whole “Fuck You”approach to the step between casts rule – this area is actually quite heavily fished, I can only think that…
