Alistair could you forward my email address on to Alan? The deer hair they have is very fine in diamater and a nice blonde colour - it's the 'coastal deer hair' - you know the stuff!! I also got a whiting silver grade quarter saddle for around ten quid. Maybe I will open up a store when I get back!! The most exciting purchase though was my new waterproof camera - it's an Olympus Stylus 790SW, 7.1 megapixels of pure, shameless fish porn!! It's tiny as well so perfect for taking snaps of all those huge fish that await us... speak soon Alex Yo dudes

Alan, will do.

Alan if you could do the same that would be sage. I've made myself well acquainted with the Orvis shop. Unfortunately their selection is pretty limited, but their prices are very good indeed. I'll tell you over the phone what they have etc. (I can get you the best deer hair you've ever seen for a couple of quid!) Alan - there's a complete dearth of outlets that sell spinning gear, however I may be paying one a visit soon on the outskirts of town so again will discuss on the blower. speak soon Alex Hey dudes

If you have time, find out the cost of rapalas for me, i've heard that they are much cheaper over there. Yes luck played a massive part in the day's success, as it usually does when i have a good day !! However,it was interesting to note that after an hour of fishing the flee in the morning i just had an unexplicable realisation tnat they were not interested in the flee and turned to the rap. It proved to be the right choice, but what puzzled me was the number of fishers who just kept using the flee even when they had heard of my success with the rap, very odd. I find this kind of blinkered angling difficul to understand. I know there is more to fishing than catching fish, but in a river stuffed with salmon and obviously showing a preference to one particular lure, then surely a change of tactics and a fish on the bank would lead to a more enjoyable angling experience. Alistair, in am just recovering from a similar bug , but hope to get out for the pike in the next month, so i'll give you a call. Alex, Alistair,
