So there were two new mothers who wanted to go the Baby Show at the SECC and there were two new fathers who wanted to go fishing – simple solution – hook up the two mothers to keep company while the two guys go fishing – sometimes I think James Bond will come after me…
Tying Flees!
Ok – so winter was a washout when it came to tying up flies – if I had my head screwed on I would have tied up some at the end of last season however due to Pike Madness pretty much everything went by the wayside. I thought people who moaned about having no free…
Lessons learned with cold hands…
When I arrived at the “other” river the conditions seemed just right – as I was getting my permit I ran into Neil “Trout Machine” Sinclair of Double Decker fame (double deer hair wings allow the fly to be used in the heavy water where big fish like to sit) -“if he is here” I reasoned…

Seize the moment!

While fishing the river today I looked up……”Good Grief” I exclaimed….”I don’t believe it” – “It cant be..” The most amazing sight in Nature – the nesting of a “Computeras Chairus” David Attenborough eat yer heart out – you guys would rather see this than some crocodile – right?
