Still windy, and some nice cock capes!!

20 May, 2004 by Alistair

Bought some nice cock capes off of ebay the other day and they arrived today……they look nice, very nice!! 2 light game and 2 furnace. If anyone has any easy peasy patterns I could follow let me know. I went up to the west end today with claires sister. She showed me a little book shop that i hadnt been in before, it was great plus it had a pile of fly fishing books, old ones that looked real nice…….I reckon Im going to take 20 quid and go down in the morning and buy them…….just what i need, more books cluttering up my flat 🙂

Its still a bit windy today, I should have headed out this morning but I had lots to do, uni work, tidying up, the windows , out for a run……..stuff like that! Anyway, at 3pmish teh window started to pick up so i dont see much chance of heading to the river……although possibly if at 7pm it looks ok then I might get Claire to drop me off!!Claire is on nightshift right now, has been for the last wee while, next week she is back to day shift which means i can get a lift up to the west end, and make her car a base for my jacket and stuff until I work out whether it is going to be a duff day or not, then once ive worked that out I can start working my way along through the west end stretch……….exellent!!!!!

Had a mail the other day from someone who has been fishing that stretch and been doing quite well with the wee brownies…..im looking forward to it!!!
