Well I have not blogged for a while, I have either been too busy or not fishing.


The lion Tamers have joined a select group of fisherfolk and now have access to an exclusive beat of the River Dove. We are going to a meet soon and I will post more news later.

I have joined The Peacock beat at Rowsley which gives me access to the River Wye to Bakewell and the right to fish the River Lathkill as featured in Izaak Walton's book.

In the meantime, I have been tying! Glen Pointon nipped round the other evening to pick up the membership cards I designed for the new Dove syndicate.It didn't take long to get on the vice and Glen showed me how to tie a killer for the Wye....

He also grabbed the guitar and was surprised it was actually in tune!

Two new Lion Tamers have been press ganged...

Dino and Yica join Bone and me for a pint in the Cow. Jon was milking cows at the time.

Me and Bone had a day on Blithfield. Conditions were lovely for sunbathing. Unfortunately we could not find the fish.

 We have booked a holiday in Crete with a couple of other lads.
