The Lion Tamers: July 2013

Thursday 25 July 2013

Fishing has been great!

Just an update!
Done some fly fishing, done some 'pellet waggler'!

Bone (Steptoe) had a nice Brown out of Blithfield

I had over 100lb of carp plus the odd barbel on my first go on the 'pellet waggler', the crudest form of fishing I have ever done but thoroughly enjoyable!

Please note the careful choice of camo. Stealth is so important on a commercial fishery

And a nice carp on the fly

Also had a couple of excellent days up Wolfscote on the Mayfly!!! No pics same as last year!

Welome to my blog. I am now in my fourth year of fly fishing having joined SOTAS, HAS and DCAC (Monty Python springs to mind)! We'll see how I get on especially days with fellow 'Tamers', 'Bone' and 'Jon. More members announced soon! You will easily recognise me as I am the one who looks as if I have been taught to cast in a circus ring. Any how. I met a guy in the pub a couple of years ago who has since become my fishing buddy and we decided to give it a go. Jon joined us a couple of years ago and we have had a great time. We have met some super people. I suppose we should have invested in lessons but our self taught 'lion tamer' casting style has caught us a few stockies over the past couple of years. We will only go to the stillwaters from now on when our legs ache. Have to say my Blog is not all about fishing as it is not a forum, just a place where I can say what I think and share my experiences should anyone be interested. This season we will be mostly doing all sorts of fishing. Isn't fishing BRILLIANT.
