Trout With Rob


As we walked down to the Rugby game me and Rob discussed
our next outing , we said Sunday evening may be OK only problem
the rain , for the last few years the amount of summer rainfall seems
to have increased , that and the fact that Rob fly fishes some
exclusive waters means we only get out on the river a few times a
year , we have known each other close on 20 years
and with me picking up the fly rod a little more often I hope to
increase the amount of times we fish . On the way down
to the river we wondered if the river would be to high and
coloured but it was just about OK a couple of rising fish spotted
off the bridge quickened our pace to the river.
A nice Trout started things off ,in great condition and well
over a pound around14inc .
Rob was in next and we continued to hook catch and loose
fish on what was a good evening.
A nice photo of a typical Brownie from this river.
Below Rob plays a nice fish around the pound mark
on his little #4 brook rod.

Glad to be back oldsmuggler the river is less than 30km from my house and I can be on the bank within 20 mins . The other rivers take me half an hour or so , I have got a new opportunity to join a society with over 200 waters many of which are rivers!! could keep me busy for the rest of my life .

''A Thought''

A simple philosophy I have adopted over the years has been tested and re-enforced in the past few weeks. It is to celebrate those good and pleasing things encountered in daily life, no matter how small, with at least the same vigour as I bemoan the bad or merely vexing.
