    I did it. Probably won't do it again but glad I ticked it off my list.

    I'll admit that I don't understand the enthusiasm. There's no casting and you basically just sit around hoping for a nibble. People are like "oh it's fun, you just listen to music and drink." I say the same thing about bars and my house.

    Think it, be it.

      my brother asked me to go ice fishing with him last week
      2 reasons i said no
      1. i dont have the gear, snow suite, boots any of it
      2. siting in a hut freezing cold to catch half frozen slow moving fish that have no fight in them doesn't do it for me

      don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

        You can do it with as little or as much discomfort as you want. Some ice fishing cabins are heated and have electricity, TV, etc. I think I'd prefer to suffer.

        Think it, be it.

          From two winters ago now. Not keen enough to get out in the winter time anymore, but the river here has some of the best cut throat fishing you could ask for and gets a ton of summertime visitors from around the world

                Some halibut from last summer when I was at sea. So tasty!

                    Great pics all, really enjoying them. 😘

                    My barbelling sessions have resulted in more chub, but I'm getting lots of advice from the members on the club stretch of river, so hopefully things will change soon 😠

                      In about a week I go Bonefishing for a week in Andros, Bahamas.

                      4 weeks ago I set myself the goal of tying at least 2 flies per day between than and when I left.  I'm just about on target:

                            It was Ben last time.  He can't come this time as he has just started a new business.  I was let down at the last moment by another friend, so I was going to cancel, but Paula gave me shit and basically told me that I needed to go and get a break, because the next few months could be just as shitty for me as it will be for her.  I would have liked P to come, but a) she's not meant to travel, b) If she could, she'd be uninsurable, c) there is nothing (and I mean nothing) to do where I go, except fish.  So I have a good friend flying down from Kentucky for 3 of the 6 days I am there…..

                              still sounds like fun…and as long as your fishing guide is with you, great things are about to happen i think  😉
                              much fun in advance sir and i really hope those selfmade flyes gonna bring you some bigass fishies!

                                I'll be with my Bahamian friend Phillip.  I need a guy with a boat to get me out to the "Flats"….

                                I have high hopes for this one - may tie up a few more of them.....

                                    It's the eyes and tails on them that look amazing. Okay and their 'hair' too. I'm surprised you have the patience for such delicate work

                                          Went out for a curry tonight, but managed to tie a few more of the pink one.  Pics will come….
