Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Finn666]

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!

[Giles]

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.....

[DanielAFC]

Beautiful work on the flies!

[Snowy]

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

[Peter]

good luck giles! flies/photos are excellent. very jealous..

[Mild7]

Lovely flies G..  Looks rather purest to me
Work up a few whoppers next week!

[Giles]

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

[RedStripe]

Those flies look delicious, the pics of them aren't too shabby either Giles

I'm out next week, but its taking me 15 minutes to tie a simple hair rig, as the tip of my thumb went missing last week (damned sharpmaker ;D)

I'm driving myself mad trying to catch a Barbel; only 5 days to go now this season
I was put onto a swim and caught this twice in 20 minutes 

[Giles]

Not the brightest bream on the block then…...I am going to try and hit The Royalty in the summer and catch me a Barbel.....

[RedStripe]

Me too Giles; I'm on holiday in Bournemouth for a week so I'm going to try to get a day down there.
I think I'll be rolling meat.

If you haven't seen these they're quite good/amusing.

[Giles]

Let me know, perhaps we can go together. I'll look at the vids later, but this is what I want to learn to do,  I've seen them doing it there and need to have a go.

[RedStripe]

will do Giles and if your ever in London on business, then you are more than welcome to be my guest on the river Colne http://www.uracs.co.uk/rickmansworth/

Also I'd recommend getting this, if you haven't already, a great general barbel book - its very informative, well written and humourous.

Also its only a fiver as they've got damaged spines (usually £25)

[Giles]

Thank you.

Looks great.

I'll buy the book…...

I went for a spot of dropshotting on the canal, second time trying this method.

Caught a small perch; I think I will give this a few more goes, because its active and fun

[RedStripe]

Quick drop shot session on the canal resulted in a tiny perch

Then this little fella came along, quite pleased as it's the first (jack) pike I've caught.

[RedStripe]

First time fishing for carp on the float for me, all tiny fish, 18 = 35lbs

Great fun and nice of my mate to take me there.
