Re: I made that!
You certainly have a passion for angling Duke,its lovely that something you began in childhood has stayed with you through life..hopefully you can find other ways to enjoy nature and the countryside that will satisfy the itch.Its always a shame when a disability hampers what we want to do.01-10-2015, 06:48 AM

Although it wern't pink - it were brown !

I 'eard as 'ow one day whilst fishin'
In t' Lune or somewhere like that

'Oo were standin' on t' bridge when it 'appened
And 'er face turned from off-white to peach
And th' affair caused so-much commotion
As t' bobby were called into t' breach

Now Sam 'ad a fair sense of humour
And 'e felt like 'is 'eart were on wings
As 'e 'eld back a chuckle and calm- like 'e said
As ow it were 'just one 'o them things'

Well t' vicars wife Mabel were gettin' fair vexed
At th'ook still caught-up in 'er 'at
And she tugged and she pulled and
She pulled and she tugged
Saying well-well, tut-tut, and that's that !

Then Mabel finally plucked-up 'er courage
And found 'er voice-like at last
Saying 'compensation 'as got to be paid'
But young Sam 'e just smiled and stood fast

Now t' bobby thought 'e were King Solomon
'Cos wisdom of 'is judgement were neat

'Cos it weren't a salmon as 'eed giv' 'er
It were no'but a common brown trout !

Re: I made that!
Ha,Ha Mr Purwell, you are coming over all poetic now. That for sure is a modern verse as it reads "E were casting a Booby Fly". Booby Flies are a modern creation for animal fishermen, unlike purist like me. To get the best from Boobies they need to be fished with a gentle rising and falling motion and are irresistible to the large mouth of a big trout.Yes I make them also.
To complete your education trout have white flesh (I know suckers buy them dyed pink from eating pellets).
The Salmon, the longest standing british freshwater rod caught record, a fish of 64lb caught by the Lock Keepers daughter, Miss Ballantine in 1922. It is the female scent pheromones which attracts fish, for starters.
So today was not wasted , it is good to learn
well done ...how long did it take you to make ?
