Well this year i have seen more rabbits around me than i have for the last 10 years put together. Found some land where i can harvest a few. A friend of mine has bought 2 ferrets for the 1st time in years, so i hope to join him in the field this winter.

Quite a few of my fishing mates claim that reading Trout & Salmon magazine helped them pass their English GCSE....as an aside one of my other pals passed his resit Welsh language GCSE...he asked to borrow my Coursework file (i'd already passed so no longer needed it), he got a couple of A grades for writing pieces on angling...a bit of a coincidence becasue...so had I the previous year

Getting a young person to read fishing (or any other hobby) magazine is a great help in improving their reading, they often improve and they are unaware that they have improved as its been a pleasure rather than a chore. My wife is a teacher and often says that reading hobby magazines is a great way to encourage youngsters to read.

My angling club has just rented a new bit of water, so my son and i went down for a recce and a fish last night. We saw 4 rabbits on the way down and 6 on the way back,(all in different areas) that's the most I've seen in one night in my area for over 15 years!!! ...ps we also caught a 4lb brown trout and saw 2 hedgehogs!

My son and i went out last night looking to catch a brown trout for the table, we got one, but slightly bigger than we expected! Flesh is a lovely red colour and will be eaten with home grown veg and a glass of dry white wine.
Sometimes a leftovers lunch can be surprisingly tasty, left over bolonaise mince, some baked beans n sausages and a small new potato with bread crusts. Heated up, tasted better than some tin soups I've had! Apologies picture is upside down!!
Jonjon79: A friend of mine is a nurse and she'll often finish the night shift, and will eat something like lasagne and chips at breakfast time plus a glass of wine before heading to bed.

I bought one of these a few years ago and it does help blades last longer. However the price of these pits have gone up a lot as well!!
Kept a record of my fishing and shooting trips for years, with one exception the first half of 1996, it was the year of my finals at University, and that took priority!
There's a bit of land i went to last night which has a fair few rabbits, most i've seen for a while, landowners wants numbers reduced on his hay field. Cant believe i may be able to bag a few!
Danielcain: My experience of the taste of Rainbow Trout seems to depend on where they were caught and where in the reservoir they feed. Back in the days of fishing the ledgered worm it seemed that trout caught on the bottom tasted different more muddy to those caught on fly higher up the water. Take what you want from my comments. Otheres may find things different.
