  4. Too much spare time?Surely you jest sir?Two kids,er indoors,a dog,and I work all hours that god sends wearing my fingers to the bone to finance Gordons stay in No10,well,it has to be for something like that or prescotts little junkets because I sure as hell dont see any of the f***ing money I earn,and you say I have too much spare time?I am like everyone else mate,running on the wheel to keep it spinning As for Mr Lee,he sent me a thousand apologies via PM,I am not a bad guy mate,I dont hold a grudge,even though he did besmirch my character and good name,but he has admitted to working in a
  5. Yeah,I have had sea-trout and salmon in the net at the same time on many occassions,landing net of course after playing them skilfully and getting them to the bank after an epic tussle,then I simply scooped them up,to the victor the spoils hey Chess?
  6. No mate,they werent from Rossythe,I never used to go there :hmm:But your right about the 'tach,it is a bit 's porn-star'esque
  7. Just had a coffee in the canteen and thought about this question,I think the threads I LEARNT most from on THL are "Snaremans",he put thought and effort into them,I just hope he puts similar knowledge into book form
  8. Your right in one thing DS,some races,cultures,ethnicities have a deeper "Connection"feeling,whatever with their departed ancestors,my mother-in-law still refers to death as souls being harvested and every all-souls-eve the entire family descend upon the local cemetary,which takes on the appearance of a rave for the night as each grave is visited from dusk-to-dawn by family members eating&sleeping beside,and chatting to their departed kin The thing is,they never forget
  9. No mate,thats being saved for a special project,we are actually buying a sort of freshwater "Trawler" this weekend

    Good man,he got a fish
  18. Anything alternative,little bit different,off-the-wall,I actually used to enjoy reading the Minshaw thread,and though I shouldnt adimt this,anything by MarkBrick is always a great read,fair enough he takes some flack,but he bounces back,you cant knock him for that
  19. The stag and the grouse arent a problem where you are TJ,neither is the salmon But with a fly is a different story
  20. Yeah,if you wouldnt mind that would be good,the only place I ever saw adders was stanhope in Weardale and even then it was only a couple,I actually like them better than grass snakes.Their markings are beautiful
  21. Got any pics of the adders simo?I am fascinated by snakes,only seen a few wild adders,mainly only grass snakes round here,lots of common lizards and slow worms.
  22. Roe,chinese and muntie are impressive,I am sure if we asked nicely you might even tell us the best place to watch chinese?I actually saw one in China but never here in the UK. You have rather lofty ambitions JOE I wonder what sort of trout you will be targetting? Aled,maybe your right,when I was a kid it was no great shakes to pick up bags of 30,40,50 assorted sea-trout and salmon,certainly as a 15 year old I could do that several times in a season,whatever methods I used I think your right though,salmon are on the decline,but its still the best fish we have in british waters,nothing qui
