    Casting a google-fly on a wilkipedia lake gets an instant 10 point deduction in most matches,as does mistaking Jivaro for dyaks,your 20 points down mate
  6. mackem
    When were you last in Kalimantan chess?You found the Dayak Bukit a friendly bunch did you?Methinks youve been googling mate
  7. mackem
    No mate,the Jiavro or shuar are in deepest darkest Amazon,Unless the guys I was introduced to were there on a Thomas Cook package tour,Borneo?Different kettle of fish(trout)I am in Borneo most years,your talking about the dyaks,and I should just know a little about them

    I was in a canoe in the Bohol straits a few years ago,the sun was just up,I could feel the heat already,and a LOT of spinners were performing around us,great sight,been in the water with a whale shark in Thailand,but your pig hunting sounds as if it would eclipse any other experience
  10. mackem
    Sounds like you had the trip of a lifetime mate,spinner dolphins are incredible when a large pod perform,any plans on going back?

    Northern india is where I found myself for a year,kashmir in the himalayas,awesome place for various reasons,if you do it ride a bike around to Ladakh and down to Manali,great scenery The pics an old one,fishing for a form of snow-trout in kasmir,1992 I think,I was also back there in '95 shortly after keith Mangam and his group were taken by suspected JKLF members,its still a pretty volatile place Your cats are HUGE And I have seen noodling on a DVD,they have a world championships,everyone in wetsiuts or shorts and t-shirt getting into the rivers,looks great

    I used to lamp in the north of scotland with a couple of guys,they never trained their dogs to retrieve and took bags of rabbits most guys will never see As soon as a rabbit was snapped up they would sprint over,relieve the dog of its catch and spotlight another almost straight away,and so the evening continued,on and on,point and shoots,but those guys were doing it for cash and not sport.

    Nice colouration Ferret,what was the river?
  15. mackem
    Just goes to show,a fool and their money are soon parted

    I have had monkey picked coconuts They just send a trained monkey up to pull you one down I had it,Civet-coffee,but I cant remember if those particular civets are Mustelids or viverrids,its made from beans passed in their faecal-matter Thats why its so expensive,shit-collectors dont work for peanuts I suppose Had chocolate ants,fried scorpion etc
  17. mackem
    Its a nice fish FM,and I can almost smell rural india again What do you want to catch next?
  18. mackem
    second one downs the business,the way the clouds have broken and the sunlights streaming through
  19. mackem
    Whats the fishing Like in Missouri HW?You ever been to India?
  20. mackem
    Oh yeah,I am not like you,I never use a snipe or parrot,the cost of macaws nowadays is prohibitive
  21. mackem
    Heres my trout feathers for big waters and lakes,200 hooks per trace If your going to catch fish do it properly right?
  22. mackem
    Oh,I mean,yeah,course,obvious isnt it Ummm,heres one of my capes,just prior to tying,I always find it best to tie them on site,at the waters edge,fresher that way right?Just tie your hackles and cape onto a delicate 19/0 hook and let the breeze lift it out
  23. mackem
    Any pics of your vice and flies?
  24. mackem
    Obviously I am not going to go into exact details of how I treat my flys beforehand,otherwise there would be no mystique to it,we all have our own little quirks and foibles regarding the fine arts right Get out fishing much Chess?
  25. mackem
    You have to remember,he wrote that book in the 1930's before they had such subtle methods,we are progressing,I once caught 150+ trout in a few hours on my own,using nothing more complex than a carbon-fibre beachcaster,multiplier reel,and a trace of feathers,anyway,as I said,fishing later in the week
