oscarsdad 4 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Good afternoon all - I have just signed up to the forum hoping to learn as much as possible. I am into most countryside pursuits, fishing and shooting. I have a young border terrier and will very soon be getting a working cocker pup as well. I would consider myself pretty proficient at all types of fishing so may be able to advise some people on that but I think I have a lot to learn about shooting and fieldcraft. Most of my fishing at the moment is trout fishing on estate lakes or chubbing on small rivers, but I also do all other sorts of fishing apart from sitting behind bite alarms waiting for something to happen! Biggest fish so far is a 440lb white sturgeon in Canada. Most of my shooting is stalking rabbits with my air rifle but I also decoy pigeons to the shotgun when I can and when I can find some more suitable land near me for pigeons. I also love cooking, especially creating new things with things I have shot or caught. Cheers Anthony Edited October 24, 2011 by oscarsdad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oscarsdad 4 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 The fish really did beat me up for about an hour - my guide wouldn't let me have a butt pad as apparently in canada "they are for pussies and girls" so I had a nice bruise! It is a stunning place to fish, I had salmon to 90lb on the fly and over five days fishing landed 23 sturgeon with 10 on my first day! I am saving up to go back.
