Had the afternoon off from gardening in the blazing sun, put some sun cream on and went down to the local burn.

Fly fishing, something I have never achieved.

Glad it went back for another to enjoy landing

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

Cheers guys, I can walk down to this stream from home, though I boiled in chest high neoprene waders on the walk back.

I was a coarse fisher when I lived in England, but there's little of it in my part of Scotland, I do go after the Grayling with my trotting rod and a centre pin reel now and again.

When Tigerburnie isn't fishing, he's mending his nets..... :)

Fishnets on the plot !!!!! There's a snag there somewhere.

Grayling are one of the nicest tasting fish I have eaten nearly as good as perch
