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

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..... :)

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