More interesting fishing (sans fish)....

My best sea trout fly

OK not sure fishing gets much more bonkers than this "Fishing With John - Tom Waits"

Apologies to the squeamish and to the fish too.

More seatrout from the Urr

Ok bit of a rubbish vid here as the battery went flat on me. But the full report is that I went on to lose 2 more seatrout one quite decent one the just wouldn't stop jumping so not a bad evenings sport. I did change the dropper to a kind of black bumble type thing which hooked the best looking fish. Apparently a 12lb Salmon also came out of the river further up.

Some style, way to go girl

Just a quickie to show how good lady fisher-persons are

More bonkers anglers catch a motorbike?
