A rainy day on the Royalty from a couple of weeks ago,.. hate being under the brolly but the little robin would have gladly swapped places I suspect.

Had the pleasure of fishing the HAvon with this bfw stalwart a couple of weeks ago. Couldn’t help noticing what a cool dude he looked whilst modelling the latest ‘off-the,-shoulder’ one piece!😁

Always some in the fridge if yer passing Bill.

Cracking pics Neil,.. about time I sorted a few more out !

Damian,.. I get your drift but many of those I’ve seen on the banks of the Avon this past week have been enjoying the beautiful Avon valley surroundings and regard a good fish as a bonus. Like many of them I rarely put up pics of fish nowadays but would rather capture the ‘whole package ‘ as it...

Haven’t much use for alarms nowadays so haven’t really kept up to speed with what’s new. I started with a pair of Herons then brought hi and low tone optonics around late 70’s which served me well,... still got them tucked away somewhere. Although they were a massive technical step up from the...

Not a spot of rain at Ensbury,... dogs going apeshit though. Hates thunder.
