Barney dog woke me up about 6am and climbed in for cuddle (he is an old softy)...next thing I knew it was 9.30!!! rushed downstairs and filled my flasks and made a couple of ham sandwiches...put the lead on Barney and was out of the house before 10.

 

"See you tonight Haz" I called out as I went out the door.

 

Got to the lake and thank goodness the swim I had checked out the evenlng before was empty, and as I set up the first rod a fish rolled out by the LH island.

 

All three rods out and the brolly set up to shelter from the East wind....Barney wandering about and meeting the local dogs and their owners,time for a nice cup of coffee.

 

About midday Hazel arrives to pick up Barney, we have a chat about her piano lesson, and off she goes, but not before asking if "Sausages OK for you Den? " "Yes please, with mash would be nice" "See you about 9pm then? Do you want me to record Dibnah for you?"

 

About 2pm the middle rod flies off but I miss the fish due to a tangled rig..blast blast blast!

 

Recast and a short while later a full bloodied run and a 14 ends in the net, this is followed by another about the same size but there are no more today.

 

Arrived home about 9.30 and din is in the microwave and Dibnah in the video player...sausage and mash with a bit of brown sauce, and half an hour of Freds magic...and the music is stunning.

 

As Fred would have said "Aint life grand"

 

With special thanks to my wonderful wife Hazel.

Den, thats what life should be all about, good fishing, good food, and a wife that helps these things to flow.

 

I used to take my dog with me but sadly lost her 3 years ago so have to go on my own ever since. I lost my other one on the 8th April this year, mind you he was 13. Not a bad age for a German shephard dog tho'.

Funny you should say that Den?!;-)

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))
