do my eyes deceive me? paul boote taking umbrage at a light hearted comment? what is the world coming to. next he'll be using abusive and insulting language to helpful AN regulars.

 

Oh, what do you mean he's already done that?

 

Did you know pauls been fishing longer than the whole of AN put together, caught bigger fish, been to more interesting places and droned on about it longer than anyone else?

 

We should all be thankful that his latest outburst didn't contain a reference to some slapper he was seeing at the time.

 

Chill out paul, lifes to short (actually those shorts you wear are too short too, but that's another story :))

It's a bit off topic, well sort of, but talking about peacock quills, brought back memories of home made floats, collecting crow and goose feathers, to put cork bodies on. Elder pith and the old porcupine quills in loads of different sizes, that had to be shotted individually because they varied so much. And the smells, when ever I smell linseed oil I'm transported back to my dads tackle box, and the soaking of his keep nets in the stuff. The gear we use now doesn't have a warm earthy smell to it, like wicker, and the old cedar float box he used to have. It's all just a plasticy smell now.

 

I apologise to KAYC for hijacking the thread, but the urge to wander down memory lane was just too strong. :)

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

Ahhhh, the smell of the tackle shop in the 60's (I'm not kidding). It was intense, and I really miss that. What was that smell? Sort of canvasey and woody and leathery. I just got a hint of it from my gardening gloves ;)

Bleeding heart liberal pinko, with bacon on top.

Glenn, that smell was mostly "Old Angler" :) :)

 

Ogden Smiths in George street, Croydon, in the 1950's was a place of magic and mysterious promise,

Is that where the saying "Old anglers never die, they only smell that way", comes from Den :)

Chill, Jeepie Boy, you're just living in the fantasy that is The Matrix.
