For a number of reasons (mostly weather) I had my first fishing session of the year, an afternoon at my clubs small match lake. The weather was fantastic, too hot for a coat and what joy to be out with nature again. Only two or three bites, no catches, but talking to men who have forgotten more about fishing than I know, it was a very quiet day for all. Watching the geese and ducks, and daffodils budding and catkins heralding spring is on the way. Really looking forward to the warm weather and some great fishing.
I played golf on and off for around fifty years. Due to a hand problem, I had to give up golf and discovered fishing. As one door closed another door opened, such is life. I love the great outdoors and fishing, it gives me a great reason to avoid work and indulge my passion for idleness. Fishing has given me a new challenge, I have started this humble blog as a diary of my fishing trips, items of interest and a place of sanctuary.
