Fly Fishing
Going fly fishing soon. A lesson. Supposed to relax me.
Wife bought me the lesson a couple of years ago, but was so busy having just been elected (probably busy telling everyone I was elected!) that I didn’t get round to it then.
Anyone know anything about it?
It sounded/looked really good on the films I’ve seen it in (A River Runs Through It)and the books I’ve read (The Pied Piper, by Neville Shute) recently. The only time I’ve previously tried fishing, I spent 3 hours in the teeming rain at a private lake in North Wales. Most of the 3 hours were spent trying to sew a piece of sweetcorn to a fish-hook! I trudged back to the hotel and dried myself by the fire with some large whiskies and pleasant conversation. At least some of that day had pleasant memories!
Looking at hols at the moment - considering Cuba, Croatia and Greece, but open to ideas. I suppose cold weather and a wife with garden leave kind of concentrate your mind towards warmer climes.
Anybody got better ideas, let me know…
