It's a tough old job, but someone has to do it....

A #4 rod Simon.

I've also been quizzing the keeper on where those toothy leviathans reside....... for the winter months!

Indeed, excellent day, were you using a 3/4# rod?

Very nice 🎣👍🏻

Great afternoon and evening with the start of the Mayfly and a few wild Brown Trout ready to oblige.

Well, as I’m here fir five weeks, I’ve brought a bit of kit and just acquired my permit for two weeks here before I move towards the West coast.
I can’t wait to cast a fly again, it’s been well over 25 years!

Great news, keep us abreast of your success. I have caught a few Bow's from still waters but never from a river, sure that's gonna be more challenging.

Uploading can be a bit of a pain, I use tapatalk but have to crop pictures or they are too large to upload. Once cropped it usually works OK. That's a shame though, wish I had a pic of my first cigar, on my 18th Christmas, or even my first Havana at circa 34yo..

Excellent! Couldn't have suggested a better backdrop to your first Havana. If you enjoyed the HUHC, which is a fine wee smoke, then I am just as certain you'll enjoy the others in your selection too. Any pic's of the fishery, trout & cigar?

I must find out how to upload photos....but on this occasion I didn't take any snaps but will do so in the future.

Following a four month long lockdown, Rockbourne Trout fishery reopened today and the Trout were very obliging. The New Forest surroundings together with the wonderful weather made it an outstanding first day of freedom, and all the while serenaded by birdsong and other wildlife stirring in the Spring sunshine. What an occasion to experience my very first cigar - an Upmann half Corona and what a result - truly a reward cigar!

See example of the 'Reward Cigar' Dorsetman

I have tales of Esox - a friend who enjoyed catching them but always ensured another friend unhooked and released it - he was frightened to death of them!
