Early mornings

Not too often then I get a chance to go out early onto the water. Today I was out at first light. So fantastically peaceful.

I also realised that the almost constant pain I used to have in my chest has been gone for weeks. I guess I am starting to relax more. Going out fishing must be helping.

Now to work out how to catch these actual fish. I like to fish with a fly rod but I just haven't worked out what the fish like.

On a different note, I googled Jack Gartside (as I always liked his books and his creative fly patterns and hoped to see something of his which might work well for the local game fish), I was saddened to discover that he had passed a couple of years ago. I never met him but I still felt a loss.

Worth viewing large.
