Dear diary…
I’ve just been out to the ‘man cave’ and decided to bring my fishing books back in with me as it’s getting quite damp in there. Amongst the pile I found my old Fisherman’s Record Book which is a…
No Mr Bond, I expect you to dry
Guess what I’m gonna be doing over Xmas! I’ve tied quite a few pike flies but my heads leave quite a lot to be desired, usually consisting of built up thread and then varnish or superglue. I couldn’t really…
