Sunset

Watching the sunset whilst standing on the roof of my house… first time I’ve been up there, it’s not a bad view!

Catch Up

Posted by on May 24, 2012 in Everything Else, Fly Casting | 0 comments

I’ve fallen behind with my every day in May posts which is no surprise really but at least I do have some good excuses! Carrying on from my last post I gave a lesson on Saturday morning which went well, my client did a great job and was very fast to put my advice into practice. He came looking for a tune up and to improve his roll casting so over the course of the morning we developed his roll cast, polished up his overhead loops and also started double hauling. I’ve genuinely never seen anyone pick up double hauling so quickly and so such a high standard right from the get go. If...

Clutter

In keeping with the theme of organisation but swinging this time from the cyber world to the real world, don’t you find organising and storing your fly fishing gear to be a right pain in the arse sometimes? This picture shows only some of my gear and admittedly it isn’t stored away it’s just piled up on a floor for quick selection on the way out the door on the next trip, this way I never temporarily lose anything – it’s always there or lost forever, it’s never just filed away in some place unbeknown to any living sole!   There are some cool suggestions...

Reading blogs

It occured to me that I’ve never posted about this important topic or ever read about it on other blogs. The big question is how do you manage other people’s blog posts and read them? Do you just skim every so often? Do you follow comments? Do you subscribe to some of your favourites etc? I’ve got links to a number of great blogs that I enjoy reading the content of but it was becoming a nightmare trying to keep track of things and I no doubt missed out on great material. I’ve found a solution though! GOOGLE READER! Google Reader is a tool that lets you subscribe to as...

It’s wet and windy…

Posted by on May 13, 2012 in Everything Else | 3 comments

It’s getting closer to that moment that I’ve spoken lots about – the 17th of May. The day when I get as much free time as I want to go and fish and cast as much as I like. Unfortunately though between now and then I have a whole load of studying and an exam to complete and now even the weather has turned against me. The weather has been horrible today, very windy and the rain is skelping down now alright. Sods law will have it that the rivers will more than likely not be in best nick when my free time comes along. At least the blog posts will be better! I’m planning to...

Where it all happens…

Where it all happens…

I’ve done nothing but study today so for today’s picture it is a shot of where it all happens, i.e. my messy desk that currently has an innumberable amount of paper and other clutter on it along with a laptop to write this most important blog post. Tomorrow is looking like much of the same but I’ll make sure to get a better picture and try and write something more interesting. I am really pushed for time at the moment though, these blog posts are being pushed through under a maximum time limit of around 3 minutes! Things will change after the 17th though, I promise the...
