Success - trout for tea!

My hunter gatherer went off to a local trout pond today, not just for casting practice but fishing- and look what he brought home!! Yum Yum! This is all for me as although LB loves fishing he doesn't eat fish! So that's my food sorted for tonight, I'd better nip down to the shops to get him something nice, I've a funny feeling beans on toast wouldn't go down well with him! Thank you LB!

ps the garden is coming on well, that's our pear tree in full bloom in the background.

Thrashing the Grass

Whilst having fly fishing tuition in Derbyshire LB learnt the phrase "thrashing the water" to describe casting with a fly rod and fishing. Now we're home he's thrashing the grass. Not suprisingly he hasn't caught anything but he's strengthening his casting arm and improving his casting. He can get the line to go out straighter now as you can see by the photo. Hopefully I'll have a nice fresh trout to eat by the end of the summer! Mind you, it took us about two years to catch a mackerel when we first had the boat in Pembs and they're the easiest of fish to catch! Anyway I suppose my supper isn't the point of all this. It's great to see him so enthusiastic about his new hobby and enjoying himself so much.

Oops!

I forgot to add the photo!

No fish supper yet!

My hunter gatherer is trying hard to feed me. Fortunately there's a Tesco down the road. This is a lovely place but no 3G. Will post more details when I can get online with the computer. Elvie

Tickled Trout

Here we are at the Tickled Trout in Derbyshire. We're staying nearby. LB is having some fly fishing lessons while I do some photography. Sadly there were no trout for tea today. I hope his skills improve before we come home!
