My mate an avid fly angler and member of a rather exclusive ''Derbyshire'' fly fishing club,press ganged me into a trip with him a few days ago. To be fair I wasn't too enthusiastic,as I havn't fly fished since the early days at Grafham.But I was only to be the photographer, so what the hell.

I have to say it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable days one could wish for. For not only did my friend produce rainbows up to four pounds-but caught a stunning brownie a superb wild river fish of eight and a half pounds, that I had pointed out to him earlier. Now if only I could work out how to get the image on the site.
