Back after lay-off

I never thought it would happen, but I've just had the longest period without fishing since I was a lad (except for a brief relapse into the dark side... sea fishing!). Up until this week I hadn't been out since last September, and now I'm like a kid again, tying hooks, sorting gear and can't wait to get out again! Thank the Lord I was saved
One thing I have learned, and I've heard it said on this forum a few times. Never sell your gear cos once an angler, always an angler, it's in your blood, and you'll be back! There's no escape

Trying to get on Pauls good side so he will let you have a crack at his uncatchable 8lb Carp...

Love it.

Welcome back.

I am coming to the end of an enforced lay of of 13 months, can't wait to get stuck in.

Tight lines

I know one very good chub angler who has given up (and got rid of all his fishing tackle) at least three times in the last 25 years. Dont worry Dave, I'll not say who you are

Fishing isn't in Slimes blood, infact, there isn't any blood, just Beer....

Welcome back, and hope you have some good fishing.
