Another great article Mark!! I enjoy your honest and knowledgeable approach to fishing - its great to read about real fishing, where stuff not going to plan happens, its an honesty that is not apparent when reading the majority of articles written by 'the names'.
Super to read about it going well too. Guiding must be a pressure and having to produce the goods for other!! I am tempted to get a guided trip for zander myself!!
Also great to read a measured response to Eastern Europeans, they have had a bad press - in some cases it has been justified - but there are some damn fine foreign anglers who are in a growing majority and we could learn much from them.
