    Yes. My parents live on the river.
    Went to Okere Falls for a look as its been a long time since I was last there. Tough fishing now (from about 25 years ago last time I went there).

    Yeah would have to agree with that. There were plenty running up the ngo but few seemed to be feeding. And those that were feeding seemed to be poorly conditioned. The big browns should start moving up shortly (if they havn't started already) so should be worth a walk at the right time

    It's a tiddler Dundee. But well done anyway.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Bought a 15/16 licence on Saturday, landed first four fish of season (saw a few more) on Sunday, released two small ones.

    Spinners going back in the shed, bringing out the new (first) fly rod once I get it strung up! Frustrating/challenging times ahead... haven't got a clue what I'm doing when it comes to fly fishing.

    Good work.. Carpe Diem could give you some pointers on fly fishing if you need them.

    May work out one day I can show you how to look stupid with a really expensive carbon fibre fish spooker.
    Pay back for the brewing advice.

    Sounds good.

    Have you met Dundee Maca? He is way more noisy than any range finder I have ever used.
