Fishing
Fly Fishing, like all great sports/hobbies/obsessions, is littered with its own collection of words and phrases that have evolved to describe specific circumstances or a particular event or item. If you do not live in ‘our’ world and even if you do, it is not always totally obvious what some of this strange language might mean...
I'd been on a promise for a while to get out fly fishing with my father and where better than to return to one of our favourite waters, Arlington reservoir, which I wrote about on my blog last month too.
Arlington reservoir is a bit of a unintended secret really. It's a really lovely dedicated rainbow trout fishery usually operating from January to late summer each year located a stone's throw over the South Downs from the coast in between Lewes and Eastbourne in East Sussex.
This silver beauty is a barramundi caught in Thailand.
Cloaked in silver-plated armour, this stunning barramundi I caught just outside Bangkok in Thailand was just one of many from that day. They hit hard and like to jump too - a great sporting fish!
