When I was around 10 years old my Dad gave me a book called "Fly Fishing is Easy" somewhere along my road through life I lost it.....I came into my office last summer and a work colleague of mine had seen the book for sale in a second hand shop for 50p, and bought it for me as a bit of a joke,....he was totally surprised (and maybe disappointed?) when I was absolutely over the moon at his purchase! Cheers Aled

I've re-read Hugh Falkus, Arthur Oglesby, Colin Willocock, John Humphreys, & Moc Morgans, fishing & shooting books many times. I have also re-read Stephen Kings novels, but a personal favourite is the Regeneration trilogy by Pat Barker, and one Welsh language book I often pick up "Bywyd Cymro " (The life of a Welshman) by Gwynfor Evans. Cheers Aled

No it was Llangadog strimmer-13. Cheers Aled

mgsontour: hope you don't mind I too am in the market for calf length boots, some nice ideas here, guys, anybody know anything about amblers pillar boots? A local deerstalker suggested they are worth a look? Cheers Aled

Amazon sell them for some reason I can't copy and post the link, they cost around £10, I just put razor pitt into google and there are plenty of links. Cheers Aled

I'm seeing a lot more than usual saw 5 on Saturday whilst dog walking (no gun), so plan to take the gun one day this week! Cheers Aled

I enjoyed his programme on shooting and conservation, also loved his programmes when I was a child. RIP David

Does anybody here vote for a candidate first, and a party second? Cheers Aled

Don't know if its still happening in my area, but......Many years whilst waiting for dark on one of my favourite sea trout pools I saw a white van pull in to a layby on the road above the pool, open the van and release 3 foxes from some cage traps. The layby is near where my wife was brought up, and they often saw a white van there on summer evenings. Cheers Aled

Seems to be a fair few woodcock around here at the moment, I saw 5 yesterday in a very short space of time from a very small area. Quite pleased with my dog as this is his first proper year and he is able to find woodcock which is good. Cheers Aled

Well I like Christmas, as I usually have a nice bit of time off, and get to see all my family and friends. I also get some time to do some shooting, and one of the most enjoyable days is when a couple of mates and I have a rough shoot in my home valley. Each to their own, do what makes you happy is what I say. Cheers Aled

Saw one this morning whilst walking the dog. At last! Cheers Aled

Blimey! Some of the stories about Jack are quite surprising, never knew any of those stories. Something did cross my mind though: after watching his salmon run programme where he talked about timeshare groups buying out salmon fishing, it did cross my mind that he only once mentioned angling associations, who were also warily watching timeshare groups at the time. Cheers Aled

Centrepin, there is many a true word said in jest. Aled

Went looking for them on Saturday sadly didn't see any. Cheers Aled
