Once more

Just one more weekend then my river season will be over. One more weekend of sleep deprivation, physical exertion, launching in the dark, getting covered in fish gunk, sleeping in the open air, eating out of the saucepan, getting battered by the elements, coming home knackered and generally having a fantastic time. Sometimes it’s tough and you ask yourself “why?” sometimes it’s rewarding, sometimes it’s exhilarating but it’s always beautiful.

So one more adventure afloat to go, which will bring an end to another interesting season. Once again the Pike have not behaved as expected. Plan A didn’t always work and Plan B only materialised late in the day. As ever I’ve learnt a hell of a lot and a few more ideas clicked into place. Just one more whacker to finish the season on a high please. Then six months rest before we go again…

Here's one from a year ago...
