Another weekend with No Fishing!

Just like everywhere else in the country, the rivers are at bursting point & in some cases have burst, not good at any time but even worse at this time of year, thank heavens for living on a hill.
Again that 4 week rotation of the duty engineer noose has came around, Standby over Christmas I can handle but no fishing is disastrous...lol

So it looks like another week of fly tying, at least my boxes are getting topped up nicely, Just need a few days to try them out.

Gold Head & Pheasant Tail

Soft Touch Shrimp Variant

I would like to take this opportunity to thank firstly The Nurses & Doctors at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton as 2 years ago yesterday I was hooked up to a Heart & Lung Monitor fighting for my life and they seen me through so without them I wouldnt be sitting today typing this blog.
To everyone who I have emailed, made floats for or just chatted across the many forums I frequent or met on the river bank whilst fishing, I wish you ALL a very Merry Christmas & a Prosperous New Year for 2013.
