The Grayling are Coming

Well with me now laid up for a few weeks after my Successful knee operation, which although hurts like hell at times, mainly when I'm trying to sleep for some odd reason, they assure me it a success and removed some bone which had fused to my crucial ligament and micro fractured my knee, Doesn't bear thinking about.

Anyway I cant be sitting around bored so had prepared these floats almost ready for painting before I went into hospital so here they are finished off, all ready for the forthcoming Grayling season & together with some tagged Griffith Gnats I tied up we are well on the way for the Ladies forthcoming season.

  4. Ian,
    Just doing what I always do on the floats, like I keep saying my floats are for using,I dont make floats to be works of art, to look pretty and be hung on a wall in a picture frame, I make them for what they were designed for..........catching fish.

    I still stick with that, its probably the photographic skills that have improved in conjunction with the bag of feathers I'm currently using as backdrops...now where did I get them from again.....lol
    cheers again George
