It’s been a while but it’s great to get back on the stickleback trail again

Sometimes you get them because they’re connected with the maggot and not the hook.

I thoroughly enjoyed the session, which even at this time of the year means scrambling through dense vegetation.

In fact, even though I had a fleece jacket on, when my wife shaved my hair later she asked why have you got cuts all over your neck and back.

Before I could answer, she said, it’s because you’ve been fishing.

She knows.
