Two of My Favourite Things.

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat.

Here are two purchases I made with Christmas pressy money last year which have seen some proper use this year and are still going strong.

I like to be mobile, especially on rivers, and these two fit the bill.

Both were from John Norris of Penrith, a game anglers mecca and somewhere we always called in at on our way up to the Highlands.

First is a shooting stick which allows you to have a seat upon almost any gradient and surface, apart from deep mud into which the shaft will disappear - which I found out to my cost last weekend!

Second is a Daiwa Wilderness folding Trout net. These fellas are cheap as chips, extendable, light and easy to carry through undergrowth.



Cheers.

  1. That shop is the absolute nuts! even if you don't fly fish it makes you want to try.

    I very nearly bought a split cane trout rod there earlier this year - I was very nearly going for the till when Judy appeared with the best fishing jumper in the world - pure wool, with a zip up neck. The rod was put back in the rack...

    I was playing about with that same net you bought Keith, considering its uses on rivers.
