What did you get from Santa
« on: 26/12/2013 at 23:37 »
Guys,
did you get any good fishing goodies from Santa?

I got a Go pro camera which I have no idea how to use yet. I have sent a PM to Goolager for help but if anyone else is conversant with elec trickery any advice would be welcome. I am guessing that Iain Camweron and Euan Soundmixer might have something to say.

P.S,

Euan I picked up a rather fetching Russian hat for you in Azerbaijan to keep your lugs warm next spring. I will give it to you next time we meet.

Eddie.  :z18

I picked up a tenkara rod from the Czech Republic via ebay for less than £60 new, inc P&P



that's the tenkara rod at the bottom, with its case in the middle. On the top is the butt section from a 4 piece 9 footer just for scale.

Not entirely sure what I'll use it for - but have been doing some nymphing/bugging for grayling with my regular fly rods with leader to hand method and no fly line out of the rod - so I think that's probably where it will fit it.  It'll also fit in the rear pocket of my fishing vest, so it can be carried along as a 2nd rod without getting in the way.

the rod is incredibly thin at the tip, so it'll fun to play with in close quarters stuff.

oh, and bought some more of the excellent barbless, black hooks from fishonproductions - I really like their range of hooks.

When we bought our house the previous owners said there was a squirrel in the back garden. We've yet to see it. To give it some encouragement the wife bought me a squirrel feeder!
