Post by: Hamish Young on 14/12/2011 at 23:18: I know this will sound a bit wishy washy, but all I really want for 2012 is a few more days fishing, a few less days working, tight lines for me and my chums, fair conditions and a fair fishing breeze :cool:

If it had to be 'material things' then a decent fly tying desk and a top quality wading stick would be right up there on my list to Santa :wink plus a few other things, but hopefully there's plenty of birthdays and Christmases still to come to see those wishes fulfilled.

Post by: Rob Brownfield on 16/12/2011 at 00:24: I have spent rather too much on tackle in 2011, and when I say rather, I mean wayyyyy too much, so no fishing gear for xmas for me!

However, I am getting a nice new camera bag/rucksak from LowePro so I can bugger off up mountains etc with a camera and a few lenses but still have room for a camelbak and clothing. Pretty funky design.

Post by: Kev Danby on 16/12/2011 at 09:01: New waders and boots for me. I've had the last pair for 4 seasons.

Must remember no to take mini me as he seems to cost me a few extra pennies at the tackle shop.

Post by: Iain Goolager on 16/12/2011 at 23:29: I don't get presents anymore :z19 I'm a buyer now :z19

A Simms RADAR hat for the 11th February and there on in
I really need one fishing video so at least I can pretend to be on a bank somewhere on Christmas Day - I think I'm going to purchase The Fish & The Fly 2 Nymphs but I've maybe left it too late - i'll go online in a mo

Post by: Euan Innes on 18/12/2011 at 22:57: Iain,
Not laughing, no.
In the same way that your arse is now blowing "trumpet voluntary" in a deeper key, not laughing. :z4 :z4 :z4
Keep going for the reel seat, cos it sounds like your ring is a "keeper" :z16

The things you do for 'boo! :shock
Good luck on the coming cold nights...
