Awwwwwwwe :

Have to confess had a good laugh tonight :  :

Great show, must sympathise Wendy though, Cramp is my bugbear when in the tube.
How did you find it?
I love fishing from the tube even if the sight of me pirroetting around with the flippers in the air every so often, is ridiculous.

All good fun

Sandy

[Hamish Young]

Leaking waders can't have helped  :
Nice to see some fly tying being done  

[Sandy Nelson]

Yeah!
 
Leaky waders seem to have been a feature of lots of peoples 2006 :

never mind i least we learned the secret about painting your toes to catch fish, i guess thats why Hamish always keeps his boots on. :


   

[Hamish Young]

.... i guess thats why Hamish always keeps his boots on. :    

No... that's to keep the smell in  :
I stopped applying varish to my toe nails when my girth 'matured' a little  :z9

[Jay Scott]

I really enjoyed tonights show one of the best so far and nice to see people wetting their hands before handling the fish. Can anyone tell me, what was the stuff thay used for tying the daddy long legs body?

Thanks, Jay

[Hamish Young]

Raffia (which they used for the body on the daddy) is a relatively soft but hard wearing natural fibre commonly used in various crafts including basket and mat making  :idea:
Raffia was quite commonly used in the 'revolution' of imitative stillwater fly tying of the late '70s (sinfoils fry fly for example). Plain raffia fibres can be commonly found in good garden centres but for fly tying it comes in loads of colours but is pretty unfashionable these days - synthetics have taken over  :

[Mike Barrio]

Yes, great stuff once again  

Best wishes

[wendy]

hahahaha glad you all had a good laugh!! I was wet up to my chest and they thought i was telling lies!

I get knocked down but i get up again and again and again!!!!!      

I loved the float tube for getting to places that you would never get to from the bank.

[Ian Brown]

Has anyone noticed when Nick is playing a fish his tongue goes mad licking his lips it's almost as if he can taste it cooked. The only side effect I get when fighting Mikes hard fighting fish is a bloody sore arm and an increased heartrate. :
I thought it was a bit cruel for them not to give wendy a tow back to the shore especially later on when she wrung out her socks :  i hope they bought her a "wee doch an doris afore she ganged awa"

cheers,
ian

[wendy]

they did look after me when they got me to the jeeps, they wrapped me up and gave me lots of hot drinks!

[Barry Robertson]

Anyone have any ideas where the link for last night show is or is the programme finished now.

Thanks.

[Derek 365]

I guess because the footie was on it seams to have be postponed but it's on next week according the my sky menu

[wendy]

Guys i think there is 4 series left, i'm not sure, it's a 10 week programme.

[Mike Barrio]

Did anybody see it this week? Where were they fishing? ........ I missed it I'm afraid  :

Best wishes
Mike

[Hamish Young]

I 'caught' it  
The party split up and 2 went hill loch fishing proper with Jon and the others on more accesible lochs - brought back memories of the Scourie hill lochs when me and my father fished there some 25 years ago  :  Jings, I must be getting old  
To be honest whilst it was nice enough to watch it was a slightly dull episode although seeing Jon and chums making a brew with a Kelly Kettle was interesting.
I think they're off to a stocked fishery in the next episode.

[wildfisher]

Superscot  (Colin) from the wild fishing forum put it on line. You can view it at :

As the football was on ITV last night 'Fishing School is returns on Monday 12th at 8 o'clock.

[Mike Barrio]

I don't know ...... what a "funny" day I've had today  

All sorts of stuff went wrong and that includes a fair bit of website down time this evening  :

Luckily I have Mrs B to look after me and she noticed that the Fishing School was on the telly tonight instead of tomorrow ...... so I didn't miss it  

The "pupils" travelled down to Tarvie Loch near Inverness for some rainbow fishing and seemed to enjoy themselves in the boats ........ didn't see Wendy catch anything though  

Must have felt a bit different pushing out cat's whiskers instead of the "proper flies" that they had been using so far in the series. They coped well though and most were rewarded with fish. They also had a go with sink tip lines which probably felt "interesting" after the floaters.

Enjoyed the show
Best wishes
Mike

PS: I just noticed that Derek had spotted the change to Monday in his post above.

[Mike Barrio]

Well, great programme tonight, I really enjoyed it and found myself wanting to be there.

Nice to see Wendy catching a fish and finding out that she likes running water  

Great stuff
Mike Barrio

[Hamish Young]

Tonights programme must have been good - as soon as it finished my boss was on the 'phone asking for some fly fishing lessons and a fishing trip  

I still can't make my mind up if this is a good or a bad thing  :
