OK, so having gone through my mobile 'phone the following are the only clean/safe pics to post of the Game Fair
This was base camp (a proper man-sized tent
) which was surprisingly comfortable and one of my better purchases..... despite protestations from some fronts suggesting I had simply brought a 2 bedroom house with me it
wasn't the biggest tent on site by far. We had a bit of an 'anglers corner' with Jim and Tony from Guide Fly Fishing next door, not sure what the neighbours thought of us casting after hours but the fried spam, egg and cheese rolls on the Friday night were epic
Having found my favourite beer in the food tent (pretty much anything from the Black Isle brewery
http://www.blackislebrewery.com/ ) Ben decided that in order to better demonstrate how I could improve my balance whilst single handed spey casting a prop of some kind was necessary...... it worked
And finally on Sunday a very deserted fishermans row as every sane mortal took cover from thunder/lightening/pissing down rain. If it had got any heavier we could have done demos on the road......
Great fun, roll on 2011
As a wee aside I visited a small tent on fishermans row, within was a good selection of second-hand fishing books from a new shop shortly about to open at Bridge of Cally. Nice guy (Andrew I think) runs it, they have recently relocated to the area. Have a look at his website
www.riverthoughtfulfishingbooks.co.uk once the shop is opened properly it's handily on the way to Perth and will doubtless have plenty of goodies
