Iain,
"Why did you photograph it against the backdrop of your suit jacket? "
Because the option was a pink towel or a scabby workbench and I thought that my tweed jacket was very "dry fly"!
"What is the spec of your rod again? I've forgotten."
Greys 7'6", #3/4 with a WF4 GT90 on a Teton small arbour #6 reel.
"looks like a mushroom growing out of your butt.
Always knew you were a fun guy"
Sandy, you're right. Magic mushroom
I've had an offer to make one from wood and that might still happen. I wanted to work some reindeer antler on something other than my next knife to see how it worked. Now I know, I'll get on with the knife. Reindeer is not like Roe, it's harder but still workable with a good file. The centre is harder too and is a bitch to file out.
I might even post pictures of them some time...
