Other Hobbies?
Mike Barrio:
I guess the last 12 months have seen all of us have a bit of a stop and a rethink .....
I've certainly noticed an increase in folk either taking up fishing, or returning to fishing :z16
But what about us fishers, what other hobbies have you been up to?
I have discovered that there is more to gardening than just cutting the grass *smiley-funny* and I'm really enjoying it.
I've also dug out a couple of wee pond yachts, like I played with as a youngster. I'm busy giving them a refurb and looking forward to 'floating my boat' >)

Mike,
That is a great project, reminds me of the repair shop, I really do love that program.
As for Lockdown, a major positive for me has been the re-introduction to the pastime of fishing, I fit firmly into that category and very thankful for it. It has been great to connect with new and old friends and learn all about the new trends in fishing gear, alot has changed in 8 years. I discovered glass rods! :z14
My other hobby, (obsession) prior to lockdown was, (maybe still is, yet undecided)....competitive clay shooting, shooting a discipline the call FITASC, worth a google, anyway it is known as the ultimate shooting challenge and has international classification. I made A class last year with an average of over 80%, quite proud of that. But time and money catch up with you quick at that level and something had to give......
I reflected on this during lockdown and very pleased and content with re-discovering fishing, I get so much out of a day by the loch or river, it is a real bliss. Add to that an interest in fly tying once again and I'm made up for hobbies. *smiley-love*
Other interests include vintage dive watches, Clive Cussler novels and the odd cigar or pipe on a nice day!, *smiley-funny*

Mike Barrio:
Hi Steven
Googled the clay shooting, sounds like really competitive stuff *smiley-grin*
Great that you're enjoying your fishing and fly tying again ..... long may it continue >)
I think Iona has just about all the Clive Cussler books, but I haven't read any of them I'm afraid.
Cheers
Mike

Besides the fishing I really enjoy gardening , especially growing my own veg.

due to the bad weather!
