So many great moments in the first movie and so many memorable lines--"Dont p-ss down my back and tell me it's raining!".<br />There's what appears to be the remnants of a rock wall along one of my nearby creeks. Haven't found any definite info about it but it was probably built by some of the hardy Scots settlers that came to my area in the mid-1800's.<br />Lovely piece of stream and beautiful brook trout.<br />I've started using the Davy Knot. I have to agree with Dean F that it is a simple and easy to tie knot, especially on cold days.<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Steve.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349271164490121533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-64783963120929355792020-05-19T20:14:40.527-04:002020-05-19T20:14:40.527-04:00Bill Trussell

My little corner of Yorkshire has a rich heritage in mining alum and ironstone and in some of the out of the way spots you can still see the legacy of these industries. <br /><br />I should be out again this week onto the Leven, not going to far just yet! I might just give your picket pin a try (I am sure I have some squirrel somewhere)!<br /><br />Take care <br /><br />AlistairAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-28320717423932427352020-05-18T10:59:23.913-04:002020-05-18T10:59:23.913-04:00Beautiful water and fish Alan- I'd like to off...Beautiful water and fish Alan- I'd like to offer a big second to Beaverdam's previous reply about the Davy Knot. After a lifetime tying clinch knots I changed to the Davy. It's so simple and quick you will question how it can be strong but I can tell you I landed two 19" rainbows this year in fast water and it held just fine. I tend to change flies often in search of the one that's working that day and I like the speed and ease the Davy knot offers. I also find it easier to tie on cold days when my finger dexterity isn't quite there.
