The nearest I have got was watching them swiping my flies on a tiny alpine stream in the Austrian Tyrol when I was a teenager. I will bring one to hand one day!<br /><br />Take care and stay safe <br /><br />Alistair Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389466523719234443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-71511028102888526952022-01-20T19:47:44.353-05:002022-01-20T19:47:44.353-05:00A beautiful fish and a story well told!
