Photographs From Your Past
Re: Photographs From Your Past
scooter - I started fishing when I was about 6 or 7. Local brook about 100 yards from the house; catching eels and brown trout. I have done a bit of estuary and sea fishing (my grandfather in Topsham had a boat) but it was mainly coarse fishing, with match fishing being a serious interest for about 10-12 years, until we moved from Devon to Hampshire. I then took up trout fishing. Although I haven’t fished much in the past couple of years I take the view that “once an angler, always an angler”.
@rkovars - Ice climbing; very cool indeed.

Excellent missF.
Neil, We were at Mottisfont near Romsey the other day. You could have tickled the trout there.

If we’re talking about flare… That’s me on the left with my brother, rocking a different kind of flare.
This is the north shore of Long Island, maybe 1975?

Re: Photographs From Your Past
Thanks Neil - a whole lot of circumstances fell into place to get me there. It was definitely the experience of a lifetime. I'm so lucky to have experienced it because my mental health started falling apart soon after i got home. I've lived a charmed life

Re: Photographs From Your Past
Neil, fellow angler here.. grew up by the sea so beach/boat from 7/8yrs then onto course later. Great to see your pic. I used to read the mag/paper religiously and remember the great match anglers around the time Ian Heaps and Ivan Marks I think (probably spelt wrong). Still fish when i can but thats only couple of times a year for last few... one of those things that whenever I go, think I should do this more often. Totally recharges me mentally and physically.nbg wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 8:03 pm scooter - I started fishing when I was about 6 or 7.

Re: Photographs From Your Past
With my identical, two minute older twin brother (Bidenticals?) at our four year old birthday party. I only know this from counting the candles. Must therefore be 1971. I honestly don't know who is who in the picture.
Best regards,
