Once again I am jealous of the outdoors books you’re pick ing up.

Oh and thanks for the heads up on Chris Yates’ (potential) new one – I have a few of his, plus old copies of Waterlog, and he’s a joy to read.

Nice find Chris, I’m an old hand at the perch, still trying to get my head around bass tactics especially stripers. Thanks for sharing.

Alright mate?

I found this post on home-made lures and thought of you.

Smash them. Then pour hot water or even milk over:

Thank you for bringing to light one of History’s great athletes. I have written about his fascinating life – http://flowalking.com/2013/03/who-was-the-michael-jordan-of-walking-and-what-walkers-can-learn-from-him/

By a strange co-incidence here in the UK there was a programme on TV about the Iceman the day before you posted this.

Not sure if the link works outside the UK

Hey, that sounds like a fine idea. You have a deal.

Assuming US authorities don’t veto foodstuffs through the post that is – will check on regs.

Regularly send Tunnocks wafers and Liquorice Allsorts to a family member overseas, so am accustomed to strange yearnings for foodstuffs – but Monster Munch? Really?

Have made the “lure” – it looks like what it is – 2 bits of garbage and a hook – might give it a chuck if I manage to go piking before the 14th. Who knows old Esox might be insulted enough by it’s patheticness to attack it.
