Went back to Rutland again last Friday [4th] but the trout gods had decreed that the trout would move out of casting range? I did manage to get a few in the end [4 netted and released, 3 lost at the net] so not so bad after all. Visited Rutland yet again on Saturday from midday to 5pm, caught and released just 1 fish and only had 1 other pull. Somebody in the past used to call me Jonah because the fish always disappeared when I turned up. It seems it's happening again.
Today [9th May] I've been sorting through some tackle that belonged to a dear friend who died nearly 3 years ago. Not a comfortable job, but his widow asked for my help. The classic find was his Barbour jacket that was pretty badly torn and worn. The zip wouldn't undo all the way down so he used to get into it by stepping into it and pulling it up. Priceless.
