Grafham for The Midlands Final of the Anglian.
My fellow recruitment consultants,
We, the intrepid and fearless members of the Kent and Sussex fly fishering regiment of the 1st Ale Drinkers and Morris Dancers; once again are venturing forth into the wastelands of Cambridge shire to man an unarmed assault on the unwashed heathen that are the midlands teams. They of course, with their superior numbers and local knowledge, ungainly gait and strange chinless faces and unfeasibly long blob pulling arms, will on paper hold a considerable advantage over us simple southern folk (aka. my team mates. I of course being born in Birmingham where I stayed until I was able to crawl, my parents finding me in Newcastle Upon Keegan some 2 years later, am of course highly inteligunt and fiendishly skilled in all things human).
We are initiating our assault at Grapham on Thursday the 24th July with Keith Nicholson and Jeff Latter (Jeff's the Blastar'd son of Tony Slattery if you didn't know). I'll be having a pleasurish day there on Friday, taking a client out (first time in 20 years I've found a client who fishes..happy days!!!) and a full team assault on Saturday and Sunday for the match on Monday.
As per usual, any hints, tips, clues, kind words of abuse or encouragement will be gratefully received. Blobs are working well apparently. What is a blob? What colour should I use? Can I use Berkley powerbait flavour spray like I does on my nymphs?
On a serious note...if you're at Grapham this weekend, what did you catch on, where, what time, what line, how deep, what leader, how many flies, what position on the cast, where you on the engine or bow, what was the weather doing, did you try dry flies, did you have a look in savages, did you have a **** before or after fishing and did you see a fit blonde called Angela and did she ask after me. Give John Meesey a kiss and tell him Jeff Slattery finds him very attractive.
