Went out fishing on saturday with my brother. My camera batteries died and my breathable waders leaked. I was freezing all day but i had four pike to a yellow a black pike bunny and my brother managed to get a picture of my first. Not the best of pictures

Well done Matt.They recommend that you use Neoprene waders for tubing.

and I may be wrong but don't see any signs of a life jacket/collar

Thats a good photo ! I prefer the spontanious "in action " photos to tthe standing posing 1s !

iv never tried pike fishing with the fly looks fun on the float tube ! but definatley looks cold !

Nice one Matt. Tubing is absolutely brilliant isn't it?

You'll definately need to get yourself a pair of neoprenes though! Brrrr!

Yea dougie you bet! Im going out this weekend again for some bigger ones

Have you got any tips for fishing deep water? Say around 30-40ft I sometimes get stuck for choice, not know what fly will work best in the depths. Im still learning but i get a sore arm stripping the line real fast to make the flies work everytime, you know what i mean.
