....for giving us something excellent to read in this month's FF&FT! A quality article from a quality lad. Let's hope there are a few more where that came from!

Nice one Gareth!! But I didn't know the Magazine was out! Should have been the 16th, of July, is it in W H SMITHS yet?

Here's the article in full from the FF&FT web site -



Bit small eh Gareth!

Congrats.

Matt/guys, my biggest thanks for this! I'm yet to see the fully printed article as I don't subscribe, however I'm looking forward to seeing it this Friday.

I wrote the article back in January and, even seven months later, there's a few things I feel I should've included. Still, first attempt, and I'm very happy it's been considered good enough to be published

Thanks for your support guys, it really does mean a lot

On looking through it, in addition to the very good piece by Gareth, on page 16 there is a photo of a gentleman fishing in Scotland who bears a remarkable resemblance to 3lb Grayling - can anyone confirm or deny?

There is a blackbird on every thorn and a cock chaffinch, a twink as they call him there, on every bush...... It moved me profoundly. I had been spared to see another spring, and I thank God for it.”

I can confirm it is Jim, sewinbasher. He mentioned it on another thread.

Must look for it - what was the article about ?

Hi Spider,

It's an introductory guide to fishing small streams. Hope you like it

Couldn't agree more: exactly the sort of well-written, progressive material that FF&FT should be publishing. More please!
