Well good evening everyone, i hate these introduce your self things lol.

lets give it a shot and see what happens eh,

my user name well thats straight forward really as its my name lol, the date well this is my date of birth.
i love the outdoors , and enjoy walking. also do a little bit of local wildlife photography just for my self dont sell them etc.
Recently i started my own business , cant forget the date as it was bang at the start of the credit crunch lol ( great time for a new business lol ).
i do custom glass engravings as well as sell general glass wares, the custom work is perfect for all occassions , birthdays , graduation , weddings or just as a treat for your self.
also i keep a cichlid aquarium and have a crazy 4yr old collie.

now the fly fishing , this has always been an interest of mines but i never had the money or the time or guts to attempt it, as all the gear seemed daunting to buy and get the right parts. so being in a possition of having the time and money i decided lets go for it and finally start it up.
now fly fishing is in the family , my di was the ghillie on Loch Leven many moons ago ( back in the days when the loch froze over and they played curling on it ) and then one of my brothers getting into it through my di and helping on the boats etc.
my brother is still mad over his fly fishing so i started with him for advice. and i can safely say he liked the idea of me getting into fly fishing lol. this was obvious as he handed me a box with some of his flies and also gave me 2 spools of main line followed by the words of "" this will save you a bit of cash "".

so thats about it without boring you all to sleep that is, oh yeah i am still in the middle of buying the equipment ( saving up for bits and bobs ) and yet to get out on the water.

tight lines and who knows i may even bump into some of the scottish members if there ever coming to the loch.

welcome to the forum james what size of fish tank do you keep
i have a juwel 180 all tropical the best fish are the 6" silver shark and a pair of breeding plecos 1@ 6-7" give or take the other 8" and they just had young ones I`m thinking of upgrading the tank to the juwel 240 but the thought of all the water chainging and tranfering all the fish puts me of some
you kept fish for long

kept fish for most of my life mate lol, on and off that is.

i just got rid of my marine set up , i had a pico marine tank ( small marine tank ) and didnt have a days problem with it. upgraded to a larger tank and to cut a long long story short i ended up losing £2000 of stock so decided enough is enough time to get rid. and got into cichlids. the tank is just under 3ft but i keep whats classed as dward cichlids, p.saulosi the males turn electric blue with black bars and the females stay an orange / red colour, when the females are holding young * mines are still juvies * they can some times change to look like less dominate males so no other male will attempt to breed with them lol.
but mines are only now starting to decide whos turning to male and whos staying female.

lol would appear my dad was a little bit wrong with my di being the head ghillie , he was the pier manager of the loch.
