Having just got BBC4 I was interested to watch a programme about making the instruments for an orchestra from scrap.
Tackle has become so sofisticated it would be interesting to do the same with a fly fishing set up.
With fishing without a reel coming into vougue it is only a stick, string and fly!
Any takers?

Peter Ross is your man, sorry miss- read the title he is making scrap from tackle.

I've often wondered if you could make a rod out of the fiberglass rods that electricians use to pull cables with. The only problem is they are very flexible but I reckon with a bit of reinforcement you could get a nice flexible rod from one of them.

My Gramps had one of these and he used to kid us on that it was an antique fly rod, I believe he used it as a rod, and caught fish when other food was in short supply ...

That's very good Malcolm, I like that.
