The bit your missing jim lad is it's about balanced tackle. Catching dace on 5lb line isn't much fun but catching em on a light rod with fine hooklengths is great fun. A 6oz dace on a 1lb hooklength is like you playing a 10lb carp on 10lb line. Feeding and presentation to keep bites coming, and there's nothing better than fishing the float, active fishing doing something all the time not just sat around growing a beard I'd take a 1lb dace over a 20lb carp every time

I love trout fishing. Walk down to a Yorkshire Dales river with the sound of Curlew overhead a couple of boxes of flies in your pockets a rod and landing net hanging on your back. This is extremely wonderful countryside - you are part of it - when people take photos of you fly fishing in the river you are a vital part of the landscape that they search for as an escape from city life. You stalk those wild fish that are sipping at flies emerging from under an overhanging willow on the far bank or even terrestrials dropping out of the branches of the same trees. You put on a dry you have tied yourself and watch it trip down under the far bank willows as you stand mid-river in a world far away from any worry that you had before you put your boots into the river. A trout rises to your fly - your heart skips a beat - but it drops down again. You cover the fish again and surprisingly it comes up and snaffles the concoction you assembled on the vice the night before while your wife was watching whatever it is she seems to like watching. The fish takes you all around the pool and feels like a monster on your 8ft 3 wt rod. It pulls the scales down to the 3lb mark and you look up and see the curlews still calling above and you feel everything is right in the world.

Winner gets a bank stick to camera adaptor (screws into your bankstick and into the bottom of your camera - unless its not a standard camera thread !! ) Thanks Dave ... my coveted piece of precision engineering arrived in yesterday's post and seems to do the job nicely ... hope its captures will be posted often on here next season!

30plus Yorkshire fish got to be as good as 10lb of dace even if I would rather be fishing the float on a river. circa 1995 Eddie.
