Hi everyone,
This afternoon I went for a walk down the banks of the River Wharfe with my wife, kids and dog.
The sun was shining, the river was at it's normal level, there were a few fish rising creating that un-mistakable ring amongst the glistening ripples of the water as it flowed over the submerged rocks. Around us was silence; away from the hustle and bustle of city life the only sounds were that of the river and the occasional bird.
My thoughts were focused on where if it wasn't the closed season and I had my tackle with me I would let a stick float glide down with the water's current and where I could pick out a fish or two.
My deep thinking must have been evident as my missus asked me what I was thinking about and I tried to explain to her and what fishing was all about, not just the catching of fish but the 'getting away from it all' , seeing and being involved with the side of nature that most people don't see and the un-equalled thrill of catching that fish.
What is it all about for you
