We are blessed to live in such a beautiful country, its a shame most of the 70 million of us don't get to experience it, as an angler I consider myself as one of the lucky ones. I always get asked why I love fishing so much and unless one experiences it in its entirety it is difficult to explain. Just being there sometimes is enough, whether it's in somewhat urban locations or deep in the English countryside.

Absolutely fantastic! The things we’re lucky enough to see - that most people miss in a lifetime..!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, I am always banging the drum about how rewarding angling is and what you can experience when out, it’s a totally different world out there to one most see and know. Shame, as it’s not the one I see and experience.
DeleteGreat for the mind and mental well being. Some great "trophy" shots there!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly helps me at times! As for the trophy shots, I do go looking for them sometimes, other times they find me.
DeleteSome beautiful images James. We are blessed with a tremendous backdrop to our pass time. I am surprised by the number of people that have never even seen a kingfisher yet alone an avocet or a sneering fox.
ReplyDeleteIt does astonish me when people say that too, I honestly believe people need to make more of an effort, ignore the cities and towns, this country has so much more to offer. I get to enjoy it almost on a weekly basis and I'm thankful for that.
DeleteCracking James !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mick :)
DeleteThanks a lot fishing snatch.com
