Gawn Fishin (Fly fishing in Shropshire)

A few weeks ago I finally acheived the unthinkable - I actually caught a trout. Whats even better is that JR Hartley completely blanked! Chuntering all the way home that it was the worst day fishing he had ever had, I mused to myself how it had been my best day ever.

I shall not bore you with the details, suffice it to say I should have bagged up twice over if it were not for those canny trout slipping the hook.

Wifey and I scoffed the blighter that night. As I savoured each mouthful I imaginged Father in Law at the dining table, being presented with nothing more palatable than what was to be the stuffing (mushrooms) on toast. You just have to laugh
