Mickyj 3,205 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Ok guys this may just be for a week or two(fingers crossed and I'm back catching and posting soon) but I am just having an injury break.Those that know me know I fish every weekend Public holiday or when on AL etc etc.But last Saturday's quick flick at West lakes ended in me leaving the water and having knee pain (nothing new for me I know)at the back of my knee.Since then I havent slept well walking is getting slower sitting is hell and my knee cap started moving on its own .So a quick trip to the quack this morning and he thinks I have damaged my cartlidge.This could all be over by next weekend or I could be out long term(or when it goes I'll be out flicking a fly again).Fingers crossed that rest fixes it quick .CheersMick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckTseeker 425 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 bummer Mickyj, hope it heals quick and you can get back out fly casting again, i remember when the fly fishing bug got me, it was out any time i could and if i wasn't fishing i was tying ;D will be a tough couple of weeks .hissy.well at that i guess your fly box will be full after this forced break though ;)cheers chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
