Many thanks Des for another most informative post.
I'm filing each of your blog entries and keeping them as a valuable resource to use when I'm able to "get back to it".

Cheers Frank, B

Congratulations Doobie -- it's a brilliant video !
The music was great too -- I half expected Tom Cruise (or some other heart throb) to come bounding up the beach with his rod held at the "high port". (Non-military types can ask "Mr Google" for an explanation.)
To benefit the "newbies" like me that frequent this website, it would be really great to learn a bit more from time to time about the gear that the "good guys" are able to use successfully in situations like this one.

The UK Army "37 Pattern" pack -- an oldie, but also a goodie

As a local WL resident I would guess that these bream have a well-trained human who provides them with a regular feed.
Close to my home there are three generations of one family that have been feeding the bream at 4.00 pm each day for most of the 40 years I've lived by the lake.
The fish slowly sidle up to this house frontage, starting from about 2.30 pm each day, and after they've been fed they quickly disperse. They also seem to adjust to changing time zones as daylight saving switches On and Off. 
Woe betide any innocent fisherperson who walks along the path having a flick: the residents are very protective of their "flock".
