I said there'd be no jokes about this.



Looks like I "spoke" to soon!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Landing nets made from cycle wheels were common at one time, I even made one myself. The net was home made, this was before the time of knotless mesh and were easy to make. Large nets were not available and the only answer was to make your own. The same was true of a lot of tackle and it was great fun making your own even though it was born out of necessity.

Looks ideal for resting tyred fish in before returning. :Hide:

Let's get the the hub of the matter ... I think we should applaud the ingenuity and Raleigh round him !
