Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish
Re: The Centenarian Angler
I found it quite poignant too, especially at the mention of the last ever fishing trip, even a little disturbing - intimations of mortality and all that. What I found more curious than usual is the absence of sound apart from some overlaid bird song, and JH's narrative of course. Made the whole thing seem distant and slightly odd.

Well if we have any members on here who reach 100 I think it would be rather fine for a group of us to take him out for the day to his favourite place and then we can learn how it should be done.

We do have May Lang (Berth-Jones) as a member who is well into her 90s and even fished Redmire a few years ago.PershoreHarrier wrote:Well if we have any members on here who reach 100 I think it would be rather fine for a group of us to take him out for the day to his favourite place and then we can learn how it should be done.
