No tie and you haven't even tucked your shirt in

Time has moved and the world has spun a few times since that photo, I'm a reformed man I tells ya!!

I wasn't in that photo ... but a rod I'd resurrected was ! ;-)

I may not always wear a tie when I am out fishing alone ... but whenever I dangle a line on a TFF outing ... or with a fellow TFF member ... I try to make it a 'special event' and dress appropriately as a mark respect for the fellowship I've encountered in this Forum (though I have been known to wear similar outfits shopping at the local supermarket ... and have even been complimented on my Deer Stalker when in the checkout queue !!!).

The tie I have worn and shall wear is a woven Northumbrian Tartan ... reflecting my heritage ... and is the tie I wore when I wed Mrs. AC.

Tie worn for…respect for the quarry….? Maybe salmon fishing by the landed gentry in the 50's. Seeing the photo of ties and Crabtree nets held high (et al) I feel is turning the gentle persuit of coarse fishing as I knew it decades ago into a pastiche of itself, an odd sort of dress up re-enactment, which makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable and this forum less appealing, even with a hint of tongue in cheek.

It's a gentelmanly branch of the sport. Where secrets are non existent, where its customary to offer the best swim to your companion, where tea and cake are more important than the pursuit of fish. Make of it what you wish, no sleep will be lost, sir.
