Anniversary Carp
I took my dads Mk IV that he ordered and bought new in 1960 out last night to remember him by, on the anniversary of his passing 17 years ago. It was a beautiful hazy warm evening and I had one bite that produced this modest but very welcome carp.
Cheers dad, that one's for you.

If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
