In the river here

Nearby Rjukan?

 

I wonder if Sparky is wearing rubber boots. They said it was raining heavily, and they expected more ...

 

T06 Do you guys night fish on the rivers? I'm from FL and bleed saltwater. So I don't know that much about fresh/river fishing. I'd like to do it but its hard to take seriously with such small fish. I guess if I could get a sturgeon it would be big, but I'm used to Kings, Tarpon, Cobia, etc.... Although your fish is quite large it could almost pass for a saltwater fish. I just hate seeing these grown men with 10 inch trout holding it up like its jaws. I would be proud to catch what you got though.

 

I prefer my fish dead as well. Fairly common I'm sure.

I don't know. There is nothing like fresh right out of the stream. Bears do it.

 

Bears do it.

As you say Sp. You can see one in action here www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVS1UfCfxlU

 

Don't you guys call them Wellington boots?

Yep, quite wet here. Thing is we had a damp winter last year. Then a wet spring. Then a wet summer, followed by a very wet autumn. Any rain which falls is fallen onto sodden ground.

We used to have one small pond in our garden - there are two now!

St Ives is built right next to a flood plain - by sheer chance the town sits on gravel, as opposed to clay, so we often miss floods. It does get pretty close at times, though.
