Out and About
Recently through Nethan valley angling association we were invited to Auchlochan care home near Lesmahagow. http://www.mha.org.uk/rv01.aspx The elderly recidents are setting up there own fly fishing club and wanted some help in learning to tie flies and fly fishing.
The evening was superb with nice friendlships made with some great stories from recidents on there experiences and adventures in life from fishing up north to Africa,as well as some other great stories. We even met a lady of 90, that fished Lake of Monteith with The Invicta Ladies fly fishing team, and although I didnt have materials with me to tie an Invicta i left with the promise on our next visit the first fly to tie will be an Invicta, In truth in about an hour I am away to tie half a dozen and post them on
Silver Invicta size 10,didnt have picture of the standard with yellow seals fur body
The group was split in two and one saw simple salmon flies being tied while the other saw basic trout flies with black being the theme, then the groups changed over at the half way point in the evening
As this project makes progression we will be making more visits to help the residents in fly tying and also fishing ,the Kids from our kids project have been invited to come with us
Black pennel (size14)
The chaplin for the home was telling us his Grandfather went to Africa as a missionary and worked in the area where David Livingston died, strange world when you start getting into things with Mid Clydes link to David Livingston memorial centre at Blantyre http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/23,or you can read about David Livingston http://www.victoriafalls-guide.net/david-livingstone.html
