Ways to fish

Fishing in England:

I parked up the van (man that was a tight spot) and wandered over to the river. My usual spot had gone so I had to make do with a rather slippery fishing point. The reeds were very difficult to fish through and the ducks kept trying to nick my maggots.

We left the trailhead at 11:45 in the morning. The trip down was quite uneventful until we crossed Soda Creek, when we ran into a mother bear and two cubs. One of the cubs had climbed an oak tree just as I came over a rise in the trail. Mike had his Ruger .357 out before you could say "oh @&*#!" Unfortunately, the trail went under the tree the cub had climbed, and the area all around had high brush which could easily conceal a whole army of bears. With me blowing my whistle and Mike at the ready, we advanced very slowly on the tree and eventually determined the bears had moved on.
