Hi all, (posted through google)

Still no available news server from my ISP, it stopped working about
three months ago and never came back online again. No warning
whatsoever from the ISP.
Anyway, I get to read the occasional TR on ROFF but have noticed that
things are slowing down.

Here sunrise is at 9.30 am and sunset at 1.30 pm and still two
weeks until it starts to get brighter again. We will loose about
another hour of daylight in the two weeks to come. About minus 15
degrees Celsius (5 degrees Farenheit) but not much snow.

Long since I could do any fishing but hopefully everything turns out
in a way that I can go to Penns next year too, new job and all.

Done a lot of hunting this autumn (mostly Capercaillie, Black grouse
and Hazelhen) which helps keeping the cabin fever away. Even my kids
have started to complain that it's always dark outside, and there I
was thinking that they hadn't noticed from all the computer gaming
that they are up to.

So, anyone still fishing? Or have you had to give up on this season?

Yup, got out 8 or 9 times over the last few weeks, caught some steelies
on swung spey flies. No snow yet except for one sprinkle that didn't
last 24 hrs. Lots of rain so rivers are up and blown but heavy tips
and big, weighted flies can cut through the murk and hoist up the odd
fish. May get out again this Sunday if Suzie doesn't collar me for
honeydos.
Sounds like you've been stocking up on the tying materials.
