Follow the Brenig 2001 link and look at the page for Saturday. *There's
picture of Andy with a fine 4.5 lbs Rainbow.


I'd almost forgotten about that one.... sheesh it was a hard and long day
for 2 fish and the worse part is, that's not the worst trip we've had! We've
been several times now and as a yearly event, had good weather, bad weather
and nil catches but we still seem willing to go back for more.



This was on our (URFG) equivalent to your 'claves. It took place in North
Wales on the Brenig Reservoir. *we were crap ff'rs


Hey! I'll have you know I can thrash the water into a foam as good as the
next guy! ;o)

but great 'clavers.


heh... agreed. Do you recall the fishing & camping experience a few years
back? Different venue, but same sort of results. We all brought standard
single or 2 berth tents while Dave had brought his large 8 or 10 berth
family tent and we were all socialising in there one evening. We had a
mosquito coil burning INSIDE and with the doors/flaps closed, drinking beer,
barbeque on the go outside, billions of biting midges, drinking beer and
funny smelling tobacco wafting around with the anti mosquito smoke (did I
mention drinking beer?) Well... we didn't manage to kill ourselves but I
reckon a few of the ol' brain cells may have gone! ;o)


This side of the pond, we have found out that killing off those brain
cells makes you smarter:
Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the
slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This
natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general
speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular
killing of the weakest members.

“In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills
brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first.

“In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain
cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s
why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

Yes Andy I remember it well. What a fabulous " conference" tent Dave
brought! Our American friends don't rough it as we did - and I envy
them their cabin comforts. Our little one man tents would have been far
less sociable - Dave's 6 berth tent /made/.the week end.

Spare ribs black and burnt never tasted better.

Well there's a personage I haven't heard much of lately. It's not
like PJ & I were ever close friends, or even distant acquaintances
beyond his appreciation for my Wild Turkey Rare Breed a long while
back; but it's been a while since a good PJ tale.

Joe F.


Remember the one at Wally's Spring Fling where PJ walked several miles
into a remote mountain stream with a rod borrowed from the Boy Lawyer?

Upon arriving at the stream, PJ took one cast and the rod folded like
it had a hinge in the butt section. In fact it *did* have a hinge in
the butt section as demonstrated by PJ trying to cast off of the rear
porch at Clave Central. Never saw a rod break like that.
