Me n Dad

Chances to get out have been limited, mainly down to the little ones. So my only spare time was spent on a sunny afternoon with my Dad. We arrived at an easy to access fishery. Not either of our number one choices but with my Dad not wanting to walk to far and needing decent ground it’s perfect. On arrival after a quick chat to a few already fishing, it seemed the going was hard, but my Dads owed a few favours off the fishing Gods. After a couple of trips to the car for the tackle we set up and it wasn’t long before we had some action. In fact it turned well worth the extra effort. It’s my preferred option to throw the rod in the car and get to some running water. I take the ability to walk, climb, crawl and fall into some fishy spots much to easy at times, and when a lot of these times was spent doing so with the “owd fella” walking to the car for his tackle is little to ask for someone who as given me so much over the years. So with these thoughts echoing around my head we got down to catching some fish. First thing getting him comfortable, not easy!! The riggers of years of hard labour on the building sights of the North West leaving it’s toll. The moment the float dipped for the first time , the hook struck and his rod tip arched into a beautiful Golden Orfe, I knew it was worth it. For those minutes as the fish dove and swirled he was a kid again no pain just the joy of what fishing is. The smile on his face was more than any reward I could ever receive. We went on to catch nearly every cast just a Dad and his little lad fishing again.
