Welcome to Issue 59

I've written a  few words about a recent road trip with good friends in this issue. I've been lucky enough to fish with Jim and Duncan a lot and thoroughly enjoy my time with them. The thing I most like is that we all share in each others' succesess and help each other when everything doesn't go to plan.

I've fished with people who are competitive and I've felt their stares burning into the back of my head when I slide a fish over the net. I get that people judge their day by the amount of fish they catch or the size of them and that is fine but chosing a fishing buddy is a task that I don't take lightly.

Most of the fishing I do with friends is done on a shared rod basis and we hand the rod over if one of us catches a fish or if the fishing is slow we fish for what is a polite amount of time before letting the other have a go.

I've been fishing with a new buddy Perry recently. I think we've hit on a dream set up. He's a left hander who compliments my right handed casting perfectly and so I can say "that's a nice pool for a lefty" and Perry will grab the rod. It's been working really well and we've been fishing a fair bit together recently.

I have had a few messages about the bumper sticker that is on the ESF Facebook site asking if I'll produce some. I'm pleased to say that I have at long last got round to it and have them for sale in the Good Stuff section. All profits from them will go to the Wild Trout Trust.

So, here is issue 59 I hope you enjoy it.

Many thanks to Sandy Nelson for the cover shot, nice trout!

Good fishing
