To knock or not to knock

Yes, in less "enlightened" times, most, if not all of us did this.

I have the photo's to prove it...that oil free white flesh, sure was tasty..

Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods there are still assholes killing red fish.

I'm rather pleased with this photo.

does anyone have a good recipe for salmon eggs, and how long do they keep in the freezer ?

Pangloss - jealousy will get you nowhere.

I voted it as a keeper purely based on an assessment of the fish's condition but would not personally keep a hen fish in any condition at this stage of the season.

The later photo seems to have a bit more colour and would definitely go back if it were me.

A keeper in terms of colour for an autumn fish, but I'd think twice before killing a hen like that.

Nice of you to pop by - I hope you've voted?!

A caviar recipe for you and your "comedian friends"

"Remove the membrane from the eggs, and turn them into a basin. Season with salt and freshly ground white pepper, then with a little onion chopped almost to a pulp, some lemon juice and brandy if you have it to spare These seasonings should be added to taste.
Serve the eggs with toast and butter, or rye bread. You can give them the full caviare treatment, and make some Blini from the recipe following. As I have remarked above hard boiled eggs, spring onions
— both chopped — and some good cream cheese which hasn’t been over-processed can all be added if you want to make an hors d’oeuvre."

Envy is indeed a cruel master.... but two days on Boleside in November as a corporate freeby....how could anyone not feel just a bit green?!

By my reckoning this is your fifth double-figure fish for as many days on the river this season! I look forward to a resumption of normal service next year when you'll be back to your old ways of snapping rods on bankside vegetation, leaving expensive reels on the roof of your car before driving off at speed, and generally falling in whilst catching the occasional fish between incidents.

cheers
