I am not an insomniac but I am writing this at 3am. Lousy night, picked up a bug here in Cornwall and stomach cramps are making sleep impossible. So for future reference I thought I would jot down a few observations from yesterdays mini-session on the River Fowey..
These are:
1) it is possible to be outwitted by a creature with a brain no larger than a pea
2) pound for pound, the pursuit of wild brown trout with a fly rod is probably slightly more expensive than say owning a race horse or perhaps taking up motor racing as a hobby ... just saying
3) it's not always a good idea to unhook a fish with one hand while holding an iphone in the other
4) if you snatch your iphone back from the river quick enough no water actually gets in and it will still apparently function normally afterwards
5) the downside of 4) is that you will most likely drop and lose your fish in the ensuing confusion - on balance it's probably better to keep a working phone than a fish as after all you can't telephone the breakdown services with a fish when you discover that your car wont start after the long walk back
Apologies if my observations seem a little sardonic, it's probably just my mood..
