Well done Leon - especially loving the atmospheric black and white action shots :Hat:

I remember years ago reading an article you had written called Where the Carp Have No Names. So glad you seem to have found it look like lovely fish & fishing :Thumb:

Wonderful stuff :Thumb:
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish
