The best flies for fly fishing

Advantages: The knowledge of the fly
Disadvantages: Can get caught in weeds

...I am a fly fisher. I enjoy it much more than coarse fishing which is featured on the site. It takes time in pleasure my hobby and I have devoted many years to it ever since I was 7, I was so eager to learn. Fly fishing I feel is a great hobby and people should take it up. Flies are crucially to the sport, seeing that is what the fish is attracted to and how you catch it. *The fly first of all must be suited to the fish that you are wishing to catch (e.g. a rainbow trout is more partial to the brown and green flies, the 'pheasant tails' and 'dampshels nypmh'). *The type of water that you are fishing in (e.g. the clear waters of a well kept lake, the best colours would be white with black, white or yellow, the best fly for clear water would be the buzzer).On the other hand, the lakes that I am most fond of are the Lochs...

Review of Fly fishing tackle

Fly fishing and drinking in Montana

Advantages: Gentle story, well-filmed
Disadvantages: Goes on for too long

...Norman and Paul Maclean grow up in the beautiful Montana countryside, close to the river in which they learn to fly-fish. Their father is the local minister and brings them up strictly; however, whereas Norman conforms and goes into academia, Paul rebels, drinks and womanizes and gets a job as a fishing reporter. Then Norman falls in love with the beautiful Jessie. All seems to be going well, for Norman, but Paul is falling into more and more debt from gambling and it seems that he will never be able to find a way out. Is it because he feels he is in his brother's shadow? Will he ever be able to set himself on the straight and narrow? Norman is played by Craig Sheffer, an actor I don't think I have seen in any other film, although it's clear from his filmography that he has done plenty of television work in the UK. As Norman, he gives...

Review of A River Runs Through It (DVD)

A corally fish.

Advantages: cute, soft
Disadvantages: retired

...From an early age, my friends and I were addicted to collecting TY beanies. For those of you who do not know (where have you been?), TY Beanies are a collection of little teddies in all forms of animals and teddy bears. Once you start a collection they are quite addictive. You find you are always looking for new ones and cannot stop buying them - havoc for your wallet, heaven for your collection! One of the Beanies is a fish, who goes by the name of Coral. Its such a beautiful name - I was obsessed with sea coral as a child so this is a delightful treat for me. Coral is very attractive to look at too. She is coated in a delightful mix of rainbow colours: blues, yellows, pinks. She reminds me of the Rainbow Fish book every child will have read at some point, something else we can relate to with this fish. She is not as pluffed up as...

Review of Ty Coral the Fish Beanie Buddy

Fab fish fingers!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I love fish fingers, but I'm pretty fussy about what I eat, and whilst with many products I'm happy to just go with the cheapest brand available, fish fingers for me are always Birdseye. Most cheap fish fingers tend to be made from the mysterious 'Minced White Fish' which has the texture of mashed up cardboard and tastes like licking a sweaty armpit. You're probably thinking I'm exaggerating there, after all, nobody makes a habit of licking armpits . Well, I did once while a little under the influence - and it was much nicer than a cheap fish finger! Okay, so now we know why I fixate on Birdseye - I know when the pack tells me it's cod fish fingers, its nothing but cod . However, recently I saw they were now offering a salmon version - and I figured I should definitely try them, since they were on offer at a pound a pack . Like...

Review of Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers

Fish Fingers

Advantages: nutrtitious, tasty, versatile
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...I do not usually buy fish fingers but wanted to get some for my son to try so I purchased a pack of Bird s Eye Omega 3. I paid £1.69 for the box which contains 10 fish fingers made with 100% fish fillet (Alaska Pollock). I choose these particular ones as I wanted to give Jake the best quality I could buy in a supermarket. The Fish Fingers are really easy to cook, under the grill or in an oven for 12 ? 15 minutes, turning occasionally. The first time I tried them with Jake, I just cooked him one and four for me. While I was waiting for his fish finger to cool I made myself a fish finger buttie. It did not take long after biting into the fish finger to figure out that the fingers are not actually made from a whole fish fillet, but rather from chopped up fillet shaped into fingers. This was actually exactly what I expected so I...

Review of Birds Eye Fish Fingers

Fabulous Fish

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I love fish fingers - and must confess to being somewhat fussy about them. Whereas with many other items, I'm happy to buy the shops own economy version - fish fingers for me HAVE to be Birdseye. This is mainly because many economy brands are made from the mysterious 'Minced White Fish', which tastes pretty disgusting, and leaves me concerned that I don't know exactly what's in the product. Birdseye have been advertising a lot lately- and it's all positive - food frozen within the hour, no additives, preservatives, colorings or e-numbers- which means I can be guaranteed that I, and more importantly my daughter, are eating good quality food. Birdseye fish fingers are made with 100 percent cod fillet - none of this random minced white fish business, and they come with two coating options - battered, or crumbed. While the crumbed...

Review of Birds Eye Fish Fingers

Game fish safari

Advantages: A great day out, very cheap compared to other destinations, huge fish
Disadvantages: You may not catch anything, it's a long day

...rainforests in the distance, the twin peaks of St Lucia in full view, the crystal-clear waters rocking the boat, the occasional shoal of flying fish breaking the surface and the sea gulls following the boat waiting for scrap offerings the scenery was gorgeous. However, this had been the same for hours, with no changes, and it was starting to get a bit boring. Just as I was admiring a sea turtle it was then what we had come for happened. The reels started spinning as the line was being taken off at a rate of knots. The whirring sound of the spool was so loud it drowned everything out. I was pushed in the fighting chair, given a butt pad handed the rod and told to "hold on". Whatever had taken the lure was big, much bigger than I had ever caught before and there was no way this was going to come in without a scrap. As the head came out...

Review of Crystal Blue Sports Big Game Fishing, St. Vincent

  The Fish goes down a treat

Advantages: Hilarious, great cast, original, fantastic script
Disadvantages: The sequel

...I have avoided reviewing the product of the week for two reasons: Firstly, I never felt I really had any invested interest in the products that were available each week and secondly, I found it a bit tedious (Like many I imagine) to continue to read review about the same thing over and over again while still remaining unbiased and I felt I couldn?t expect anyone else to do so with any more gusto then I could muster up. Imagine my surprise then, when I discover, this week?s product is the ultimate comedy classic A Fish Called Wanda ? a film that I have seen many, many times and can never run out of things to say about it. So for all you poor Wanda virgins, enjoy just a tiny glimpse into the film classic that is ?A Fish Called Wanda?. Director: Charles Crichton Writers: John Cleese and Charles Crichton Actors: John Cleese, Kevin...

Review of A Fish Called Wanda (DVD)

Fishing For Cards!

Advantages: Easy for beginners, cheap to play, available on Yahoo games for fun
Disadvantages: Dont ever let a kid beat you... ever!!!!!

...So this is about the game Go Fish, a simple card game that will really leave you wondering how it became so popular. But then, with the exception of poker, most card games are only good because even a kid can play them. You get a ten minute prep on the rules with a few practice hands and you're an expert! (as I said, with the exception of poker!). But as my trial of this game on Yahoo proved to me, this is not a game to take lightly! SO WHAT IS GO FISH? Well, its a simple card game involving several players. You can theoretically play it with two people but it is rather predictable (you will see what I mean in a minute). The best is with 4-6 players. Anything more than that and the cards start to get a little thin. THE RULES: You deal the cards out so that each person has 7 starting cards. You can lower this if you...

Review of Go Fish

I believe I'm a fly...

Advantages: Very gruesome and imaginative special effects
Disadvantages: It's not very scary

...Those of a younger age may remember the Goosebumps book: Why I'm Afraid Of Bees, which told of a boy who gets stuck in the body of a bee after an experiment goes wrong. If, like me, you thought that was scary, you should meet its bigger, nastier brother: David Cronenberg's 1986 Sci-Fi / Horror classic, The Fly. Jeff Goldblum plays the scientist Seth Brundle, who, along with a pretty funky 80s hairdo, has a teleport machine which could render conventional transport a thing of the past. At a science party (now there's an oxymoron for you) he meets Veronica Quaife, a pretty journalist played by Geena Davis (oh no - her from CutThroat Island!). He takes her back to his laboratory / apartment to show her his huge? telepod, and they come to an agreement whereby Veronica will make a book about his life's work. And they have sex...
