I refer to the last story of John and his early PB ‘hopper success.

On landing his wild brown trout, John and Jan decided to have it for dinner so I proceeded to clean it, only to have a couple of unusual things happen — first when taking the chance to examine the fish’s recent food choices, this frog, above, was one of two just eaten (gulped whole more like).

Not much of a likeness to the BP Grasshopper.

Just goes to show, John’s good presentation over came any hesitation the fish may have had to ‘matching the hatch’!

Secondly when cleaning said fish, along came nosy parker eel.

Jan got this shot of the eel calmly swimming around my legs picking up any offerings from the cleaning process. Seen plenty of eels in the waters over the years, but none as cheeky as this one.
