Well I haven't fished this weekend because we were all at a family wedding yesterday which was
at the Marquis of Granby Hotel, in the Hope Valley it was a great occasion very enjoyable day and evening.
The main reason for this blog is to let you know about my Aerial Trotting reel which I purchased
on Ebay some weeks ago which needed renovating I scanned the Internet and found Steve Boncey who lives in Crowthorne, Berkshire. who is a retired engineer who renovates old reels to a very high standard so I dropped it off with him some weeks ago and last week it arrived by registered post and I could not believe the standard of it- it was like a new reel- fantastic job.
Steve can be contacted via his website vintagefishingtackle.net
So this afternoon I called into Peter Arfield's shop in Bakewell and he put on some backing and then 100 yards of 3lb line so I now have a reel ready for this winter on a frosty winter day trotting for Grayling.
