Been fishing since i was 9yo, with the fly rod for trout and grayling since 10yo, so its worrying to look back and realise that i've fished for almost 34yrs.

Only started throwing a fly for salmon 4 years ago, the trouble for me is trying to find time to get out there and make improvement, but i agree its addictive.
