  1. Think I would encourage any young man/woman or couple to try and make a life in New Zealand. I know a young man well he was young when he moved out there he must be close to fifty now, still young in my eyes. He was a tree surgeon (wood butcher) but he has done well. Saw him a while back when he was over here, was telling me how good the fishing and hunting was and life in general, Rivers are clean good climate. Europe and the West is f****d imo. Migrants, wars law and order starting to break down, the government out to take what you have earned away from you. All ways thought New Zealand

    Gold rush.

    Been known to actually jump in a boat Kev. There was a chap we called Walkie who own one of the licensed boat it Totnes and his boat was mooed up just above Totnes old bridge. He would never believe a salmon would jump in a boat, well one day a chap came it the pub and said just watched a Salmon jump in your boat from the bridge. He thought he was pulling his leg. In the end he went down and checked the boat sure enough the fish was in the boat. Cheers Arry

    Gold rush.

    I was on a crew on the Dart Kev. All gone now they took all the license away must have been about twenty boats when I was a boy crew. Slowly dwindled, first the Fly fishermen bought the licence then they stopped renewing them. In the end two or three boats wasn't worth doing no salmon. River is full of seals and no fish now, they used to take a few out you can imagine the outcry now if you even talk of a cull. Fond mémoires of sitting on the fore shore waiting for a salmon to jump or on a calm day see one as we called it volling (not sure of the spelling). Volling was a salmon traveling

  16. Good contender I also think. I think I discounted it as in some pictures it has a hairy cap. But now think you could be right mate. Weeping Widow WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM Unlike the name suggests the Weeping Widow is not a poisonous mushroom but has a bitter taste making it rather inedible. The ‘weeping’ seems to refer to the...

  17. I'll be honest I don't really know. Could be "Inky mushroom" poisonous or "Scaly wood mushroom" which I'm not familiar with. I defonatly would not be eating it. There is thousands of fungi and I now a few but hard from a photo. I keep saying I'm no expert. I've just taught myself the good ones to eat. If you have an iPhone Seek by inature is a good app for lot of plant, bugs and mushrooms but would not trust it with my life. Cheers Arry
