| Besides fencing, I like cooking, drawing, writing,
and making cool stuff out of duct tape.

BTW: got the strangest thing yesterday - a burbot, during daytime, in shallow water, and in spring! How strange is that? 
Have a nice time!

Peter,
I have never caught a burbot....they are common in areas to the north of me.....but nothing local.
I fish mostly for trout, and mostly rainbow and browns....occasional brook trout. They do bite, but are damn selective about what they bite at.
I have fished using all kinds of methods, but I do believe catching trout on flies you have made yourself is truly a great pleasure.
Regards,
Feltan | |

| A new hobby of mine has been winemaking. Started with kits, and have just begun growing grapes in a backyard 'vineyard'. Looking forward to the first time I can actually use the grapes that will hopefully grow in my yard rather than making wine from a concentrated kit. Oh, and when not fencing, or yardwork, helping raise my 3 kids

| I'm a musician so that sort of thing tends to take up most of my time when I'm not at fencing.
