Well, here we are August already and the summer fast disappearing.  In the blink of an eye it will be autumn and another year will have bitten the dust.  I remember back in the 70's as a 20 year old dreading the thought of the new millennium because by then I would be mid way through my 40's and within arm's reach of my maker.  Now that milestone is nearly ten years behind us and I don't see myself as being much different from the younger me.  Less hair, more wrinkles, but inside my head I don't seem much different.  Mind you, if I knew then all that I know now the trajectory of my life might have been a little different.  If we were supposed to have hind sight we would have been given eyes in the back of our head.  Enough of this.

It's been drier today and with a fair day forecast for tomorrow the river should be almost perfect from the top end down to Helwith Bridge.  I know that one member is planning to try his luck above Selside tomorrow so it will be interesting to see what sort of show our wild brownies put on along that infrequently fished beat.
