Erik, it looks like a fantastic lake; I can see why you keep going back! :thumbup::thumbup:
For me, I think actually catching some fish would be a nice, but unnecessary, bonus.
Do you fish from your kayak, or use your kayak to get to places you fish from the shore, or standing in the water?

I fish from the kayak, I just found this spot a couple weeks ago and like to get out and stretch my legs there.

Thanks for the reply, Erik. My wife occasionally fishes from a kayak, but I never have; I'm not much of a fisherman. I used to really enjoy getting out in the kayak, though. Lately, my back gets really stiff and sore after about an hour in the kayak, so that "limits my range" significantly. Stretching your legs occasionally definitely sounds like a good plan. :thumbup::thumbup:

If anyone here has some spare time on their hands, they might enjoy watching this BBC 'Slow TV' film of Owen Bush making the knife below. Beware it's somewhat hypnotic! :thumbup:

Facebook is an interesting place. Several of us in an older knife group told a member that just because it says Remington on it, it doesn't mean it was made by Remington. He said because it was stamped Remington, it was made by Remington. Tried to explain to him the difference, hopefully he got it. Reminded me that I still don't know a third of what the experts here know, and I am very thankful for their knowledge. Thank you guys and gals for sharing your experience and knowledge here.

Looks like a great show Jack, but when I push play, it says UK only.

Aw, that's a shame Kris, I thought of you when I was watching it. I'll have a look if I can find it on YouTube :thumbup:

I hope that it's possible to watch the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPpmj8RoAyY

If not, here's a much shorter film featuring the same bladesmith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pktevY1NOro

That's because they speak a different kind of English over there!

Excellent, thanks Jack, I am looking forward to watching it later with a good beer.

Edit: Great show Jack, hand forged low layer twist at its finest.
