Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Pàdruig]

Great to see those three together pal

Another interesting project Have you wet a line in your creek yet Dylan?

Thank you, Jack. I have cast in a few spots but without much success. I did talk with my neighbor a bit and he pointed out some good holes for me to try that are within easy walking distance, now I just have to find the time - there never seems to be enough of it.

Dylan, sounds like a worth while project on your end. If you do a complete rebuild/redesign with you use lumber or the synthetics?

That's a great question. Personally, I would like to go with wood, as I don't mind the upkeep and prefer the natural material. However, the synthetic stuff has certainly come a long way and can look quite nice if installed properly. I suppose we will mull it over a bit more before the time comes - for now, I have to finish my bathroom remodel, complete my bar makeover, and finish my family/rec room.


Good day, Guardians - Happy almost-Friday!

What do you fish for?

What do you fish for?

We have a lot of Smallmouth Bass and Trout in the creek - I've also heard that there are some good spots for Salmon and Steelhead too but the Bass and Trout are more apt to be near my house. I have a lot of fun fishing for Smallmouth but I haven't done it consistently in a few years. Living on a healthy creek should be more motivating though and it absolutely is, it just requires the time that I am usually spending on household projects and the like.

I know just what you mean my friend, and I guess that's true for most of us. Fishing is always something I sometimes muse I will return to in my retirement years, and while I don't have a nearby creek, at least I wouldn't have to travel so far as when I was a lad, when the Sheffield rivers were so polluted, I had to travel 2 counties away to wet a line

Another great pic Dylan, and you have really captured that Damascus blade perfectly, something I always fail at

Good morning Guardians, Friday is here, and the weekend is just round the corner. I hope this means something to some of you, and that you have something planned, so I can enjoy it vicariously. Here, I might be able to have another walk round the local park with a pal, and I might get out to buy some bread tomorrow Have a good day Guardians, and stay safe out there

Sounds like a healthy start to the day Leon Hope that breakfast sorted you out mate I did some running today, chasing the mail van down the street! Then I remembered I'm too old to be running! Hope you have a great weekend

Good evening Jack et. al. cudgee inspired me to take out the lambsfoot this evening, whilst we were discussing cast iron. I need to address adding an easy open notch so I can carry mine more...

Look what I received from Leeds today! In addition to the awesome Gadsden-flag derived patch, Jack included a couple of coins, some sweets, a game of Jacks, a church key, a map of Leeds, a Yorkshire rose key fob, an ebony bagpipe lambsfoot, and perhaps most importantly a lambsfoot pin! I think that means I’m officially a Guardian!

Great to see you hear Willie, hope you're doing OK buddy Sorry to hear you're struggling with your Lamb

I'm glad it made it Christian With the ongoing lockdown here, everyday things like getting hold of packaging, and going to the post office are made difficult, and the first time I went into town with your package, I forgot to put the address sticker on!

Good morning Guardians, I'm hoping to get out for a stroll in a while, and pick up some bread. I wish I could go for a hike, but that's not an option here at the moment I'm afraid Coffee first! Have a great weekend everyone Got my AC in my pocket today

Thanks, Bill, the #44 is really a keeper! Lag 16 is the benchmark, now that Laphroaig 18 is no longer available. It's my all-time fave.
I just can't afford to drink it very often.

I know what you mean - the price of scotch has really gone up over the recent years.

Great shots of your HHB Jack. I think that I will be carrying mine too. All this talk about fishing got me thinking about fly fishing for in the spring. I usually go with my cousins to northern Pennsylvania to fish the limestone creeks there.
