I’ll go to vets and get the toxic drops next week :o. I put them on him last year and watched a tick fall off dead in 5 minutes that was on his butt :o! I don’t pet him for a day or two lol.
I can't even get near the dog with the liquid flea and tick stuff, as soon as I crack the lid, she goes running, so have to use the chewables

Ah so there is a fishing thread, i love fishing even more than growing, the uk has quite a limited species compared to across the pond.
Salmon and sea trout are my favourite types of fishing, salmon fishing takes me to some beautiful places and a fresh salmon can be amazing sport.

Sea trout is a night time venture, i absolutely love fishing through the night and seeing the sun coming up, sea trout are also hard fighting fish with savage takes... Awesome!

Brown trout keep me occupied when I there's no salmon or sea trout fishing to be done either through time or lack of fish, during the hot spells in the summer and during the winter I fish for stocked rainbow trout and pike.
All in I'm quite successful, i don't subscribe to its about getting out for me it's about catching fish whatever the target species, however each to there own that's just me.

1st salmon landed this year, I'd fished and fished lost 4 over the space of 10 days I eventually landed this one 4/5 days later again.
Talk about keen I was at the river for 16hrs, conditions were perfect I thought I just needed perseverance but it just didn't happen I've spent a lot 6/8/10 hours this year and it's been my worst season since getting into fishing again.

All the hours of perseverance eventually paid off, not a big fish but with light tackle it's takes some beating, near 10 minutes to get it to the net.

A few of my more precious fish, the 3 taken in the water are from a stream where the bigger fish are clever and very rare.
This one imo has all the beauty, it's an absolute cracker! I'm well proud of it. _20200907_183521.JPG
Below from the Spey the heaviest wild brown trout I've ever caught 5lb 8oz_20200907_183425.JPG
This is also from the small stream, it's a bigger fish I'm proud of that one to but it's not got the stunning looks of the one at the top.
