I'll start us off shall I :lol:
Well mines fishing (UK) for coarse or carp not at the sametime I hasten to add. I used to fish for trout as well but my left shoulder is shot so fly casting is out. I still tie the flies tho' for display purposes & sell them as attached, pics No1 & No3.
Over the past few yrs UK has fished for carp using "carp bugs" flies costing about £6.00 (a few dollars) for a card of 4/5 some exampes are in pic No2. If I tied them each one would take maybe 5 mins, cost around 10pence, (a few cents maybe) not a lot a.
So over to you plse. . . . . .

Scuba, banjo, and shooting.
Banjo now that sounds interesting, you good? What type of shooting? The only type I have done when I was about 8 - 10 was 12 bore, clay pigeon. In the RAF eveything from .22 up to 76mm, yes 76mm.

LGB. I got my first starter set in 1988 and at one time I had over 100 feet of track. Now its only seasonal around the tree and across the top of the kitchen cabinets.

I had three of them at one time. Gradually sold them off over the years. I never made the switch to all digital control as it would have cost thousands. Now, just a C&S freight train and an Aristo Christmas Freight Train with a FA-1. I also have two streetcars, a PCC from Aristo and a one from Bachman that is Christmas. I used to have the Union Pacific Streamline Set from Aristo and the Heavyweight Passenger Set with a Pacific in the Pennsylvania colors.

Being raised in the mountains and mining towns of the west naturally my hobbies started with fishing & hunting - of coarse you can't do either without some hiking too - Swimming was always in cold streams and lakes but in '85 I got my feet wet in the Caribbean near Cancun, MX and got hooked on snorkeling the reef there.over the next 20 yrs I spent many days out there drifting with the fish whenever I could. I had always like taking photos but never had a decent camera - in '92 I got my first SLR and most of my hobbies take second the photography now.
