In 2024 I got into fly fishing and caught my first wild brown trout here in the UK. In order to remember and cherish this fish, I contacted Roger Brookes who is an artist who hand carves and paints fish replicas - http://www.rogerbrookes.com/

It is not the biggest fish, in fact its the smallest carving he has ever done but I think its great.

Nice carving! I fished the River Tamar on the Devon/Cornwall border about 20 years ago.
 
An interesting idea. My daughter does beautiful work painting replica fish. I believe she can order small forms and the glass domes are available at hobby shops. I'm thinking she could do something like a snow globe and maybe use some fine sand instead of snow flakes. And maybe a tiny battery powered LED light in the base? Hmmm.

Here's a nightstand lamp we made of my dad's fishing creel.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
