Hi all: It has been a while and I periodically say hi to members here. Since moving to Israel a year and a half ago I have fished very little as fishing here is nothing to be proud of. I had a bit of a fish in france a couple of months ago but apart from a bit of a fish with my son in the park lake nothing else has really happened. My plans include fishing the Sea of Galilee and as luck would have it, I spotted some rising rainbows in the Jordan river (on the Jordanian border) during a rafting trip. It turns out that they ended there at some point from fish farms in the area. Certainly not a local species. Being so close to Europe it is a quick and cheap.flight to Europe so I intend to make.my way there. I now travel alot for work (currently in Japan) so I intend to figure out a way to.take a compact fly rod and 'fish my way around the world'.
Keep safe, healthy and fishing.
