Water dog and sulky fish

Fishing was slow on the weekend as it has been for sometime. 

It was more interesting to see my friend's dog trying to catch ducks on the water than waiting endlessly for fish to hit my fly.

Broken wading shoes

A piece of shoe lace came off as I was putting my wading shoes last week. I checked the shoes and found out that the metal parts for the shoe lace have been badly corroded.

According to the manufacturer, these metal parts are claimed to be "saltwater resistant", so I have been assuming that these are made of stainless steel.   In stead, they are made of some cheap metal which are not that saltwater resistant.

I always wash my fishing gears including the wading shoes after each fishing sessions, which was also the advice I got from L.L.Bean about their wading shoes, but it looks like it didn't make much difference in the end.

The corrosion is happening on every eyelet.  Very disappointing.

Our house of green

Our school has changed one of its house colours to green.

This gave me a legit work related excuse to ask my wife to buy me a new shirt to match our house colour.  Lucky me.
