    -One fly-tying expert believes tasting his flies helps him understand the feeding behavior of the trout
    		 
    -On a day of excellent casting, no fish were biting, but suddenly a form rose out of the water in front of Bruce; his catch was of the human variety
    		 
    -Bruce once showed his catch to a Fish and Wildlife Officer, not realizing he was one fish over the limit, and he earned himself a ticket you’d think would go to someone hiding a whole trunk full of fish.

    Thousands of people in Britain surf, few of them have surfed all the way round.
    
    Living in an old, unheated campervan for fourteen months, including the coldest winter for thirty years, Jonathan Bennett travelled clockwise all the way round Britain, surfing every beach he could catch a wave. From the Isle of Harris to the Lizard Peninsula, from Orkney to Anglesey, from Sandwood Bay to Sussex, he shared the waves with seals, sewage and fellow surfers, meeting friendly and not-so-friendly locals, often alone and miles from civilisation. Without going near a campsite, he slept with the sound of the sea whispering in his ears, and woke each day ready for a new wave.
