Jon Neafcy

On wednesday we were treated to Jon's slide show and talk. the title of which hinted at his youthfull age, also showing his piking as a youngster with a little thrown in from the last few years (ever the optomist or should that be youthfull?)
Jon showed us how he started his pike fishing exploits in the early days in the lake district with the typical kit of the day. In doing this it shows how far we have progressed in a relativly short space of time, as the kit we now take for granted is so far beyond what we once used, not to mention dress sense mind you it hasnt changed all that much.
The 1st fish Jon showed was quite memorable and te tale that went with it will leave many laughing about there early days
Jon also threw in some of his other fish that he has targeted over the years, eels, cats, carp to name a few.
As ever rather than go into too much detail and run the risk of Jon's show being spoiled for others yet to see it ill leave it at that suffice to say its a show that left me (at least) looking inward at how my fishing has progressed rather than the more usual shows that tend to give rise to quite a few questions
