That baby slope is a lot steeper than it looks. The LWB wouldn't go down it. And the SWB wouldn't go back up. SWMBO had very white knuckles on the way down. :yikes: ):
The slope on the outside of the tip is about 100ft high at an angle of about 45 degrees. That ones fun if you haven't done any offroading before. My mate's wife nearly had kittens on that one!
Have you done any fly fishing for Pike, I've always wanted to try that but I haven't got any fly fishing tackle.
