The worlds most famous fly fishing river. Dry fly fishing originated here on the River Test in Hampshire, England. Even today it is still regarded as one of the best fly fishing rivers by fisherman all over the world. Only down the road for me, I made two trips to the River today and got chatting to a couple of old boys fishing, was thoroughly relaxing. so much so I may go back tomorrow. http://shrubmonkey.smugmug.com/Other/River-Test/jun3b/553973346_Y9Boc-Ti-1.jpg http://shrubmonkey.smugmug.com/gallery/8431478_B28EM/ 2009-06-03T06:07:29Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
