    Does March qualify as Autumn ?????
    It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

    Herman struggled to catch and land a brownie when he was in the Army.

    Even then he got flushed downstream towards Oranjemund..

    Mind you, in his defence, he didn't at the time enjoy the benefit of a compass

    My newly acquired compass shall remain locked up safe and sound for the briny trip.
    As far as Browns are concerned, wasn't that what we called the SANDF oke's when they came north of the Limpopo to learn how to implement effective COIN warfare successfully.
    Never managed to hook one of them on fly, but I know of plenty who were caught on "fluff", the colour did not seem to matter either, as long as it was fresh.
