| My Fishy Life |
|
Most of this story is based in New Zealand where I was born in 1935. I
guess I was about four when I caught my first fish. My older cousin who
lived across the stream from me taught me to bend one of my Mums pins
in the shape of a hook and using a length of cotton, presto, we were
fishing! Bait was worms from the garden and we fished from the foot
bridge between our properties. |

| McLay 460 Softie |
|
The Softie models are a relatively new development. The most notable
feature of which is the closed cell EVA fendering running around both
sides. This stuff is the same material that is used in your
life-jacket. So one immediately obvious advantage is that the McLay Softie
must surely be one of the most "unsinkable" of all water craft. This
buoyancy is further enhanced by the addition of a fully welded 4mm
tread plate floor creating a water tight compartment. |
