Then I got a good one! The tire disintegrated beyond repair. No big deal, just put on the spare. Luckily I had a second spare but it wasn&#8217;t on a rim. The problem was getting it onto the spare rim so that I could continue working as normal. I didn&#8217;t want to chance going off the grid without a spare tire. The next day was Sunday so we changed the plan and fished locally with the intention of getting my other spare tire put on the rim the following morning once the mechanics opened. 8am on Monday we arrived at the mechanic to have the job done so that we could head into the backcountry. Turned out it was a feckin&#8217; public holiday so we had to spend another day without going too far from home just in case we got another flat! Thankfully, the fishing was good!! 8am on Tuesday we arrived at the mechanic for the second time. Steve had the spare on the rim in jig time and were on the way after 10 minutes. Of course, normally I&#8217;d have been on the road an hour earlier. We got to the river to find the first beat occupied. No problem I thought, I wanted the 2nd beat anyway.. We got there to find we had just been beaten to that one too! Plan C was decent but we had a big fish in mind and it didn&#8217;t really cut the mustard. We waited 4 hours and then fished behind the anglers on our favoured beat. We found 2 fish, both of whom almost took the fly&#8230; but didn&#8217;t. That feckin&#8217; flat tire really changed how our fishing unfolded. Such is life. I got a full new set since!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out many of my flies over on the <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fullingmill.co.uk\/s.nl?search=ronan\">Fulling Mill website<\/a>.
