Everybody knows that cool people take millions of “selfies” and send them out to their flocks of admirers. You just need to look at the Daily Mail to see that the beautiful people out there are busy taking photos of themselves and that the images they capture, which usually portray them wearing little or nothing, become instant “news.”

Inspired by the success of the celebrities in the media, I thought I might boost my own profile by posting some selfies of my own (I could become another Kardashian!)

You will be pleased and relieved to hear that I will refrain from parading in my underwear.

Check out my selfies below:

This was my first attempt but I realise I chopped the nose off my fish!

I think I did a little better this time!

The gypsy barbel in the river are in very good condition at this time of the year and many are pretty deep-bodied. I landed two on Sunday but was broken off by a couple more.

Leo is back from university and would like to get out on the river. Maybe he will be on hand to take a picture next time, or I might have a chance to take a picture or two of him with some fish.

This will put an end to my self obsession and selfie mania at least for a little while.

This will probably come as a relief to everyone!

The gypsy barbel are in fine fettle at this time of the year. They are also close to their spawning time with the odd male displaying tubercles. When spawning time comes I will leave them alone.
