Malcolm Greenhalgh is one of the WTT's Vice Presidents and we will be featuring occasional blog posts from him. This one is from April:
For the first time since 1965 I have bought a brown trout and coarse fish England & Wales Rod Licence instead of a salmon and migratory trout licence. The reason is that I can no longer spend hours cast-cast-casting because of arthritis in my right forelimb. A few years ago, when the arthritis began to hinder my fishing, I went to the medic’s who sent me for some X-rays. Then I was summoned to the clinic at Wrightington where a specialist in the condition told me, as he perused the X-rays, “As bad a case of RSI as one can come across! What repetitive job have you done that has caused such damage to all these joints?”
