cyber-dojo update

Between my recent fishing trips I have been working hard on a new cyber-dojo architecture.

• pluggable default start-points so you can now use your own language/tests and exercises lists on the setup page
• a new setup page for your own pluggable custom start-points
• once I've got the output parse functions inside the start-point volumes I'll be switching the public cyber-dojo server to the new image and updating the running-your-own-server instructions
• I've switched all development to a new github repo which has instructions if you want to try it now.

River Tone chub/roach

Last week I broke my Daiwa Spectron spliced-tip rod which has served me for 25 years+. After some searching around I replaced it with a Drennan Acolyte Ultra 14ft. I christened it yesterday with my heaviest ever bag on the Tone; 80lb+ of chub and roach with a few skimmer bream, one roach-bream hybrid, and several small perch. All caught on waggler, red/yellow/white maggot, on 1.7lb hooklength, and a size 20 Kamasan B560. Wooohooo.

Verdal salmon

Once a year a spent a glorious week fishing for salmon on the River Verdal in Norway. This year, despite the low water, I caught this cracker. A huge thanks to John Oldren who owns the beat. You will not find a more hospitable host. Also to Gary Scott for being super helpful as always.

Tulchan salmon

One of my favourite salmon beats is Tulchan on the river Spey.
On my most recent trip I caught two, including this beauty from Hunter's Pool.
