I watched a documentary last night about darts and Eric Bristow said he started fly fishing to try to get back his throwing rhythm after getting "dartitis".  ( I always thought this was a made up title for "used to be good" but i went from almost County level player to couldn't even hold a dart in a couple of months! Weirdest thing.

Many golfers enjoy a bit f fly fishing. Right from Jack Nicklaus to Tigger. Faldo started on the Test.
