In Legio IX Hispana noncombat activities are equal in importance with combat activities such as marching drills, combat practices and simulated combat. To that end each member is encouraged to learn one or more noncombat skills such as entrenchment skills, assorted woodworking skills, surveying, engineering, shoemaking and other leather working skills etc. In addition all soldiers must learn to bake bread, make armor, sew etc
What follows are some skills that Agricola is working on... FISHING
Photo #1: he's adjusting his line
Photo #2: he's casting.. learned that more line that plays out easier would be better.
Photo #3: casting a net. This is the net he hand netted! Learned that it could use some more weights and floats
Photo #4: Otuel, one of our local Briton friends in his coracle at dusk.
Photo #5: Dawn over the lake.

Agricola did no actual fishing, just tested the equipment. We'll be fishing soon and are working on the right set of permits to use a net under the right circumstnaces.. California is a unique place for many reasons!
