No winter trip to the tropics. no late season river sessions and no visits to the local pond.
I'm really hoping to get out either on a local Stillwater, chasing the brownies on a local river with spinners or chasing rainbows on the fly at some time in the next couple of weeks.
I'm getting a bit of cabin fever.
The niece and nephews are starting to want a session so I might even end up chasing pond pigs.
Have just directed their mom to the EA site to get them sorted out with free rod licences.

Only been once myself, during a brief warm period a few weeks ago. Only one perch, but some home-made (or should that be bankside-made) minestrone soup cheered me up
