thanks glenn, its now finally back up and running. ray. p.s. good luck with the comp, it looks good, hope it all goes well.

just to let the members know that kayakfishinguk is down due to a hosting problem, we are working to get it back up and running and hopefully it will be sorted soon. thanks ray.

it was a good w/end, sorry more of you guys couldnt make it. Met up with olly, Derek and zak on Saturday morning, after initial greetings had been exchanged, we headed for the camp site. Upon arrival, after getting our barrier cards, we arrived at the pitch and met up with andy and family. We chatted away whilst we set up camp, the campsite itself was really nice, we had a pitch in a clearing in the trees almost like a small glade. After refreshments, it was time to leave the woman and kids and get out on the water. The launch was a decent one, it was a couple of hundred yards from where are tents where but it was easy enough to drive to the edge of the lake. There was a small stream running into the lake at the back of where we had set up camp, andy and I decided to launch there and paddle down into the lake, it was pretty cool, only a couple of feet deep, a couple of yards wide, plenty of over hanging trees to negotiate. We met up with olly and Derek on the main lake, we head towards the top end of the lake, there were a few fishy looking places scattered about, we all chucked a few lures about but there was no sign of any fish what so ever. We didn’t really stay out long, just long enough to get the yaks wet and have a bit of a look around. Back at camp, we sorted the bbq for the evening, spent some time just chatting and generally getting to know one another. After food and refreshments, we headed out again. Again we did not stay out for very long and yet again, no sign of any fish. the scenery was pretty cool. the clouds looked quite menacing. Back at camp, the evening was spent “socializing” till the early hours, there is something about cold bbq sausages dipped in chilli that just makes you drink more. The following morning I woke early to what I thought was thunder, it was actually andy snoring, I took myself off and went out for an early paddle. Went and tried a few places that looked fishy that had been spotted the evening before, again, no sign of fish life. Took a short break on a nearby island. I stayed out only for a couple of hours as the camp had to be dismantled before 11 o’clock. We spent time packing away and I headed off for home leaving the others to go out for one last paddle. Despite the lack of fish, it was a very enjoyable w/end indeed, in the company of other like minded yak anglers. It made a nice change for me as I normally am on my own when I go out, it was good to meet some of the guys off the site. Another w/end is a must, already looking forward to it. Ray.

just a quick one gents, if anybody is comming just to have a play on a yak, then it might be worth taking into account that you may get wet, throw some spare clobber in a bag to avoid a wet drive home. apart from that, be prepared for the addiction. ray.
