Where to take an old man on his last (maybe) fishing trip

[Sam Missile]

I am taking a 91 year old friend of the family fishing on Sunday, on what could possibly be his last ever trip.He is nearly blind, so he will have to touch ledger, I think.I was planning on taking him to the Trent (we live in Nottingham), but it would be really great if he was in with a chance of a few fish. Any ideas lads? Must have easy access, willing to travel a few miles if neccesary.

sam sorry i live in watford but hope you have a great day out .perhaps trent barbeler could suggest somewhere if he still looks in.cheers big al

Of course if he is blind you could always set up a bite alarm for him? Sad senario, hope you have a great day,

dont bury the old boy yet , a member of farnham as is 93 his 69 year old stepson brings him fishing ,just being able to get out in the fresh air is adding to his years

Hope that he lives a few years and catches whatever he wants to mate.

Dont get too hung up on what you are going to catch go somewhere that is special to your friend.

Sam Missile:

I agree with all the responses but I especially agree with budgie, somewhere that is special to him, he has caught his fish so catching is not essential but a bonus.

 

When my time is near closing I hope that I have a man like you to take me on just one more (possibly) trip.

 

Good luck to you both.

nicely said Alan

[Dick Dastardly]

On the other hand stuff the fishing and take him for a night out on the Reeperbhan in Hamburg!

[Tyke]

Yes well put Alan.

When i watch a passion for Angling its always sad to know that Bernard venables has passed away.

Its a joy to watch his face catching those perch.

Hope you have a fullfilling and happy day Sam.

And take some photoes when you go.
