I have a hotmail addy for him but I don't think it's current. Leaving work in a little bit and I think I have a newer one at home. If so, I'll PM it to you.

If they allow you to, you should definitely try the weirpool by the millhouse. It's got some huge coarse fish swimming around, including two big bream and a large grass carp that often gets mistaken for a double-figure chub. I caught my PB chub (6.2.0) from that weirpool on a prawn. Above the weirpool, the river narrows considerably, and you'll have to be as unobtrusive as possible: "softly softly catchee fishee". Some very big chub and grayling, and one or two VERY elusive big roach, but all easily-spooked, as the river is narrow and quite 'small' on this stretch..and, last but not least, it is one of the most pristine stretches of river you'll ever see- straight out of Mr. Crabtree. To see the river in its spring/summer glory is a sight to behold. A beautifully-managed water of high quality. I just wish I could go too.

Well, seeing I'm coming from Cheltenham, I had better come the day before. Please advise when you are booked for certain, so I can book accommodation.

I am coming from the Midlands and will drive down that morning. When I went to Timsbury it took about 2 hours and I would say the same would be for the Itchen. Weekends, the traffic is ok especilly early in the morning and late in the evening. The only problem used to around Newbury but the road works have almost finished
