That's the plan but I'll be in Kent playing golf on the 15th until quite late so may skip opening day and start on the 17th.

 

Golf? I was thinking about giving the 16th a miss as well, but Golf? I can't imagine you in all this gear. Do you have vintage bats like you do reels?

Looked at the upper Dorset Stour yesterday; nice flow but has its usual brown diatom bloom stain that will stick around until the end of June though sometimes a timely flood will flush it out. It fish

Just checked the forecast... Nooooo! I can't bear a day of trotting in heavy rain!

It's an annual tradition Mike, I've known these guys for nearly 40 years and every 12 months we get together for a couple of rounds of golf. The date was a bit inconvenient this year but the pre-match mind games are great fun and it's a huge event so I have to go, 16th or no 16th (I usually win the golf :) ).

 

It's been said that I look very dapper in my golf gear.

It's never a 'six', let's put it back

Hopefully I'll find some dace on my travels, that would be nice.

 

 

I supose i'm lucky as I have some top dace fishing locally. I often say they bore me but I suppose if they weren't there i'd soon realise how much I do like having the privilege of catching em'.

They are in most local rivers here, but (as far as I know, anyway) only grow big in one of them, a small tributary of the Thames. When I say big I don't mean like the chalkstreams or some of the northern rivers, but up to about 10oz. They're such hard fighters for their size and can be so fast biting, I think they're fantastic little fish :) Edited by Anderoo

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
