Unfinished business

[Jeff S]

I was hoping to be on the river this weekend but the weather forecast is terrible(more wind and rain) so I guess I'll be sat on a still water somewere with my brolly tied securely,ho well roll on june.

 

Not til the first part of next week! Get in while you can!

 

The Met Office is expecting an intense low pressure system to move east across the UK during Monday 10 March, bringing severe gales and potentially damaging gusts across some areas. Southerly winds are expected to strengthen during the first part of Monday but then turn westerly later. Gusts of 60 to 70mph are expected but there is a possibility of 80mph gusts over exposed coasts and hills. Much depends on the exact track of the low centre but at this stage, parts of Wales and the southern half of England are considered at greatest risk. Disruption could occur to transport and power supply networks and there may be damage to buildings. This warning will be updated around 1030 on Saturday 8 March 2008.

You'll have a great time! The Itchen was superb, one of the best days I had this season. The next fish-in is the one most people look forward to the most - Wingham

 

 

Never heard of Wingham,is it a river or lake fishery?

 

Apologies for wandering off topic

Gravel pits in Kent owned and managed by Steve Burke: http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/fisheries/wingham.htm

 

Last year's fish-in report is here: http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/Wingham...&hl=wingham

 

And the year before here: http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/Wingham...&hl=wingham

 

Every year it seems to be undersubscribed, even though it's a free weekend (aside from a contribution to the baliffs). You might catch a record bream!

I had a bizarre season, mainly poor due to too little time on the bank howevre my highlights will be minor to most but meant something to me:

 

A chub on the haltwhistle burn, where no chub had previousley been caught for at least 15 years.

 

4 small sea trout within 10 casts of each other on a tiny tributary of the tyne.

 

my first 100% wild brown trout over 2lb from a tributary of the eden.

 

taking my neighbour's 5 and 3 year old children fishing for minnows and both of them catching brown trout over a quarter pound.

 

taking my nephew to his first put and take water, helping him land a 3lb rainbow and seeing the glow in his eyes...................fantastic.

 

i just hope i have more time next year.

I can see me retired before I get a pass to go to wingham, which is a shame...........that, the itching trips and skate with davy are three of my must do trips.

 

if you do get a chance to go, take it with both hands.
