Winter Chub Ribble Fish-in IV

[john conway]

OK lads here we go once again, the fourth FishingMagic Winter Chub Ribble Fish-in will be on the 19th of February 05. The reason for pulling it forward into Feb is one, it?s the only date Jim Hinchley and I can make it together, and secondly the last couple of weeks on the Ribble will be very busy with the Barrel lads both on the club and day ticket waters.
It?s the same routine as before i.e. meet up at the Black Bull Inn in Ribchester about 11:00hrs, have a natter and something to drink and or eat, then onto the river for 13:00hrs. Back in the pub around 19:00hrs for another natter on your day?s adventure. Some of us will be staying for an evening meal and one or two of use will also be staying over in the Bunk House.
If you haven?t been on a Ribble Fish-in before then it?s worth reading the articles on the past fish-ins.
Anyone who wants directions drop me an email and I?ll email you back with the information.

Good move bringing it forward John. Depending on how many turn up (count me in) it might be an idea to get an earlier start, as at the last one, there were anglers all along the day ticket stretch when I got up there.

Think im working that weekend but will do my best to get the day off.
Nasty 24 hour flu bugs seem to hit me around the end of feb.

John, I'm going to have to give you a copy of my shift rotabeen unlucky this year as both fishins have been on my weekend shifts,have a good day though!!

 

[Ric Elwin]

John I'm going to try to make it. Fished the Ribble most of last summer, I've been toying with the idea of a Chub session, this has prompted me!

I'll be travelling on my own from Stockport if anyone wants a lift...

 

[Bryan Baron 2]

Should be there John. Lets hope its as good as the last one.

 

[Daniel Matley]

I hope to be there again. Like everyone else who went last time I really enjoyed the day.

Ric, I will also be travelling from Stockport so maybe we could share a car......I'm not fussed who drives.

 

[Vinnie Coleman]

Nice one John.As usual I will be there. looking forward to a good laugh and a natter.

 

[John McLaren]

Hope to be there, I'll confirm. Thanks for the effort again John

 

[Andy "the Dog" Nellist]

Looking forward to it John )

 

[snotman]

Can't wait, any news on the room situation?

 

[Baz]

I don't mind shareing a bunk with you Ian.;-)

 

[john conway]

Re the bunk job lads, unless we get twenty or more staying there?s no problem. For those who are into breakfast, there?s only a kettle, toaster and microwave. Not a problem for me, if I?m fishing on Sunday I?m up early and off as it?s coming light, so a cup of coffee and a couple of slices of toast are fine for me.
If the river levels right there?s some good chub coming out at the moment. If you haven?t visited the Ribble since the big floods just after Christmas you may be in for a surprise some areas have taken a real bashing. Not sure what the long term weather forecast is but as usual I?ll post the river levels and conditions on the Friday so that you can decide if it worth the trip. Unfortunately it?s not good moon wise if we have a clear night, so just before dusk may be the time if it?s a bright day.
There?s a few of us going this weekend so if we all post it may make interesting reading?
