Thames Anglers' Conservancy

Any angler who fishes the Thames or it's tributarys should have a look at this site and I hope they will join (it's free) ?

Jimmy Page (Mushroom) is a mate of mine and has worked tirelessly to premote the Thames Angler Conservancy.

And it's not just about Politics, although we should all be behind Jim and his fellow committee men in protecting the River Thames !!

Please have a look.

Bob..Tried several times but cannot get it to open up......'page error'??

 

[Bob Hornegold]

Tee-Cee,

I don't know why, I can open both links ?

And I'm hopeless with computors.

Maybe a Moderator can have a look

Google them if the link won't work. It's the top one by the way, the bottom link goes to page error.

It's worth the effort. The most positive bunch of people I've met in a very long time. I've been to one litter clean and will make the trek accross London when I can.

If you fish the Thames you should join to support them, frankly if you fish anywhere you should. If we had their equivelent accross the country, Angling would be in very good shape.

It could be, that the link works for me, because I'm already a member ?

Come on lads, lets have some comments, it's not all Northern Lads on this site -is it ?

Free to join, some good events and social nights.

Have a look and see whats going on, to clean up (or not) the capitals river ?

Bob

 

[Tee-Cee]

It looks worthwhile so I've joined (I'm from the 'South' by the way!).

Its more interesting stuff about our waters and keeping them in good order AND its free so why not join??

 

[Bob Hornegold]

Good on you, Tee-Cee:w

Mushroom has regular visits and reports on here Bob, so most should be aware of his enthusiasm and his work.

If you haven't seen his postings start here

[Bob Hornegold]

Yes I know that Fred, I just thought I would " Bang The Drum " for him !!

Ray Walton and I have put up a couple of trophies to be fished for throughout the season.

I just thought it might be of interest ?

many many thanks to you all for your kind words and support, without everyone helping we wouldn't have achieved a smidgen of what we've done

please big us up anywhere you deem suitable, and if we get it wrong, let us know, 'cause we're only doing our inexperienced best

a dads'n'lads'n'lasses fish-in, this friday 19th at 1930hrs, hampton court downstream of the palace, on the palace side
we're balling in a 15 kilo sack of vitalin in the afternoon, so if you've got a youngster, or just wanna strike someone elses, or your own rod, come on down

 

[tuolumne fisher]

20 plus rods produced 2 bites despite all the vitalin
the first an eel around the 2lb mark was admirably played, landed and held for a pic by one of the youngsters, the second was a bream caught way of the baited area
we all laughed, passed on tips and remembered past captures, the youngsters did what boys do, interupted by fits of giggles

we've now got daily clarity readings posted on our forum
today 6ft 6in
yesterday 7ft 6in
day before 7ft

[tuolumne fisher]
