Who fancies a fish in?

[peter crabtree]

It's been ages since we had an FM fish in. The venue I have in mind is fairly central and easily reachable from the Midlands, NW, SE etc. It features fantastic big roach fishing a rod length out, carp on feeder, pike and big perch.
Day tickets are £7. OAPS £4. Parking is free.
There are no local food outlets so sarnies need to be made.

You know me Simon, always game for a fish in.............

Might be, if only to meet up with old faces like Jerry.

Can you get bank stick into or between the rock on that bank or do you need a seat with arms sticking out like a ... what do you call them ... matchmen? Only I don't have a seat just chairs now.

Is Clattercote no good these days?

Yes it's possible...

I'm in....subject to Mrs S not having booked anything and not told me.

 

[chrissh]

Count me in.

If anyone want a lift down from the Dronfield /Sheffield let me know, I only have room for one with their gear

He's certainly got one of those !

No, that's just the portrait in the loft Skip......................

Subject to sussing out exactly where Boddington is, and the vagaries of self employed working, I may actually come to annoy you all. If it happens, requests for which rods/reels people would like to see will be taken.

Excellent ! No minnows, grayling or trout in there though, Chris.

 

[john step]

Count me in IF its not at the crack of dawn enabling those far flung members like me time to get there.

 

[sam vimes]

I do appreciate that. Will make a change to catch something else that late in the year. However, I have just sussed where Boddington is. It's just into nosebleed territory for me. I haven't travelled so far at my own expense since I left the Royal Air Force! I hope the venue is good!

 

[peter crabtree]

The last time I fished there was a match which was won with 40lb of clonking roach .
I'm not thinking about an early start, probably around 9:30 - 10am to give everyone time to get there. It's open 24 hours if you want to be early.
I think the average journey time for most would be 2hours although from N Yorks more like 3 and a half.

 

[sam vimes]

from N Yorks more like 3 and a half.

About that, if I were really lucky with traffic, or bent the law a fair bit where possible.

Not my sort of water but will give it a go, I'll be using a wire stemmed stick is that ok?

 

[barbelboi]

Same here Rob but we don't get the chance of a FM meet up that often these days - not my sort of day for fishing either (Sunday) but the rivers will still be there for every other day of the season...........

You may need one if it’s windy and it’s towing.

Don't worry I'll go to my default stillwater setting of wag and mag on the drop, it's always fun

 

[Jeff Woodhouse]

He's certainly got one of those !

I haven't seen yours since we lost SP either Skippy. That's something I'd like to bring back to IAS!
