Dabbling on the Dane

Bryan Baron 2 · Jun 14, 2004

Excellent read as usuall Baz. I am really looking forward to my first visit in a few weeks with you.
On the slug front a few halibut pellets work well for attracting them. Though can honestly say never had any luck with them.

Baz · Jun 14, 2004

Hi Bryan,
with a bit of luck we will be able to see just how ferociousely they take them when they are in the mood.

Lovely piece Baz.

I am glad you are an angler after my own heart. Keeping a sense os proportions regarding big fish.

I've never fished the Dane. It looks a classic river.

Bryan Baron 2 · Jun 14, 2004

Lets hope Baz.
I was thinking of using my John Wilson quiver at 11 foot or do you think 13 foot would be better. It as 1 1/4 Ib t/c. Would you also use the Avon or Quiver tip.

Baz · Jun 14, 2004

Ron,
Praise from such as yourself is praise indeed, I am really made up.
It just so happens A visitor has just left my house, some bloke in a habit, your name was mentioned.

Bryan,
11foot with quiver tip, like minded anglers think alike eh? it's what I use.

Ron Troversial Clay · Jun 14, 2004

Has he left you one of his ruffe slappers?

Baz · Jun 14, 2004

No such luck Ron,
The wife reads the threads aswell, so he was well inspected.

Baz

Just read your article very good wish we had rivers like that in kent

keep up the good work

Nice read Baz, keep them coming.
Well Baz you know me, two rod Conway!!, but just for you I?ll only bring one rod to the Dane fish-in. It?s a nice little number, 11ft quiver, it did have one of those 2ft butt extensions but I bust it wanging out a big feeder because I hadn?t check that I?d pushed the butt all the way home.
I?m also someone who?s not had much success with slugs except that they do seem to be attracted to me and my gear!!

Baz · Jun 14, 2004

Mel,
We will have to try and work somthing out sometime.

John,
This is the thing with the Dane mate, it really frustrated me last year when the same methods wouldn't work on the Ribble.
You will know what I mean when you come down,and I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't come back for more. If you can get slugs John,bring some down with you. It really is a cracking river, some high banks aswell, so get ready to scramble about. Believe me, one rod is all you will need on here.

Ron Troversial Clay · Jun 14, 2004

Why don't you emigrate Mel?

Rivers like the Dane, and we have many in the North and Midlands, are the reason why lots of us prefer the North.

You should see the Trent, Dove, Derwent, Idle, Don, Dearne, Swale, Ure, Wharfe, Nidd, Rother and a few other I can name, all within 50 miles of my home, many of which were polluted terribly 30 years ago.

Not now.

A very good read as normal Baz. Hopefully when the season starts again i will have my first barbel i've had a dabble before but nothing serious so hopefully this is the year. Good luck to all for the coming season.

Jim Hinchley · Jun 15, 2004

Nice one baz.
Enjoyed the read and could specifically relate to the dock leaf and slug pairing as i did exactly the same thing for the first few pick ups. ( have now progressed to using my forceps !!! ).
The mental picture of you in undies and thigh waders scaring the sheep is particularly frightening .

Baz · Jun 15, 2004

Thank's Jim,
On the Dane Fish-In,
Phil Phoned me last night and he will be off his computer for a couple of weeks,and wont be able to recieve e-mails, so if anyone needs to contact him, you can either phone him direct if you have his number, or phone or e-mail me and I will put you in touch.

Hi Baz......Nice read on my favourite piece of water. There is something special about this river, I just can't quite put my finger on what it is and there must be plenty of other waters like it but it casts this spell on you that you can never shake off. Yes I will be there tomorrow>

Dan

Baz · Jun 15, 2004

I am back down to an evening session Dan, I will keep an eye open for you.

Daniel Matley · Jun 15, 2004

Hope to bump into you too Baz, I will be there until dark flitting between a few fav pegs.

Richard Savage · Jun 17, 2004

Well writen, Baz.
Are you going to organize a FM fishin?
Put me down for that one, sounds like a great idea.

EXCELLENT NEWS
I?ve just had a call from Phil Hatton, Lymm Anglers have confirmed that for anybody who wants to, they will be allowed to fish until 2.a.m. in the morning. Lymm Anglers have requested that we pass the hat around for a donation to a hospice they are attatched to.
So one suggestion is to meet at the Fox and Hounds public house at about 12 noon, which is a couple of hundred yds from where we will be parking, for liquid refreshments and something to eat if you want to. I will post directions at the weekend. Is this suitable for everybody? If not we can alter the meeting times.
Nice one Phil, and many thanks to Neil Jupp of Lymm Anglers.

Bryan Baron 2 · Jun 17, 2004

That will be fine with me Baz.

I was wondering if waders were needed or if boots/wellies are all thats required.
