I realy couldnt care less wether the riverclosed season is kept or not, i would still have a break from fishing for a month or so any way.
Towards the end of last season i was realy getting fed up with fishing to the point wher i was going more justout of habit than an actual desire to go. I was totaly peed off with braving freezing cold, gale force winds and getting wet through and catching next tonowt.
So when i got home after another miserable,windy,cold,wet,fishless day on the closing day of the season i chucked my gear in the shed and vowed not to get it out again until the weather picks up.
And it stayed in the shed for a bit longer than i expected, i went about9 weeks without even thinking about fishing and didnt miss it one bit. I'd totaly lost interest, never baught a fishing mag and only looked in on FM every now and then when i was bored at work.
Then it happened !!!, got up last saturday and the urge to chuck out a waggler took over me, within the hour i was sat at my local lake in a tee shirt, sun on my back,catching lovely chunky little roach, one a chuck, on the waggler, brilliant.
The rest did me the world of good and now i cant wait until im threading a stick float on the line on the 16th
