So you were all revved up to go on your very first all night fishing session, how did it go, did it exceed all expectations or were you put off by it all?.

Subsequent night session have seen me running around a field like a nutter at 4am, desperately trying to get warm....
- the 3-5 a.m. shivers (or is that just me?),
Now my philosophy is, that if the fish I want will not bite during the time I am on the water, then they are not my fish to catch.
.
That's my philosophy these days Mick.
First night session would have been around 1971 at Ryhill Reservoir
NP, last time I was at Ryhill res it was a night job back in the late nineties, It was like the Bronx, burning out cars, bears in the air (copy that gud bud) and A holes running to evade capture-- wasnt you and your dog in pursuit by any chance.

Not guilty!
I covered South Yorks including Royston, but not into the bad lands of West Yorks
Although I was involved in a few pursuits that went over the county line. And spookily the first ever incident I attended was a car crash at the neighbouring Cold Hiendley Reservoir where both South and West Yorks officers attended due it being near to the border and neither force not knowing exactly who's it was. The West Yorks crew included my mate who I'd shared a car with on the fourteen week training course in Durham. It was a stolen car and I tracked the driver down by following a trail through the fields before the dog handler turned up.
My own dog handing beat was round your area;- Wath right through to Dinnington.
When I fished Ryhill as a teenager there was a fluid system of day tickets rigorously enforced by Dennis the bailiff who patrolled the lake on his Honda 50. If you wanted a day ticket it was two quid. If you just wanted to fish and not have the paper evidence you gave Dennis a quid. There was no night fishing allowed so that cost a fiver for both days and the night with no tickets issued. :wh
