A fone call late friday had me up with the lark yesterday to join two friends on the long trip down to March in cambridgeshire to attend the annual Zander anglers meeting where Nev Fickling gave those attending a talk on "fifty years of Zander angling".
It was something of a whos who in the meeting room where the speaker kept calling out the odd "name" to give their own personal accounts of their experiances during those early days right up to the presant day.
From the Zanders introduction, eventual spread around the country , the controversial 1980s cull, accounts/pictures/attitudes prevailing at the time up to those of today.
All totally absorbing stuff married to seeing some past aquintances made it a day well worth the long drive from south Yorkshire.
Anyone who has never attended one of these kind of annual angling events would really enjoy attending one, I've done two now this year, a pike thrash at Lincoln and the one yesterday.
They make a welcome break during the close season and give plenty of food for thought .
