I've been toying for some time about the fact that an association could be formed amongst all the genuine Trent enthusiasts in this country.
Let's face it, never has a river had such bad press in the last few years. From comments such as: "The Trent is dead" to "I'll never fish the Trent again, I can't get a bite", the deprication of this river continues.
Yet to us who really understand and appreciate this river, we know different.
Sure the Trent is not the easiest place to fish. Sure the Trent is not really a match anglers river any more.
But it is a river capable of giving the most tremendous sport imaginable. It may take you months, even years for you to understand this great stream, but when you do, and when you tempt that fish, or catch of a lifetime from the river's fickle currents, you will understand what angling is all about.
Yes, I do fancy forming a little association of Trent enthusiasts. There are a few of us who are members of this website, who could start nthe ball rolling.
I don't intend to have an association that is exclusive. Anyone who truly loves this river could join us.
So I invite you now to let me know of your opinions via FISHINGmagic. Do you think a Trent society would be viable?
As I see it, we could have a few informal meeting each year and maybe the odd fish-in where members could share their expertise with others. There are lots of lovely pubs along the valley of the Trent where we could meet.
You don't have to be an out and out specimen hunter, or barbel angler or match angler to join. There are lots of other species in the Trent that are well worth fishing for.
Let me know what you think?
Email me direct if you want.
