Apart from the Itchen every year, a whole days fishing is rare indeed, not sure I could do it frequently Mick Neweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534025506569660200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185482678332207687.post-46444151893215082152020-06-24T11:44:04.652+01:002020-06-24T11:44:04.652+01:00To be honest Brian, it was more the fact I had a W...To be honest Brian, it was more the fact I had a WHOLE day to myself was the pleasure, the fishing was secondary. But yeah, very similar here when it's clear, they switch off very quickly indeed.Mick Neweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534025506569660200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185482678332207687.post-84850192838377237622020-06-24T09:22:19.078+01:002020-06-24T09:22:19.078+01:00Another good read - hope you did better in the eve...Another good read - hope you did better in the evening, although after your previous session maybe a little bit of 'Kipling's two imposters' was inevitable.<br /><br />Oddly, these days I struggle with sessions longer than about three hours tops. I do think this means I often leave just as the blighters find my ground bait ...<br /><br />I'm currently messing up my opportunities to get out, too hot during the day and I'm failing to get up early and had a few things to do in the evenings.<br /><br />Craft beers, tbh with exceptions, such as Campden's lagers (which are probably main stream now) I prefer more bog-standard fare such as Tribute, Bath Wild Hare, Whistable Pale Ale Butcombe Original and the like. Fairly standard stuff that is affordable and available from Sainsburys (and our nearest Tesco Express has Dartmoor Jail Ale now and again). Me, dull, never?<br /><br />CliveSidestream Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114054273307270351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185482678332207687.post-29331402423699679142020-06-24T09:00:54.752+01:002020-06-24T09:00:54.752+01:00Can’t beat a day with no time limits!

I hope you got an open wing shot of that Meadow Brown - I flunked one, since then James has been chasing them around for weeks!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.com
