Who needs a commercial fishery, I dread to think the bag full I'd have if I had a keepnet, it really was teeming with fish.

Winter is the only time to go though because it's impenetrable in summertime. Never had a chub of size anywhere below the meadow roach swims. Nor below the weir till you reach the very end of the fishery.Jeff Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164198326538064799noreply@blogger.com
