Well, it may be only a month until the nights start to pull in but we have had loads of rain and cool conditions which can only be good for the fisheries. Admittedly it’s put people off going fishing which is  a shame as sport has been excellent. … Read more »

Wow, it’s April and I don’t know where the last two months went. Fishy news first. I got another trip in to the Itchen for Grayling and had eight to 2 – 10 with five over 2 so that was a great way to end the season. Sad … Read more »
