the evening on the ribble turned out to be a total disaster! arriving at one of my club beats we were amazed to see that every plot on the other bank was taken. Most fishing were yobs from the housing estate, not much idea and absolutely no manners. 3 oz leads were flying in every direction! the problem is that the other bank is not controlled by any club and is a free for all, i don't think the EA even dare to go down there.after three casts each both me and dad had three eels apiece! it was never going to be a good night was it ? Then we sat in amazement and watched as a guy on the far bank hooked a barbel! Only to go and beach the the fish on sharp gravel and drag it up the bank! we were totally disgusted then he went one step further by getting a net out of his bag to weigh the fish in! THERE IS NO PLACE IN FISHING FOR BEHAVIOUR LIKE THIS! We decided there and then that it was time to leave and headed off up to another beat at ribchester. We never saw another soul until we packed up and were at the car, a couple of fly anglers had turned out for the sea trout. All we caught was sixteen eels between us with my biggest being around 2lb. Dad couldn't have a run down with the fly because we were called home early.
i hope my next trip (on Sunday with Dave) is more productive, it has to be more enjoyable i think were going on the lodges because i cant twist his arm into going up to windermere.

In this blog i intend to keep a diary of my passion for fishing. I expect it wont be too intresting but we shall see how it goes :)
Hi I'm Nigel and this is my blog. I like to fish for any freshwater species I can and have dabbled with game fish. My fishing rarely sees me catching monsters but I hope to show what fishing is all about and why I love it.

Hey Nige!
Nice to see you're back - thought you had packed in.
Good to see the sea trouting is still producing plenty of eels!!
