Saturday 23rd July was FM Fish-In Day on the Wye just above Ross. Here's a short account and a few pic's...

Excellent ! That's saved me a job then. Nice one, Cliff.

The picture of me and Ray was after I'd eaten his lunch, caught his pet eel and trashed 2 [ or possibly 3] of his hooklinks.

An excellent trip in superb surroundings.

The link in Cliff's article is to my Facebook page which you won't be able to access unless you're on one of my approved lists mg:

Here's a link to the FM thread about the fish-in. Probably best to start from the last page and work backwards!

I'll have you know the swim wasn't idyllic me chair was precariously perched (pun intended) on rubble and at least three times I was unceremoniously pitched towards the water, it was only my slim athletic build and cat like reflexes that saved the day.

Thank you, Neil...I should have known not to meddle with facebook....

Perfect for the 4x4 Aqualout Chair I would have thought !

Similar for me on Sunday! I went to great lengths to secure my chair on the rubble and trying to get it level. Once seated it wasn't too bad but getting in and out was another thing, especially when it rained. However, a couple of times when the rod doubled over and when trying to net the barbel, it was perilous to say the least.

Trouble is you have to be strapped into that or it won't start due to health and safety and if that was to tip in you be in trouble because auto drop down oxygen masks have been removed and fitted to the high rise carp spotting dobbing chair, oh I shouldn't have mentioned the next project, it's a secret, so don't tell anyone I don't want Piston Broke Innovations getting to the market ahead of me.
