It was obvious that there was going to be a pent up desire to return to fishing and this is borne out by the number of people found on the bank. There were at least 5 cars on the car park yesterday at 5.30am , the previous venue was packed and one guy said a bailiff at another water counted over 100 cars and at least 150 anglers. All the bivvies resembled a UN refugee camp. I heard of a number of waters I might have tried which were full.
When the close season applied to stillwaters was it like this after june 15th or not.
I visited a water which is also day ticket and which was a favourite a year or so ago , Just to see what it was like. It was packed but nobody was there I recognised or from my club and those that were there all looked like it was a first time out having bought some Tackle from Lidl. The pool now devoid of all silver fish had dozens of anglers fishing for them unaware that after the pollution incident of last spring 2019 there had been no restocking despite anecdotal affirmation to the contrary. I think some waters are just best avoided at the moment until the pent up desperation, the hot sunny weather and the absence of working days have changed and some semblance of normality has resumed.
