Press Manor Fish In

[Morespiders]

Count me in, anybody want to borrow rod and reel. Let me know.

 

[Kevin Perkins]

I seem to remember I have a pact with Mr Monk - if he turns up, I will.......

 

[Gary Knowles]

If nothing comes up I'll be there.

and this time I will not be taking thr blame for grumpy Marsdens emissions !!!!!

Extra mushy's anyone ?

 

[David Bourne]

Any sniff of confirmed dates yet? I am really up for this one, got a long leash from Wendy an' everyfing.
Done my homework on fishery location, just need to book accommodation and I am set!

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

Well I will make the casting vote.

The 12th of May it is to be.

And will you all help me in a major quest that will please Kevin greatly. The Monk, has to be there!!!

He has been a member of this website virtually as long as myself and has yet to turn up at a fish-in or get together. I ask you all to bombard him with e-mails remind him of the 12th of May.

It's not a matter of he won't be there, he WILL be there!!

 

[Ged]

Hope to be there this year. Missed last year due to work.
I'll try and convince Mr Monk as I only live around the corner from his Monestry. Also got spare tackle he could use.

 

[Wendy Perry 2]

!2th of May is good for me!

I'll mail monk tomorrow!

 

[Bryan Baron 2]

The 12th it is.

Do i have to bring the trophy back as its now occupied with me pet goldfish ;0)

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

Yes please Bryan.

Wendy you are the one person who can get The Monk out of his cave for this day.

And he has loads of fly tackle - no innuendo intended there.

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

I think we should plan a special reception for his arrival. Any ideas?

 

[paul williams 2]

Tel Monk i'll bring him three top notch Brum ruffs if he comes!


Bryan......may as well have it engraved before you bring it back...........but use my real name please....not Brummie!

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

So challenges are being thrown down eh!!

I think I should start laying odds.

The plan for the day will be as follows:

8.45 am meet at the caravan for tea, coffee, introductions and ticket purchasing.

9.30 am until 12.30, fishing where tuition will take place for those who require it.

12-30 pm adjourn to the Three Horseshoes for Lunch.

1-30 pm fly tying demo. (Who's going to do it?)

2-30 pm to 6 pm a friendly catch and release match will take place, the winner being decided by the angler landing the most fish. I will do the counting!

There will only be one winner, however I am thinking of awarding a small trophy for the most "enthusiastic beginner" and the winner of this does not necessarily have to catch a fish at all.

Any other ideas will be welcome.

 

[John McLaren]

I'd like to join in the fun on this one.

Trying to have a look at the web site for Press Manor and there appears to be a problem - is there alternative info anywhere?

 

[Shrek]

I'm in.

As for the Fly Tying, I reckon Graham ought to show us his skills now that he's a proficient tyer.

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

Good idea Adrian.

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

Just spoken to Bernie Maher the fishery owner, we are booked in for the 12th May.

As for the fly tying: I suggest that a few beginners sit behind the vice and have a bash. Those experienced tyers then give constructive criticism.

What do you think?

 

[Gav Barbus]

Ron may I enquire the price for the days fishing . If you can get 10 thumbs here to tye a fly it will be a miracle of the highest order.

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

For catch and release it's about ?14.00

 

[Kevin Perkins]

Hang on Ron

You're always telling us that you go fly fishing 'ooop norf' for ?2.50 a day, so you ought to subsidise us southerners to the tune of ?11.50 each if that's not the case.......

 

[sash]

I'd like to have attended this one but a good mate is getting married on the 12th so no go for me, shame.

Does anyone fly fish in my area, Cambs / Lincs (Rutland/Grafham maybe)? If possible, I'd love to tag along one day for a bit of tuition.
