Looks like I'm the first one back, so thanks to Nige again for a thouroughly enjoyable day. The grayling wereobliging and the fishery looked fantastic.

Good to meet so many of the names you get used to on the forum, hope to see most of you again next season.

Never mind Steve, at least you saw a roach over 2 lb.

Neil, might see you at Throop tomorrow, working hard on the missus this evening.

Thanks once again Nige.

[Richard Drayson]

Thanks for organising such a great day out Nigel. It was good to put faces to names as this was my first FM fish-in. Only managed two grayling but ended the day with 22 roach, 3 gudgeon, 1 perch, 1 pike, 1 orfe and 3 chub. Looking forward to seeing the write-up with pics of the fabulous 2lb 8oz roach caught by Sach.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Another fantastic fish-in by Nigel, we had a great time.

Likewise, it was nice to meet some new faces and have a natter.

Thanks for reminding me Rog /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

I want one even more now!

I reckon Speci should do the write-up /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

 

[Peter Jacobs]

Another great day on a fantastic river, meeting-up with old friends and putting faces to names of FM and making new friends too.

Many thanks to Nigel for the organisation and the breakfast, and well done to Sash on a lovely Roach (note to Steve; must try harder my friend

The river was in good, but not terrific condition, the Grayling came out to play and the last knockings on the fishing lodge pool kept me smiling all the way home.

Thanks again Nigel; have you fixed the date for next year yet?

 

[Nathan Walter]

Iwould just like to echo the previous sentiments made. Thank you Nigel for all of your hard work in arranging yat another succesful day on the Itchen. It sounds like some good fish came out and that pretty much everyone caught.

Well done to Sash on his 2lb 8oz roach and Neil on his splendid catch of chub. Claudia, persevere with the pin, it does get easier.

See you all next year, if not sooner!!

 

[Warren 'Hatrick' (Wol) Gaunt]

Again, great day and thanks Nige, those sausages were superb.

Ended up with Roach, Chub, Grayling and Bream.

Hope the pics came out good Sash, nice one.

 

[Claudia Crowther]

I can only ditto all the above....another super fantastic, awesome, cracking Itchen fish-in.

Thank you Nigel for you great effords and hard work for

organizing what has become one of my favorites annual fish-ins.

Nice to have new faces and meet up with some old friends.

Sash, I'm well chuffed for you mate, a Roach of a lifetime, a cracking rewards for you long jorney.

Nathan, I will persevere with the pin....and PJ showed me another way of casting with it and after a few tries I manage to improve my casting already. Now all I want is to catch a barbel and big chub on the pin /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
