The coarse fishing closed season lasts 93 days, but with the three weeks or so we lost at the end of last season my body clock is telling me that this should be up. I'm starting to get terrible withdrawl symptoms.
During this recent good weather I've taken to sitting out in the garden, not on a deck chair, but my fishing chair. Usually twiddling with a reel, or caressing float, or plug. My wife looking on and shaking her head in disbelief.
My video's of "Wet Nets" and my only pre-recorded fishing video "Gord Burton; Pike the natural way" have almost been played to destruction.
As a rule I don't fish much in the traditional closed season. Not never but not often. I can normally console myself with walking the river banks planning for next season, but with the F&M restrictions I can't do that either.
What makes it worse is my mates at work who fish commercials are ribbing me with their stories of bagging up. I don't fish commercials, it's not a snobby thing I just don't normally like the idea, but now the flesh is weak, perhaps I need spiritual guidance from the Rev Bloor.
But on the serious side, when will the closed season end? Foot & Mouth may not make the news like it did, and in many peoples view is all over. However I still havn't seen any relaxing of the restriction around here, footpaths re-openning, and the local clubs stillwaters that would normaly be open this time of year are still closed.
