Trouble is I don't have a licence and don't know what's involved in getting one (are they on ebay?). Can't the site supply a day licence type thingy?

I'm also interested in playing with your boules so please make sure that they are well polished.

Bryan, You need an environment-agency rod license from HERE
An day license will do unless you are going to take the sport up for longer

You only need the Trout & Course (no reflection on yourself) Salmon & Sea Trout is for the posh fishermen.

Thanks for that Keith.

PAMMY!!!!!!!!

How does the fishing comp work? What day/days is it on, do we just tell you that we want to fish and you'll book the fishing pitches?

Looking forward to dusting off my rod...

Hi Bryan
Your asking me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've only ever caught one fish in my life and that threw itself on my hook as a reward and in gratitude for all the food i'd supplyed all day to its relatives

As for the licence I did'nt have one and was told after the event i should have had

i will be buying an annual one before this meet proberbly from the link provided above
The rules of the lake will have to be observered of course but we can make the rest up on here with regard to simple things like is it numbers or weight that wins etc, no bait boats no dynamite no barbed hooks and so on we should i think take the lead from some of our experianced fishy men on here, and as they offer advise we can ask why they are not booked for the meet

OK if are we serious about this fishing match? I suggest the following needs to be done.
1. Has Pammy asked about us holding a match

2. How many PEGS (not pitches Pammy) do we need?

3. Which day are we holding the match?

4. Can't see any info on the web as to rules for fishing. Any info on this?
5. The winner is normally the best aggregate weight over an agreed time scale, but it can be anything we decide on. The biggest fish, the smallest fish, the most species caught ..... no prizes for hooking trees, lake bottom or old boots though

Stuff the actual competition, I'm only doing it so I can pose with a thermos flask and a load of butties...

I know I've got a stick and some string and a safety pin in the garage, so I'm almost ready...Just need to dig up some worms from the herbacious border now

Geo · 13-05-2008, 09:51 PM

Sorry I forgot I would suggest 8-10 pegs and will contact site for basic lake/bait rules if any
Geo

You, Bryan & myself, we have three so we have a match. Lets go for it, I'm sure others will be along once the word gets around
