"Wildfisher"

Thanks for letting me know  :cool:

"Jedi"

Thanks Jim, that's you confirmed. There is space for David in the morning now if you like ( I'll put his name there ) as I think you usually share the car?
If you have already spoken to him and he has made arrangements to come in the afternoon, please let me know.  :?:

Title: And the bad news is...
Post by: Euan Innes on 15/09/2006 at 11:22

That there will be no chilli!  :sad:

Once again the fishing has to be put on hold due to work. I'm off to Kirkcudbright for a week to do some filming and we travel on the sunday.
Bugger, bugger, bugger!!!

Just once I'd like to get fishing this year before it snows. Ah well think of the money....

Cheers,

Euan  :z1

"Kipps" Kerr ( and therefore juniors Darren Kerr and Cameron ) have had to cancel for Sunday.

I have decided to change the format and the gathering will now be from 9.30am to 6.00pm.

Pricing will be as per normal 5 hour tickets, but you can fish the whole gathering, or come and go when you like.

Soooooo ......... we have space for three more float tubes if anybody else would like to come along  :?:

Post by: Kev Danby on 21/09/2006 at 09:18

Would love to hop on the Tube but hopefully on Sunday I'll be latching into some pike / perch south of the border. If on Friday the river Dove is at a reasonable level there may also be chance of a grayling or barbel on the fly. Fingers crossed.

Have a great day.

So .............. there is still one place available for Sunday.
