Re: Fishing
I dug my rod out last month and started fishing again At the moment, I have only tried the canal at Clayton (shallow and overgrown with weeds but pulled out a decent size bream) Carnforth, (Couldn't stop pulling out small perch) and Foulridge (must have picked a bad time of the day - or the fish were told I was coming )
I am trying out Blackburn tonight and Willow is tagging along She promises to be quiet

Re: Fishing
I fish all over the place locally, but tend to stick to a place at Charnock Richard called German Lane that's stacked out with Carp and Tench (the obvious giveaway in my signiture name!!)
I was a member of Hyndburn & Blackburn A.A. up until a few years ago, but gave up membership due to various demands upon my time!!! From what I've heard,they've (H & B A.A.) lost a fair few waters. Anyone on here a member ????

The last time I fished Kearns Allens (which was some 3 years or so ago) the bottom lodge seemed to fish better and was quite popular. Don't know if that's still the case tho!!

Re: Fishing
What's that bit like down round the back of Express Gifts?
Up near Blackburn Asda was a bit of a non-event.
