@JackPerksPhoto Will the water companies and regulators ever change, I think not while the go t stands by the system has no teeth and isn't being implemented properly. Desperate times. The amount of crap I saw in a rural stretch of the Ribble yesterday was unreal, just heartbreaking.

@SouthYeoEast I totally get this the minority spoil it for the majority so what choice do you have, maybe plant a hedge along the fence line for longer term protection of you land, eco benefits and to keep some of the critics on here in check 🤷‍♂️

@HarleyShah @Chuffyx Well said often see people on the street turn down offers of food and coffee from well meaning folk I mean how much caffeine can anyone drink in a morning. Like you I'd rather give them a few quid👍

@lesbashford Crikey crack a book🤦‍♂️

Spring getting going slowly in the #Ribble valley, no salmo seen this evening probably 24 hours too late better than being in the office though🎣

The sticks in #TheShire are #myprecious and won't be dropped under any circumstances

@BooGilbraith I loves an Abu reel especially those closed face ones that were popular with match fisherman in the 80s.

@JackSpees @iwanhoving @HermanWanningen @WWFLeadWater @WWF_FreeRivers @PaulNGaskell I don't rate the stretch above it, like a lifeless canal, never bother fishing it personally I'd be happy to see the weir go and some habitat improvement on the bit above it/below it.

[DownTheShire @DownTheShire]

@JackSpees @iwanhoving @HermanWanningen @WWFLeadWater @WWF_FreeRivers I fish this stretch I'd be happy to see it go🎣

@BooGilbraith Get yerself a Kelly kettle no cold brews in future👍

[DownTheShire @DownTheShire]

@BooGilbraith Sounds ace I was on the river last Wednesday got deer, kingfishers and an otter and a 2.5lb brownie on my kelvin shrimp wasn't bothered at not seeing any salmon with all that going on🎣

@BettinaSRoss1 Rush hour log jam

@PickardJE You'll have a job cos all the toffs in their funny red jackets have chased them all away. If he's elected there's no hope for this country.

[DownTheShire @DownTheShire]

@BooGilbraith Good luck saw plenty when I had a few sessions at Warwick Hall last year, probably better chance than the Ribble early doors👍

[DownTheShire @DownTheShire]

@loughbhoy @BooGilbraith Was on Beaumont n Grinsdale with Glyn Freeman for many years, left as it was just too far for 1 day per wk believe PASS have one of the days now. Should be good early season if the water is low good luck. Had my name down with PASS for about 4 years still haven't heard owt.

@NaomiOhReally @ChrisGreenNews @cahalmilmo Wasn't Gandalf @IanMcKellen a really nice friendly wizard who believed in inclusivity for all #youshallnotpass my arse. Total discrimination of a whole list of Irish family names. DISGUSTED.
