The owner has been contacted and is happy to accommodate us on the 13 March.Let's hope it's well stocked. Can I suggest a 10am start unless some members would like to fish earlier.Incidently, the postcode for your sat nav is PR3 2NJ

I've made a note in my diary. I suspect me and Noeyedeer might want to turn up a little earlier than 10 though, frost or no frost!

I was just thinking of those who have to travel a distance and it is a sunday morning just right for a more leisurely start.
Bye the bye what flies do well on Barnsfold?

Did you organise the Kilnsey bash?,and who put you in charge?

[black knight]

Hello Sink Tip from your post I detect an air of disapproval.Hutch 6 organized the Kilnsley outing. I decided to organize one for the Lancashire anglers.In answer to your question I don't need approval. How about joining us on 13 March it promises to be a good day ?.

With a bit of luck, the back end of winter will continue to be mild and by mid March, the first of Barnsfold's legendary buzzer hatches will be underway. You may have to wait till late afternoon before the fish come right up top after emergers, but it will be worth it. The midge will be small and black - your imitations want to be #14,16 - and you'll likely need to pay close attention to the 'critical inch' as the feeding zone.
Earlier in the day, a long leader and buzzer cast will produce, along with an inter/di3 approach with mixed minis and DBs.

Don't neglect the windward bank. Tough going it might be, but you may well do better than the hoards of anglers looing for the comfort of the wind off their backs.

You should have a good day. I wish I could join you all.

chris68 is coming to the meet - I can reccomend him and you may be able to book a lesson with him in the meantime, or I believe Frank (barnsfold proprietor) also offers lessons if casting improvement is on the agenda!

(you may well laugh at mine too so don't worry)
