iv been course fishing on rivers lakes and canals for as long as i can remember.
but due to a rather bad leg break i had t take a break for a good few months so i didnt bother renewing my rod licence last year as there was no point paying for a full year when i would only get about 2 months out of it.

me and my father inlaw had decided to go down to the river tomorrow to try and get me started on fly fishing.
he fly fishes but has been away from it for a while and jumped at the chance to get out for the day.
so after going out today to stock up on a few bits we both needed and if im honest some bits we didnt.
we decide to go for a few drinks (as you do) and i didnt make it to the post office in time to get my day licence.
no problem i said il do it on line when i get home,
only to find i cant do it on line now because of the big overhaul to the licencing system.

needless to say im not very happy with my self at the moment
and only god knows when im going to get another chance to go.
