I bought the wife a car, we've got nice woodchip wallpaper painted magnolia all through the house (class like that never goes out of fashion) and I got a job lot of paving slabs a few years ago!

Can't get out of the last one i'm afraid!

The farm as I call it is the piece of water DRAC have just down from the McDonalds on the A50. There is a lay bay on the other side just before the turnoff. Hopefully I will see you on it some time on it during the year. Its handy for me as I have top travel from the other side of leicester.

Yes i know where you mean now, i did a short session there last year and took some nice size grayling, i found the wading a bit dodgy in places, but will be giving some more time there, let me know when you go again

Thanks for that Gary, oh how we laughed, well our kid did anyway

Anyway that's put a smile on my face I still have nightmares of when my left leg went down and down and down. Pity you don't have the pic after I'd hung my clothes to dry - Just the waders, a real deliverance with banjo's and everything.
That day there were several out of season course anglers along DRAC stretch, I remember them well as I pondered on a return to my course box after seeing them all comfortable and dry. I suppose some might say DRAC beats are unkempt, uncared for, or wild depending on how you look at it .
I've just had prescription bifocals for fishing so I imagine a few more dips coming this season while tripping over things

Salmon who said Salmon
