Yeah....but it snowed here todayYou can't ask for more than that. My equivalent would be the Grand Union Canal. Not quite the same

Just seen this, mate. I couldn’t agree more. Hell is other anglers. I’m a calm, easy going bloke in general but very little upsets me more than another person destroying my fishing peace.I was only wondering beause it looks beautiful. But I'm a really anti-social angler and seek out places where I wouldn't see anyone (except my fishing partners) for days. I love the idea of canoeing a remote river, fishing where I stop the canoe, lighting a fire and camping out.
Off again this Sunday 2nd time in two weeks Old Hough Middlewich can’t wait I’m hooked again after a 25 year break

People are noisy fuckers. Dog owners are the worst. Go out in the country for a walk and then start shouting at the top of their voice whilst the dog takes no notice. Then, when it does eventually come to them, it's all "good boy" this and "good boy" that.
That’s interesting. Part of the enjoyment of fly fishing is spending time in a boat with another angler where you can choose either to have a social day or a pretty much silent one depending on the circumstances. You also learn a great deal if you are fishing with a more experienced angler. Having said that, there are times I like to go out myself.Just seen this, mate. I couldn’t agree more.

Which stretch were you on mate ?Had a session on the Llangollen canal. It's one of the hardest places I know to get your head around.
It's stuffed with good roach, which is what we go for, but boat traffic is horrendous and the flow is like a river so you are effectively trotting. Had 11 good roach and dace in the half hour before the first boat and only 6 more fish, including 2 gudgeon in the rest of the day. Don't live close enough to get there earlier so it's very frustrating.
Every year we think there must be a "window of opportunity" between the number of boats declining to manageable proportions and when they stop altogether and the canal goes clear and the fishing dies. Just can't manage to hit it. Maybe this year.
It’s his own private Idaho ;-)Do you see other anglers or is it remote ?
