As far as I know there's no restriction. I travelled 65 miles to Stafford the other day and I'll be driving 77 miles to the Wye on June 15th.
Talking of which, we got a call yesterday to ask if Mortimer and Whitehouse could film an episode on the beat we've booked on 16th June which, of course, we said they could. I won't name the beat but, suffice to say, the film crew have earmarked the best swim for the shoot.
As for me, had my 27th session since November on a Leamington AA lake. It really is easy but as usual the fish had the last laugh. I was having the mandatory "one last cast" before packing up and caught a decent roach which I returned and absent-mindedly dropped the hook back into the water right at the side. I turned round to put my bait boxes away and fold up my chair only to turn back and see my rod sliding scross the platform. I picked up the rod and lifted into the fish but....nothing. Surely impossible to miss. The fucker was hooked !!
Nevertheless, I decided to have another "last cast", put on fresh maggots and dropped it in a couple of feet from the platform. Whilst I sat on the boards. Sure enough, I got a bite, struck and off it shot, tearing line from the reel but was well under control. After the initial run, I thought it was time to apply some pressure whereupon the rod bent into a healthy curve. Just as I allowed myself to think "gotcha", the rod bounced back and my float, hook, the works, shot back into a tree from which I could not extract it without breaking my favourite close-range float in the process.
Fishing !!@$@#@!
