My Dad was a great fisherman back in the day in Chicago. He had his biggest catches mounted and hung up on the wall of his den.
The taxidermist he used did a fantastic job I thought. You can hardly see any of the bullet holes.

I booked my ticket for the Riverfest qualifier at Sprotborough again today - fished it last year and loved it. Fabulous river, friendly locals and great banter on the bank. If you havent fished this river - it is well worth the journey.

Une très belle pêche à la longue coulée que j'apprends dans "la Sèvre nantaise", thanks Allan

[aljohnson]

Great advice. IWhere did you get your fish basket?

[stevewales]

Is the day tickets available on the bank or local somewhere? Also where is it best to park. I must have driven past there many a time and often wondered what the fishing was like, looks perfect for a stick session.

Hard to imagine that the Don was one of the worst polluted rivers in Europe back in the late 70s early 80s

[ishystep]

Interested to know how deep that swim is Alan? Are you fishing top, mid or full depth?
The swim i fished on the Don was over 7M deep!
