I have at last received my ticket for the above waters, but as I am unfamiliar with these waters I would be most appreciative if any members could give me recommendations on where and when to fish.
Or if any of you would like to show me the fishing’s or are looking for a fishing partner please contact me.
I can provide transport and am available weekdays
Many thanks in advance

Braveheart me old Scottish mate.
Welcome back to the Forums!!!!!!! I miss your inane postings.
Couple of points:
Go fishing by yourself, I promise the ghost of the Haggis will not get you, though I pray it will
You might at some time learn that the TEXT indicates where you should put your text.
Thanks for giving me a hand to move my furniture into the conservatory.
Now please come and help me move it back again

Dear mr dun, I thank you for your somewhat inaccurate welcome to the forums (I left the previous forum never to return, which I have not done as this is a new forum ;D)
I am not afraid of the ghost of the haggis ::)nor any other ghost for that matter, my search for a fishing partner is to aid me in my familiarisation of the said waters, you can’t beat local knowledge, and also much as I enjoy solitude at times when fishing I also enjoy the camaraderie and knowledge sharing that comes with a fishing partner.
Regarding your request for help to return your finest bone china etc to your living room as I have started this week to redecorate my stairs (3 storey house) I am sad to say that for the foreseeable future I will be otherwise occupied and thus will be unable to assist you.

 Dear Bravefart, I am sorry that you are unable to attend and help me to move the furniture back into my living room after the awful intrusion by the carpet fitters. I was thinking (I am English, therefore able to think - unlike your race) that I could sit in my armchair sipping a single malt whilst you moved all furniture back in by yourself to be rewarded by a glass of water once you had finished. The disadvantage of being shown waters by others is that they will either: a) show you the worst areas hoping to keep the better areas for themselves, or b) will be totally honest but prejudised accrding their fishing ability. Where they are unable to cast will be called a bad spot, though it might be very productive were they able to reach it with their cast. I wish you luck with papering the walls of your stairway. Do not paste Sally behind the wall paper otherwise you will starve with your cooking abilities.

Dear mr Dun, having a fishing partner brings many advantages which out-weigh any shortfalls in their ability/preferences. When one learns to alienate themselves from any feelings of jealousy and suspicion regarding the ability’s or motives of a fishing partner then one can soon reap the benefits of a lifelong friend and fishing partner. Regarding your single malt, although Scottish I am not particularly fond of whisky so water would be fine. Whilst on occasions during my married life I have thought of pasting my good lady behind the wallpaper she, like a fishing partner is a source of inspiration, companionship and much love. So therefore I have always resisted any temptation to silence her, instead being thankful for the many years of companionship we have had and will have together, she like a fishing partner bring many benefits to my life which far out-weigh any short falls she may be perceived to have. |

"like a fishing partner is a source of inspiration, companionship and much love."
It is the "much love" part which worries me. Had I known I would never have shown the wonders of Chalk Stream fishing. I shall ensure I am wearing my Chest Waders the next time I fish the same river as yourself - and I'll keep my back to the bushes. lol
It is good to see your views appearing again on a forum..
Do not let your old protagonist grind you down again - just chuck a haggis at him instead.

It is good that you wear chest waders mr dun otherwise I would not know which end was which, but fear not anyway, I can assure you I have no sexual leanings of any sort towards the male of the species and besides when I am fishing my only thoughts concern fishing and nothing else.
As for my old protagonist I wish him well and hope he has many wonderful days fishing ahead of him this season and beyond.
And on a serious note I will once again thank you for introducing me to the wonders of chalk stream fishing, an introduction that filled a hole in my life I never knew existed. ;D

JME,
you are the one who should know that love is sweet due to your many love affairs with the trees and bushes on the Dever. I understand that due to me grassing you up to your wife (re: love with the trees / bushes) a divorce is in the offing. lol.
Glad you had a great time in the US of A and look forward to seeing you on the Dever weekend after next

I shall be citing you in the divorce as your insistence on emulating my fishing in trees is causing much jealousy.

jamie,
I believe you should read the report on my new method more carefully.
I do not get CAUGHT in any trees.
I PRETEND to have been caught thus fooling the fish into thinking I am no immediate threat to them and "conning" them into grabbing my fly when it is chucked somewhere within a 9 ft radius of them.
BTW, I am a little surprised that you have not managed to get your avatar initialised.
See you on the Test later today.

I managed to witness your technique and was amazed at your ability to loose flies. This may be part of your "greater" strategy to get the fish used to certain patterns by hanging them in trees and bushes, however I wish you would loose your own flies. I will now have to spend hours at the vice replacing all those flies.

Why have a dog and bark yourself?
It is not me who begins the losing of flies. It is you who is the cause of it.
Fishing is all about enjoying yourelf at the rivers edge, casting to and hopefully catching targetted fish.
It is NOT about swigging as many bottles of wine as you are able during the extended lunch break.
(Will 1/2 doz bottle of "Waitrose Good Ordinary Claret" be sufficient for the next "fishing trip - my ture to bring it I think???)

Dear Bravefart,
