If there's anyone out there who comes from Maidstone Kent or nearabouts please get in contact. Fishing destinations currently include Tenterden, Woodchurch and Bewl.

Thanks.

Paul.

Hi Macca

Join the Bewl Bridge Fly Fishers - you'll meet and get to fish with plenty of great anglers as well as everything else the club has to offer. See the link below...

Quite a few forum members are also BBFC members.

Cheers

I get out and about a fair bit Macca - welcome aboard the board by the way!
If Bewl is your thing you won't go far wrong following Gillaroo's advice. I could do with it myself after my performance last Sunday!

A few of the Kent contingent got together a while back fo a day at Stowting which was thoroughly enjoyable, even if the fishing was a little slow... I'll drop you a pm if anything like that recurs and you haven't picked up on it on the forum.

There's always the socials - easy enough to share transport.

Drop me a p.m. next time you're off to Tenterden or Woodchurch - I've not fished T. for ages and have yet to try W'church (so maybe you could teach me a thing or two). Have to be after the social tho' as I'm a bit booked up 'till then.

All the best,
Kev

Hi Kev and Gillaroo,

Thanks for the welcome and advice. 7 years ago I was involved in a serious road accident. I spent 7 months in hospital but luckily regained use of my legs. I had some head damage and its meant I had to give up my licence. I was hoping to find someone from Maidstone to fish with so that I got out and about more. I have a fishing partner but I am tied to when and where he wants to go. I joined the Bewl Fly Fishers club and really enjoy the Bewl Angle magazine I get. I was thinking about writing in and explaining my situation but lost heart. I will have another think about contacting the BBFF and see if any members live near by.

Will definately let you know Kev when the next trip to Tenterden is going to be. The fishing has been terrible with the high water temperature,soon as it cools of I'm sure there will be some good sport.

Macca.

Ja - do so. Like I say, booked out until after the social - but more than happy to meet up after that.
Maidstone, for me, is sort of en route to some of the waters around locally - so I'm sure we could sort some lifts out. I'll give you a PM early next month.

Macca,

I'm in Rochester mate - but working away from home for the next few weeks. Woodchurch and Tenterden are both places I like, I'll drop you a line when I get back to Kent.

Cheers,

Nice one mate, now the weathers called off the fishing should improve dramatically.

Hope to fish with you soon.
