it is indeed Fred, a damp miserable day, compounded by lack of fish

It is a lovely piece of water, I remember once I thought about fishing it. As you know we have rod exchanges between Ribblesdale A.A and Tebay Anglers. I had fished around the pools further upstream above the Yorkshire Bridge and on my way home on that top road going to Sedburgh when I stopped, got out of the car to look at the river way down in the valley, and set off down the very steep and long hill to fish it. Stopping I thought to myself, its too late in the afternoon as I think it was either late September or early October and the light was just beginning to fade, and being on my own considered the possibility of anything happening and being stranded down there. So I never did fish it sadly. .

At my age (north of 70), I work on the principle of “if I’m not sure about that, I’ll file it under unsafe”. This also applies particularly to wading! This enables me to have a nice warm safe feeling on the drive home..

Every time I am driving passed the fair mile on the M6 it reminds me of the one and only time I fished the Fair Mile. Parked up on the Sedbergh road on a warm day at the top of the mile walked down the short path to the river, then fished happily away the pools down the river. When I had finished instead of walking back up on the river bank to the car I had the bright idea of a quicker way straight up the hill to walk back on road. Trouble is the the hill there turned out to be more a mountain climb than a hill climb when eventually the road was reached I was sweaty wreck.

I think that is near Howgill Head / Midge Hole and just where the gas pipe goes under- a great couple of pools
