Hi all Lunatics has anybody had the temerity to bag a springer, has there been much of a rod effort how have conditions been up in the Lune valley ??? Given a bit of rain and the saying you won't catch if your line isn't wet is a trip up from darkest Cheshire worth the cost and effort ?? Thanks Lez
P.S. can you get day tickets on Luneside this year??

 

[crewesader6]

Not had the chance to get out and not head of anythig....hopefully yesterdays lift will help and we have rain forecast all week

Thanks Dave I will ask again soon as we have had a fair bit of rain in Cheshire last couple of days and gauges have let me down last season or too.

 

[crewesader6]

Hope so last year seemed a little better given a bit of the wet stuff who knows......

 

[crewesader6]

Considering the lack of rod effort and water am I a glass half full angler or are things not getting worse maybe even better ??

 

[crewesader6]

Yes we can't trust it but heard a long term weather forecast today we are in for a long hot dry summer with really hot spells, we had 25% of normal rain in March let's hope like me often they are wrong.....

Beautiful fish Smoggy, looks fresh from pictures I am itching to wet a line...

 

[crewesader6]

Halton deeps are holding all the fish, it seems we will have a two week season given the lack of water...lack of fish lack of water equals lack of fishing effort, it's going to be an amazing two weeks come September Sedbergh Tebay way !!

The purpose four years of work on the M6 bridges along the Lune around Tebay will be aright pain for the fishing around there and travelling up and down the M6 in that area.

My Dad a resident of Orton fished the top end man and boy, he always said the big runs and the BIG FISH ended when the road came as they say in Tebay and surrounding villages so more engineering works need to be monitored by the E.A.

It's been reported fish have been seen dying, or dead, in the river below Hornby.The reason put forward is water temperature, and oxygen depletion.
Bad news.😢

My local river in Nantwich Cheshire the Weaver over the last couple of days has had a MASSIVE fish kill, thousands of Chub, Bream Roach, Rudd, Perch ,Pike the river is smelling like a cow shed yes no rain extreme heat is not good and some fish will succomb , but it's obviously slurry a few of us local anglers were there with waders landing nets scooping drowning fish and putting them in the wier pool with hopefully more oxygen, I have to praise the E.A. they have been doing a aeration operation for two days lots of equipment and 10 or so opperatives. So praise where praise is due....

Could that be a brown trout and not a tourist? Either way its a belter of a fish. Well done. Ive seen and caught big brownies up to 5/6lb whilst fishing for salmon on big dirty waters.

Always someone who will want to destroy your fun....if the back end run still exists, this year we HAVE to find out..???

 

[crewesader6]

Just watch a clip on the news when I was in Whitby last week.They were saying all the Bridges there were in bad shape needing urgent work on them and it was going to be a h four year job.

Bridges on our critical infrastructure and our rivers are much less important than 4 star hotels...

One fish on here, whether a brave sea trout or a long skinny Brownie, we are in September as a boy 80,90s I was catching fish on course tackle up at Tebay....😢😢🤔🤔

It's crazy one fish whether it had an easyJet ticket or not is FUXIN sad..... SPEAK UP ANGLERS

 

[crewesader6]

Sounds to me unless there's a miracle it's been a terrible year for angling, I just hope the water does come and the fish can get to where they need to be to build their Reds and continue the lineage of a once great Salmon river....a beautiful river would not be the same without it's tourists...

 

[crewesader6]

I'm not trying to destroy anybodies fun just an observation you liked!!!!😂😂

Sorry pal didn't mean to offend anyone, I am not an expert, I could have chosen better words...

 

[crewesader6]

Funny that I have carried many a tile and slate and felt and batoned up a ladder back in the day when health and safety and H.R. were not yet dreamt up, Thanks and good luck Lez...

It's extortionate p

No worries, I'm slating a roof in ATM and am getting soaked. Just hope this rain will be enough to give a decent lift. Same story every year now no water in summer to speak of. I dropped out of a good club on the Tyne a few years ago because £800 for half a dozen visits in the backend fishing for coloured fish didn't seem like good value. Woe is me😢😢😉

Extortionate, I used to fish Luneside between the weirs but only day ticket, the money they were asking for a yearly ticket you would have to roof St Paul's to pay for it and that was one day on one day of, but it's collapsed much like the runs of fish on our beautiful Lune and it's a free for all now I see neherdowells throwing flying CS and nobody there to call them to account never mind ask them for there rod licence !! Sign of the times... but I am still maintaining the fish in question was a tourist 😉😉

 

[crewesader6]

If their is a few fish must be a Unicorn coming in next wildlife photo's....🤔🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

 

[crewesader6]

Would be interesting to hear how many a few is ?? More than the three photos TAA I guess ??

 

[crewesader6]

Well the scores on the doors is Master caster 5 Rest of the world 6 ....I call that a result and final whistle hasn't gone... thanks for the reply Lez
