Rain!!

[Nigel Whittingham]

Long range forecasts are giving a good spell of rain/sun from this weekend into June so hopefully we might have a reasonable start to the season
Not been out during the closed season due to a big project at home so am itching to get going again now i’m free. Was fearing the usual disappointing start with a trickle on the Severn & baking hot sun but this time next month …..(Rodney)

We can start practising the rain dance ...now!

[Andrew Richardson]

Is that it? I've p***ed more up the wall on a good session

 

[Neil Smart]

How do you get away with calling ‘er indoors’ a ‘big project’? I had my nose rearranged for much less……

Blink and it's gone

Remember a few years back when Severn was out the banks at the start of the season. Gave it a couple of weeks to drop low enough to fish the peg I’d been looking forward to fishing and ended up catching the most I’d ever had in one session. Only fished 2 hours 20 minutes cause I ran out of bait as I’d forgotten to put my pellets back in my bag and got through 5 tins of meat catching 14 barbel and losing 3. Longest i had to wait for a bite was between casts was about 2 minutes

2012 The summer that never was, the severn was brim full with water and barbel.
Opening day the only river that was fishable local was the Arrow, caught a barb first cast, crazy times.

Looking like a reasonable bit of rain next week, hopefully freshen it up for the start
