what makes your ideal swim?

[Mark Gaskell]

Is it a snag ? a overhanging tree? etc etc

 

[David Hall]

some barbel

 

[Ian Crook]

Just in between the car park and the cafe with lots of Barbel that haven't been pressured.

 

[John Walker]

my ideal swim is right next to the Bar-B-Q at the gathering point
only problem is the lingering smell in me bivvy of sweaty socks being ritually toasted

 

[Lee Iley]

Duno really what my ideal swim would be a deep gulley maybe. Or were there is a nice deep run with plenty of flow.

 

[Dave Gaskell]

One no one else knows about

 

[Chris Jones]

Fish, everything else is just icing on the cake.

 

[Richard Mawson]

My ideal swim is the local nudist bathing spot but seeing as its a beach on the south coast I doubt I will catch any barbel...

My serious answer however is a nice steady deeper glide between streamer weed on a gravel bottom.

 

[Keith Speer]

Used to fish a swim on The Thames that had a large hut opposite, this hut was bought by a Naturist club.......this could be most distracting.

One day they were all out in the sunshine and it started to rain, they all dashed in?................................................And came out wearing see through packa macs!!

I did not think I would ever stop laughing

 

[Phil Adams]

Where exactly was that Keith? Would like to know so I can avoid the area.

That did make me laugh.

'Others must see our bodies. Get the see-through gear on quick! They will see us in the buff whether they like it or not!'

 

[Simon Haggis]

Favourite swim would have to be about a mile from where anyone else can be bothered to walk to so I, and the fish, get left alone.

Yours, miserably, Simon

He's not kidding either, even grows and plants his own 6ft high nettles to keep others away

 

[Paul Hamer]

Somewhere were other anglers could'nt fish from opposite side and held lots of fish

 

[Stuart Prescott]

[Stuart Prescott]

[Clive Kenyon]

It's good if there is some water next to the bank.
