Used to go on the Sunday coaches from Grices, poached a bit (a lot actually) at Greasbro' Dams, sneaked into Ravenfield Ponds for carp a few times (think Steelos had the lease?) and fished Elsecarr but don't remember ever catching anything there. Once bought a licence to fish for salmon on the Lune; cost a lot and never had a bite.
Would that be Jack Grice ? What a great guy.I used to go fishing with Jack and the Rotherham Co-Op angling section - great days.Currently fishing river Idle and River Ryton - great little rivers and not forgetting the rejuvenated river Dearne - free fishing and full of minted fish which have never been caught before- had 6 LB barbel last year.Idle is fishing well but you need to find a place where you can actually get to the water.Tight lines !
