[] Some Nice Pictures there Barry mate, that was my local fishing ground for over 25 years, at one time Icould have dropped you onto All the decent pegs, and according to prevailing weather conditions could have told you if it was worth tackling up or not, both streches are well worth fishing, and many will be surprised at the stamp and quality of the fish caught, I have many many hours of plesurable memories of fishing both stretches.[:T][:T][:T]
