[QUOTE="Northantslad, post: 2627168, member: 18094"] You want to see busy Mick, take a trip to Highley. Compounded 2 years ago with other areas going to BAA membership, heaped the pressure on the day ticket ones. Then the recent boom heaped it on further. Doesn't matter when you head down there, chap i know went on a Tuesday the other week, arriving 7.30am, and took the only peg left on a half mile stretch. Arrived the other day personally at 6am on a Friday morning, to 4 bivvied up on the beaches, another night angler in the car park peg, two others who had arrived and got in ok. Add to that the 5 of us then getting pegs, then two cars of 4 anglers arriving at 8am and the stretch is full. And all this when the conditions and the form is poor! Not a case of sour grapes as i blanked either, i am always happy as the pig in its favourite environment on the Severn, but and compounded by the old beer cans evident in some of the pegs and other rubbish, i can't believe i am saying it, but.................i may be falling out of love with some of these places. I didn't take up river fishing and specifically Barbel fishing to then experience the very circus i found on some commercials. [/QUOTE]
