Crewel Hut combination?
Rod has finally been told what the combination lock is for the Crewel Pool hut- its 2411. Thanks Rod for telling us - don't suppose LAL would have bothered?

My first trip of the 2012 season!
Spent 2 nights on the river this week! There are fish about but I failed to connect with any. Thursday night was absolutely perfect except for the many other members fishing! It was warm and dry but because I had to be up for work at 5am I didn't really do it justice. Then Friday night it was windy, in fact it was very windy and it completely spoiled things! Saw Tim and had a chat but didn't see any other anglers! The local lads appear to have all had fish but of course I would be the last to know about that unless I enquire!!! Before I left on Saturday morning I saw 2 nice fish move in the car park pool!
Disappointingly early evening I discovered that my coolbox had been interfered with while I was at work and my wine stolen! Then later in the evening before I went fishing a group of 4 youths came down to the river and started fishing opposite where I park, one of which had being fishing the day before on his own and it is he I think is the one who stole my wine as I rarely if ever see anyone down on that river certainly never over my side! Anyway as they abandoned the fishing in preference for swimming I got up from my chair to see what all the commotion was and got a load of verbal abuse from them, especially the one in yellow! I hadn't said a word! I reported it to Eifion and fair play he and his wife came over and told them all off for fishing without a licence and for being disrespectful to me! Not a nice experience but I guess it was just my fault really as I have often told many of you that I had never had any problems down on the river in 25 years and that I had often left valuables out while I was off with my camera or fishing! Never again! As a youth myself I would never have been disrespectful to an elder and I don't understand why they chose me? I can only assume that they have no parents and that they have little or no respect for others? Interestingly a Committee Member Mr Wheatley came down to fish while they were fishing off the bridge and under it but he said that they were not breaking any laws??? Sad state of affairs I think!
Oh by the way a number of anglers requested a ladder to be installed above Crewel to avoid the climb! The Committee and the working party have ignored this! Also the hut at Crewel is available for use by anglers but only by those who know the combination lock code apparently? Great way to run a club?

My first trip of the new 2012 season!
Well - the Adders's have at last started sunbathing so that's my cue to go fishing! By God they are late this year - usually I will see one or two early May but the weather has been so cold and damp. Anyway I have spotted a beautiful female today at my secret location so I feel that things are warming up generally! Also Gilda and I went to see the film 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen' last night so I'm well fired up!
I'm planning my first trip of the season now! I hope to fish Thursday and Friday nights this week coming. It will be great to be on the river again and I'm really looking forward to it! Have to shoot off to work in Powys on Friday but that won't take too long! Watch this space to find out how I get on!
