Help- ideas required

[paul]

I am being inducted into the arcane rituals of spey casting.

Sadly I cannot practice this dark art on the field between my house and the graveyard- water is required.

After lesson 1, boy do I need to practice, probably in one hour stints.

I live in Silverton.

Does anyone know of a bit of water nearby, still or flowing, where I might gain permission to cast without disturbing others and if so who owns it!

Thoughts so far are Exeter Canal- but its a long way- or one of the lake fisheries north or west of Tiverton- again away and the freezers pretty full!

Help much appreciated, Paul

Hi Paul how about the Tiverton canal

Treefella,

Thanks for the very bright idea. I scurried up there today; the bit by the main basin near Tiverton itself is a bit public; not that IO haven't got a thick skin, but I'd probably be a danger in the early stages of practice!

But I did find another spot halfway to Halberton and another near Halberton itself which would work well if there weren't any roach fanciers plying their trade.

Thats a good start if I'm heading north for the day. Any other ideas warmly welcomed.

Paul

Fed up with trout fishing are we Paul???

Before long you'll be turning your nose up at 13 inchers and the only place anyone will be able to find you is Scotland. ;D
