This popped into my head on the way into work today. How jealous I was of those Yorkshire anglers who had a two week head start on the rest of us.
Then the week after looking forward to the AM and AT to see what was caught. Sad thing is, it only seems like yesterday to me.
Christ I must be getting old.

Re: The Stolen Fortnight
Yes they were happy days on the 1st June. Used to fish the stillwaters more back then. Certain areas on the local river were still off-limits until late June (still are in the bye-laws) due to them being spawning areas. These days it doesn't stop the portable barbeque brigade though.
