    I've only just joined the forum and delighted to see that there is an angling thread with regular contributors - “honest, civil, quiet men” so Isaak Walton described anglers. I both fish for Trout and Grayling in the rivers of Dorset and Wiltshire and occasionally venture out onto the briny for Bass. I look forward to reading about your adventures and successes!
    Nice to find a fellow cigar smoker and fisherman down in the South West. I am in Wiltshire, between Devizes and Trowbridge and usually fly fish (lockdown permitting). Where in Dorset are you? Aha- just read your "Newbie greet" from Poole I see

      At the moment, I'm the complete antithesis of a cigar smoker and my introduction to the forum will explain why. However to address that issue, I have devised a 'cunning plan' to visit Rockbourne when it opens on 29 March to not only fish but actually provide the opportunity for my first cigar! To directly answer your enquiry, I live in Poole and I am a member of Sadac & a club on the River Wylye near Wilton.

      • Hi Dorestman, I see we will soon be neighbours, we we are selling up & moving to the Bournemouth area. Hopefully we can meet up, cast a line & share a smoke or two.

          I look forward to that, I hope the house move goes well and there will be opportunities for fishing

          • Last Sunday was the last day of the English River Season & I was back out on the River Avon, near Ibsley Bridge.
            For some reason I couldn't upload my photo's then so hopefully I can do now & close the season out. I did fish a couple of pits on Mon & Tues but blanked. That'll be it for me until last weekend of May, when the Dutch Predator season commences.

            So, I had put a few chopped up old baits in the big slack yesterday, hoping to attract more fish to hold in rhe area.

            Had an early start & was cast out & having breackfast by 07:40. 08:20, on that gorgeous morning & the first run was away. I actually saw the rod tip bounce & the line pinged out of the drop back clip & the alarm buzzed quietly (no need to have it set louder when you sit on the rods).

            Winding down I connected with a hard fighting fish, that amazed me how long ot managed to fight with the strength of the current, more powerful than the prev wk. I chose to walk it up to the next swim as I had struggled to net the prev dble, with the current & bankside vegetation.

            At the upstream swim, a semi-circular cut away swim, enabled me to land the best fish of my stay. Next day celebrated with a CCE.

            Couple of hrs later & another jack was banke

            My 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 PB of 14lb's still stands but I am confident it will fall before this time next season.

                I have tales of Esox - a friend who enjoyed catching them but always ensured another friend unhooked and released it - he was frightened to death of them!

                    • Following a four month long lockdown, Rockbourne Trout fishery reopened today and the Trout were very obliging. The New Forest surroundings together with the wonderful weather made it an outstanding first day of freedom, and all the while serenaded by birdsong and other wildlife stirring in the Spring sunshine. What an occasion to experience my very first cigar - an Upmann half Corona and what a result - truly a reward cigar!

                        Excellent! Couldn't have suggested a better backdrop to your first Havana. If you enjoyed the HUHC, which is a fine wee smoke, then I am just as certain you'll enjoy the others in your selection too. Any pic's of the fishery, trout & cigar?

                          I must find out how to upload photos....but on this occasion I didn't take any snaps but will do so in the future.

                          • Uploading can be a bit of a pain, I use tapatalk but have to crop pictures or they are too large to upload. Once cropped it usually works OK. That's a shame though, wish I had a pic of my first cigar, on my 18th Christmas, or even my first Havana at circa 34yo..

                            • Well, as I’m here fir five weeks, I’ve brought a bit of kit and just acquired my permit for two weeks here before I move towards the West coast.
                              I can’t wait to cast a fly again, it’s been well over 25 years!

                                Great news, keep us abreast of your success. I have caught a few Bow's from still waters but never from a river, sure that's gonna be more challenging.
