I was just reviewing what the SPRITE organisation had done for urban trout fishing in Sheffield during 2011 and that lead me to a link about an Irwell barbel stocking on a blog called fishing fiend. I followed a link to your blog from there and I have just spent a most enjoyable couple of hours while the wife has some Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434444638382567172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197778115917889421.post-83009937953599704202011-12-21T19:26:32.248+00:002011-12-21T19:26:32.248+00:00I'm petrified.
