Mick Telling Memorial - Farmers and Brimslade

An annual event that I organise in memory of my late dad.  Unfortunately this year it clashed with a lot of matches and people had to cancel (which is fair enough) and a few that forgot to tell me.....

The canal looked spot on at Brimslade, but Farmers was maybe 18 inches down!  Also there is repairs at Croften, therefore the canal is closed,which meant no boats!!  However, this will mean no water movement and therefore fish harder.

I personally didn't fish today, but walked around and took a few photos and a bit of filming, which I enjoyed but was concerned of "skylining" .
