The Glorious Sixteenth

At midnight tonight the new coarse fishing season will begin. My start will be a slightly more sedate affair. After a large cup of tea I will cast a line in the morning and hope there will be no need for a brolly. I fear the scene may look like the John Nash drawing below. Rain, high winds and more rain. Never mind, there's always a chance. Bestest fishes to all. Casus ubique valet.
