Monnow Social: 2009

Posted under Fishing Trips

Amazing, awesome, funny, honoured, privileged, humbled, drunk, wild trout…these are just a few words to explain the weekend and it’s participants; my eternal thanks to you all.

For now (and after four consecutive days spent fishing and camping) I am absolutely shattered and in desperate need of sleep, so I’m off to bed. In the mean time, here’s a little taster for you…more pictures and a report to follow…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

    Sounds like a cracking week-end; nice photos!

    I’m eagerly awaiting a full report and few more photos!

    Hope you recover soon from that enjoyable ordeal!

    Really enjoyed your company at the weekend Gareth – it’s always a pleasure to spend time with you mate . Thanks for the flies , that was very generous of you and I’m certain they’ll catch me loads of fish. For those that didn’t attend , the bottom picture is a fraction of the empties from the first night !!!!!!!!!!
    Looking forward to next years event already .

    Thanks guys, was indeed another fantastic weekend, and a big thanks for both your companies :) I’m just a little sad that it came and went so quickly.

    Dan, flies were my pleasure mate! Just made up a few more CDC & Elks with me new present, I love it! It’s awesome! Drinks on me soon hopefully mate :D

    Grizz, I was more worried about his electrical ‘implements’ haha Yesterday was hard going for me, what with that mammoth hangover! Left at 4pm but managed another ten after you left, and I hooked into two MONSTERS! Nearly loaded the pants on one! And the Honddu again is a must…I’m gonna be there for moral support when you catch your monster ;)

    Another cracking weekend !!! I just wanted to add my sincerest thanks to you Gareth,Dan and Geraint for putting up with me for a few days. It really is the quality of the company that makes it special and without you guys I would be a billy no-mates. I’m truly pleased that you guys had a great time too, despite backs and knees !!!
    cheers

    Dan, I thought it best to leave off some of the more ‘incriminating’ photos haha I might just get them printed on t-shirts for next year’s event! haha

    Alistair, thankfully, that was the amount drunk my the group…although I shudder to think how much I contributed to it! lol
