chew tickets

Did you see in the Angling Times that someone paid £880 on Ebay for a days boat fishing on Chew Valley.

It got me thinking what would poeple here pay for a days fishing. There is a lake in Ireland that charges 100 Euro

for a days boat fishing.

Is that Castle Lesley Psion?

Yes it is. I fished there (Loch Glass) a few years ago when you could fish if you stayed at the lodge. Last year I try to negotiate two days fishing for €100 and staying at the lodge for two nights - they nearly said yes but knocked me back at the last minute!
It was a shame as it is a really nice place to fish with lots and lots of good size pike.

It was the people that run Chew that had at least 4 ads on ebay ebay yes one went for £880 😨😨😨 next one went for £400 plus can't remember full amount but it was well over £400 I think they are getting too greedy plus it's not fair to everyone that we're day on the phone for hours or even says trying to get a ticket 😩 There's some desperate people out there trying to catch a monster pike 😕 not my idea of piking

Greed and more Greed. Its a shame its come to that kind of money but I guess top quality in anything is expensive They used to stock lots of Pike in there Psion from all round Ireland. All the small trout waters have a few matches a year and remove all Pike caught, usually big ones too. Last week a 34lb was caught and put in a local canal FFS.

6 more days ended today all but 1 went for around £250, not as bad as £880 he must be kicking himself now

ha ha ha ha just seen on BW web site, boats for monday cancelled due to high winds first day of season guy pays £880 only to get blown off so pleased for him . so tuesday will now be first day of season and the tickets for that day sold for £350. £880 guy must be really gutted now, will have to wait and see if he can have another day later in season

Will he get his money back?

not sure if he will or not, i know in the past they try to re arange another day

£880 to get blown off!😊
