2022 - December 31st , New Years Eve - A visit to the new 'Fish Pass' constructed at the top of the town

I decided to purchase a season ticket like the previous two years so i am able to try and enjoy premier class fishing . The only problem sometimes is the anglers around you who insist in casting in your peg on occasions plus i also have to suffer the sight of some deplorable treatment of fish and grand scale removable of prime fish by the 'Foreigners' 

Oh well , lets see if something can be done about this 'rape' of fish stocks when there is no need . Fishing is about enjoyment , pictures of your fish and treating the species with some form of dignity . 

Home to many species like : Bream , Bjorkna , Ide , Roach , Rudd , Bleak , Perch , Tench , Vimma , Pike , Burbot , Zander , various Herrings on occasions , Eel , Dace and odd Chub .

 

Ummm .......Fishing not allowed from the car park bank yet last summer i saw many fishing it ? 

The Project and the facts ........Vad Kosta ? .....in Millions SEK ?

View from the first bend in the river - Our Eldest daughter , Jenny was married there .

View downstream from the first bend as it enters the main town 

What is this in the water ? Some sort of technical capture 'thing' that might be analysing water quality/life?

Walking back up the steeper bank and great view of the water courses on the far side - looks great to fish from ........ummm Summer project  👍😃

Next to viewing station where Otters and Trout have been spotted 

Very nice construction - will it flow like this in the Summer ?

The Overflow stream providing plenty of water flow but expect to be a lot less in Summer

Overflow pipe feeding a smaller stream

Decided to head into town opposite the Bohmans Hotel .........Needed to go !!!... Open ? .... No !!!!

Toilets not Open .........you need to be a boater only , public toilets dont exist to i will use the local tree 

Lets view the water for potential fishing tomorrow ?

Nearside still iced up but fishable to the right 

This is the place i shall cast a line tomorrow - small feeder and a pole line , if i catch then great but if not then the fresh air will be just as nice .

Wind coming at me a little but mostly behind ........     colder tomorrow but less wind and some sunshine for midday 

The Arena of death ........ this is the area where i have witnessed the most gross indecency towards fish species . I have seen foreign types fill buckets of big bream and Ide with some Perch . We are talking big plastic buckets full as they ignore any form of obeying the rules . This must stop and i will most weekends record this 'murder' as it needs to be exposed plus i strongly doubt most of then do not have a fishing card for this water ...........maybe they start taking the Trout , the precious ones , how will they stop this ? 

The Arena of Death , the Christians (fish) and Lions (shit awful people)

Diary of a man recognising his age yet wanting to get stronger so able to get through life - DIARY 2 - second 3 MONTHS

October , November and December and my 2nd quarter in the gym is nearly complete . I recently took a week to England enjoying a much needed meeting with the family and friends as well as some nice shopping but kept my control on the diet as i was not training in that period. I had a few beers and wines to be sociable but i paid that price of calories by eating the most meanful calorific content. 

It has become noticeable that under the guidance of the 'LEVELS - TEAM' my strength and balance has increased but my weight loss slowed down a little due to extra muscle i am taking on but the general direction is still losing weight. In this 'quarter ' i increased the training by using Saturday mornings for 2 hours repeating what i completed on my Tuesday and Thursday PT days . 

With the NEW YEAR almost upon us i now challenge myself to take off 17 kilos up to the end of June in 2023 . Its a tough task but it will be achieved as its needed for my future years so i am able to be strong in older age .

The new year will focus my energies into succeeding with my trainers Peter and Chris as i now have the pleasant situation of purchasing a new wardrobe of clothing due to my diminishing weight. In fact it was last Sunday that i bagged up half my clothing into a bag as it was Baggy clothes i do not need anymore , that is the old Phil , he has gone , the New Phil has arrived and is flourishing.
