Chunk and Ben 7 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi, just joined THL recently and thought it was about time i said hello. Ive been fowling for approx 22 years now and still love it today as much as i did when i first started. Im a member of the SLWC and visit the tay and findhorn for 2 to 3 weeks a year. Im a very good friend and sometimes shooting partner of WAG (think most of you know him). Theres not alot going on in this area at the moment but looking forward to going up to scotland a week on monday for a few days. I lost my shooting companion of 14 years FITZ in april who was a spanial cross lab and was an awsome fowling dog (very sad day). He has been replaced by a young black lab called ben now age 22 months and he is showing promise. Hope to share a few stories with you all soon and happy fowling Thanks chunk and ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi peter121, whats the fowling been like on the mersey this year. Its been a bit difficult on the wash mainly due to the mild weather i think and a lot of westerly winds which is not the best this side of the country, theres been no pattern at all with ducks or geese. Ive just returned from a few days on the findhorn which proved just as difficult as the geese where all over the place but we (5 of us) managed to bag 9, 6 pinks and 3 greylag so cant complain to much. Looking forward to a week on the solway at the end of the season tho and thats another season over. hopefully bag a duck or two between know and then on the wash but who knows.... regards chunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter121 6 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 hello chunk. cant sleep lol. it has been a little quiet for me the problem we have got the river has become that clean over recent years that a hell of a lot of the mersey mud that we had to put up with for many/many years has give way to lots of sand now . not knocking getting the river clean at all great to see. but from the fowling side of things it seems to have gone a little bit down hill. with not so much mud flats anymore for ducks etc to feed . carnt speak for the frodsham neck of the woods on the widgeon etc i have not heard any feed back from there . regards peter.
