Fishing In France – Baz Morgan – Part 4
The Mighty River Loire I doubt if anyone could put their hand on heart and truly say they know the mighty river Loire, it is after all one of the great natural rivers of Europe and over 600 miles long.

Hebditch’s Pond – Barney’s Pairs Open – 25th February 2018
