Fishing In France – Baz Morgan – Part 2
In my last article I explained the basic licence system in France.

Summerhayes – Open – 26th March 2017
The match was on Longs this week and the good news was that the weather was a lot better than it has been, the bad news was that the Torquay Tart had text me to say he was fishing today! I picked Janders up and as soon as we pulled into the car park I could see the Tart waving at us …
