Sharing the River

[shedhed]

Forgive my naivety about asking this question. I was just going to post this on the River Wye reports thread, but thought this might apply to other rivers as well and putting it here would open it to a wider audience.
With June 16th approaching the coarse season opens up on rivers. Many beats sell tickets to both game and coarse anglers for the same day, so how does it work. Coarse anglers aren't going to want us wading through their carefully baited swim, and we don't want them dropping great weights into the middle of our pools. Are there separate reserved pegs/swims/pools for each type of angler or is it first to the riverbank gets to choose.

Shedhed,

IMHO stick to the streamy water in which to fish your fly as the summer grilse,(that are eligible for a belt on the head now the Envirnment Agency sponsored Festival of Death has arrived on English rivers post June 16th)will be in the more oxygenated streams.

On the way back to the car,fire a toby through the maggot drowners swims if they look like they may contain a sulking summer fish.This is clearly dependent upon whether the bloke under the Ivan Marks Memorial green umbrella looks as if he isn't descended from a long line of prize fighters and presumably the answer the 93 people who have read this before me that hate Hovis floaters clogging up salmon rivers would like to have posted as a response.

Should add colour to your day if nothing else-also applicable to middle strecteches of the Wear where the Homeprideslingers also are setting up home.

Alternatively, spread the rumour that Bert had a bag of big 'uns on the feeder down below the tannery yesterday afternoon. That will shift 'em - just beware the stampede of trolley boxes.
