About the Author
I am of South African origin. Had good few days free fishing in Winchester. Fishing only permitted down left hand side through town centre. Fantasiclly friendly pubs along river side. Met local guide had exellent knoweledge and well worth his well priced fee (search google for Keith Dipper or check this.http://fishingcoach.blogsome.com/2008/04/22/fly-fishing-on-the-itchen/ ) All salmon are to be released as wild stocks are dieing out throughout U.K (and is against the law) Please release all fish caught as are wild breeding fish.
