173.0. "Fishing?" by MALLET::MOXLEY (ENS,DINS,EMA) Wed Jun 21 1989 12:14

    
    Hi,
    
    Now is the start of the season, can anyone recommend some good
    day-ticket waters, where I might dangle my angle?

173.1Gone fishing...LARVAE::BARKERDo not fold, spindle or mutilateWed Jul 05 1989 15:0110
	Our extensive investigations reveal that if you go to the sports shop 
in New Market Square and go upstairs to the fishing department then they will 
be able to help you. Apparently there is someone who works there who is a big 
wheel in the local angling fraternity.

	There are various day ticket waters for coarse fishing including
Basingstoke Canal. If you are one of those posh gits who wants to slaughter
tame trout then there is also provision for you.

173.3Astral SportsODIHAM::NICHOLLSTo be or what...Fri Jul 07 1989 10:129
    They've moved!  The shop I believe you are after is Astral Sports,
    and they are now opposite Halfords - next to Midland Bank, not far
    away from New Market Square.
    
    The fishing bit is downstairs now - the same man is there though.

173.4Go Fishing - 7-8-89 - ITVLASHAM::NICHOLLSMad Dog 20-20Tue Aug 08 1989 17:3615
    And I ask again...
    
    Did anyone happen to record on VHS, Go Fishing last night on ITV.
    Guess who forgot to record THE most important programme of the series
    for my husband....(well that's what he said as it was on Barbel and
    that's is THE only fish as far he is concerned). 
                                                    
    If we could borrow it one night, I can be contacted on HAMPS::NICHOLLS,
    Alex Nicholls @bst or on 7768-5335.
    
    Thanks
