nice film Steve. I was fishing in that swim a couple of days before you moved into it. I came down to say hi to you and Joan when you were a couple of swims further down. Cannot believe it was 20 years ago! Best wishes.

Great video Steve, one of your absolutely best so far! It bring back so found memories of my own most successful Cassien trip the same year: I was at the lake 18 November - 5th December 2002 but I don't remember if we meet that year or if it was some of the other "night fishing years". Great memories any way! Thanks for bringing them back! / Mikael (from Sweden).

[@stevebriggs4638]

Hi Mikael it was a good year for sure!!! I think we may have met one or two years earlier - hard to remember now :-)

For the long trips when night fishing was allowed we always used to leave it in one of the restaurant car parks, they are closed in the winter but used to let us park there

[@steveallen1635]

Loved the film, and what a remarkable catch of big fish! Out of curiosity, how much was a permit to fish, back then?

[@stevebriggs4638]

Steven Allen can’t remember how much it was back then but I guess around €40 for the year

[@steveallen1635]

@@stevebriggs4638 I had an idea it was crazy cheap! How can you put a price on those captures and the memories though!

[@stevebriggs4638]

Steven Allen it’s still only €74 for the year now but the night fishing made all the difference for the winter trips.

[@daleHarrison93]

Hi again Steve, cant stop watching your videos over and over there's just something about them. May i ask what is your favourite swim on cassien? no1 deserves 1 of them cassien 70s more than you my friend i hope it happens.

[@stevebriggs4638]

apologies only just seen this comment. favourite parts of the lake changed over the years. Certainly the Mint Swim in the south arm was a favourite swim especially in the winter, but if there was one place that we both loved and produced many of our best fish then it would have to be the 1st Point in the north arm.

to be honest never!! I've still got those reels and I've had them serviced once by the Tackle Box but otherwise they've just kept going.
