Re: Stacklands accessThere is space for about 3-4 cars.Considering river level I'd be surprised if there isn't room.

Re: Stacklands accessFair points Wyeangler. Hopefully in future, these issues can be sorted out and we can start talking about the actual fishing on this beautiful stretch.

Re: Stacklands accessI would suggest that the vast majority of anglers park where they should anyway - that is what irritates me a little as the impression seems to be that the opposite is true. I know that some time ago a small number of anglers parked by the river bank which was clearly wrong and I am now aware of it happening again. Recently some anglers, including myself, obviously didn't realise quite how slippery/muddy the track was and reverted to crossing some of the field off the track - hardly crime of the century and better than being stranded in the middle of nowhere. Obviously some posters NEVER make this sort of error themselves. I don't have any issue with the gate being locked and fully understand the reasons behind it, although perhaps the farmer might have informed the BAA of his actions. Couldn't some common sense agreement be reached that in the wInter months the field adjacent to the gate is used for parking,giving virtually three whole fields for sheep to graze on? I know the BAA don't own this land, but would it really have to involve a sale of land? Hopefully common sense will prevail.

Re: Stacklands accessI think the picture being painted of the farmer's field representing "a churned morass" is a little exaggerated. I visited on Saturday and there was minimal evidence of cars driving off the track - a few tyre marks close to the track were all I could see, probably where members had tried to avoid being stranded. There were no marks even close to the bankside. I can understand the farmer's point of view to a point but it would have been nice to have been informed of the locked gate. As for climbing the gate - I think I'm correct in stating that is necessary to climb a gate/fence to access the third field. I assume this is acceptable? Would it be possible to have angler's access via the public footpath adjacent to the bank side in the wetter/wintry time of year?

Re: Stacklands accessI assume it is ok to park on the verge outside the gate? Last time I fished Stacklands the track was extremely muddy (my tyres were seriously spinning at mid-point)and I decided to use common sense and drive alongside it on the grass for some distance. Hopefully something can be sorted - the car park adjacent to the entrance gate would be better for all (it would make it a long walk to the end pegs!).
