What would you do???
OK here goes This was posted on a major forum and being in a wheelchair myself I though it would be interresting to see what feedback it got…..
You are fishing a River from a nice flat peg near to a roadside pathway,you have been there since dawn and now it is afternoon. The fish have really been playing ball with Barbel to 9lb being caught and plenty of good Chub, you have had a great day’s fishing and are still catching – it is a red letter day for you. NOW a car pulls up near the river and out gets a man; he opens up the back of the car and gets a wheelchair out for his disabled friend. After they get ready to come down to the River to fish, the man politely comes down to your peg and asks a big favour of you.
He points out that his friend cannot fish anywhere else except from the peg you are fishing from, because he is wheelchair-bound and needs a flat surface to be safe, and it is impossible to wheel him over the rough ground to another peg in safety. Now you know that a bit further down the River bank is another good swim, but not flat so it would be ok for you to use but not him. The question is this: Do you say, ‘no problem mate, he can fish off this peg’. I have had a good day and know of another good peg,’ OR do you say, ’sorry but i have spent a lot of time baiting this swim up and money and I am not going to let someone else fish it and reap the rewards of my hard work.’Now I am sure you get the picture and your comments will be very welcome. Let’s just say the ones from a few on the other site have shocked me a little….what would you do?

I woukld be happy to give up my peg and go to the other swim, I have a severely differently-abled grandson, my partner is disabled and but for the “Grace of God” etc etc.
I would view it that I had already had an excellent days fishing and if my efforts at baiting the swim and keeping it going helped the guy in the chair to have a good day too………….then that would be all the better.
