Exactly. Even with a brolly, realistically what's the worst thag could happen. Your brolly blow away and you have to pack up?
These people spouting about being "selfish" by fishing in wind and wasting the NHS's time, probably want to ban motorbikes from the road, ban all forms of Motorsport as well as climbing and surfing, as its selfish and a burden on the NHS to put yourself in danger.

how does a simple thread turn into a row about the NHS and fisherman out in the wind is beyond me
the percentage of anglers out during the storms would have been so minute it wouldnt even register, and id love to see how many anglers got crushed by a tree.... i bet that is a big fat zero
what about the hoards of people standing on the beaches, harbours etc watching the waves smash against the shore line....oh, they are bad bad people
More dangerous, are people with fat fingers, bored tucked up inside spouting rubbish

I'm not sure I like the way this thread is going
Lots of references to 'fat' people and 'fat fingers'...
To quote a well loved comedy sketch
'You sir are fat-ist'
'Actually I think you're the fattest'
One could argue that the folk of a larger girth are less likely to be blown over by storm winds, thereby saving NHS resources as a result
Peace and love all
And if you are mad enough to go out in 122mph winds then watch out for braders' kids taking your head off

I am fishing at present on a river since Friday afternoon. Bivvied up in large open field in Titan Brolly. Dug out my 12 inch pegs in the week and kept an eye on the forecast since middle of the week. Wind died down yesterday evening and not too bad this Saturday. Preparation is key but definitely would not fish a lake surrounded by trees. Just not worth the risk.
