I think this is my last session for this season....

I noticed two gentlemen walking down the road as I was chatting to a gamekeeper in the field just up from our parked cars. Then, when I got back up to Chris, we commented on the gent's being down in the river near the sheds. Could that have been you and your friend? We are hoping the weather...

Hi Declan, thanks for that. We were there last Wednesday. We only really got fishing around midday. I think you need several days there to get to know the place. My friend Antony was the chap fishing the tip; he had a nice grayling, he guessed to be a high 2lber. I think Ant had three grayling...

Possibly my last attempt at a barbel on the float gear this season....

I think you made a wise choice, Russ.

We had a trip out chasing the ladies this week but they turned out to be a little fridgid 🤭 haha .... Were hoping to have another try for them soon, fingers crossed thay arnt as shy if we do.

I'm not sure what you mean, Kev? I haven't got the speci 15-footer myself....yet. I got the 13ft mode as soon as they were released, and then a week after, I got the 14ft model because I liked them so much. They had an action and the power I had been looking for for ages, and I was very happy...

For what it's worth, I would be purchasing the 15ft speci Acolyte rod.

Thanks, Bob :-).
