Mine has to be Drennan distance Tench and Bream rod.. Although paid £50 and sold for £120.

Sad news that Dave brother of John has passed away....hope you are reunited doing what you both love.

For those who haven't seen it, check out the brilliant Dave Roberts fishing his boyhood river. For me this is what all the fuss is all about. Sorry can't do a linky thing.

First time back on the Wye for 3 or 4 years last Thursday...and so disappointed in the state of this once pristine river. The bottom was covered in green slimy silt that engulfed your rig. I imagine this is due to the poultry farms, never imagined it was this bad. I was reduced to...

Can anyone explain just what is the difference between the more sought after Powermeshes against the 119av Avon? Side by side they apparently seem the same anyone?

I was scrolling through my phone looking at the video shorts, no not those😐 ....and I came across a guy using cigarette ash and super glue to make good broken plastic, carbon products. It seemed to dry hard and would take drilling sanding etc. Am I right in thinking burnt ash is carbon? so...

Check BT on the Bank latest episode HUGE Tuna off Cornwall.ĺ

It is well understood that a low o2 level puts of fish, larger species especially from feeding. Not completely of course, but larger food items are difficult to digest due to decreased vigour in the fish metabolism. I recently was suffering a biteless few hours using the conventional pellet...

could only to save one fishing rod that a fire was about to engulf your entire tackle collection😭 what would you choose? Mine would be the old Drennan Tench . Not only is it a beautiful rod it would cover a wide variety of species to fish for.

I very rarely use more than one rod when Barbel fishing, however I get the fact that two baits in or possibly three will increase your chances..But it seems to me that more often than not the downstream rod is the one that gets more attention. Really interested in what others think.

Looking to purchase as above, but not a fan of multiple push in quivers, so a old donkey type set up would be great. Something that would be good for smaller species and up to Chub? I have due to age.... a stack of rods including some old JW's Avons, and the original green blank model I have dug...

I was going through the merits of my assortments of rods, mostly of the Barbel variety, some horrible things, some not so, all to do with fashion, marketing or just plain old reccomendations by others. Perhaps the most delightful rods I own are the Torrix 1.75 11 foot, and the superb Dave Mason...

There is a school of thought that continuous casting of a feeder can be counter productive and scare Barbel off.with the noise it makes on entry. I witnessed an extraordinary session the other evening when every fish and its dog were fighting for the feed on entry, the usual bleak shimmer, but...

If anyone hasn't seen the Walks that saved my life, on BBC please check it out. It gives a tremendous insight into this man, his love of nature, his battles with mental health, his obsessive love of dogs, well Poodles really. All filmed alongside the beautiful Itchen, well done Beeb totally...

Wasn't that a Beatles line? Anyway, finding it difficult to sleep with the dawn chorus full of chirpy neighbours, one of the delights in living so close to fields and woodland. Not complaining really, but with time on my hands I look at the BFW site, and yep, just like every new dawn, there is...

As per title I am unable to view these reports, says not 'enough priveleges ' I appreciate I haven't contributed much of late on there, but I am trying.. 🤔

Again this problem is becoming just too much to cope with. Pop up's on top and bottom of every page, and now in the middle of every page. And they won't delete.

Never really gone away, still pockets of resistance.🤨

I was looking through some past episodes of Monster Fish on BT player last night. Very good too, the presenter seemed a good and considerate angler, his main goal was to catch a monster fish. He fished a variety of Rivers and lakes and did indeed catch a few big fish. One of my non fishing sons...
