Roach revivals are making a mockery of all sorts of theory's! They are coming out well over the 2lb magic marker on certain rivers in the North West - what cormorant problem?! :p With regards to the OP - a yearly licence makes more sense than the current seasonal one, scraping the junior licence...
Well I never! It's back! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Winter-Cheese-Paste-Fishing-Bait-for-Chub-Barbel-Carp-Roach-Tench-Bream-/222324312476?hash=item33c38fc99c:g:9aIAAOSwiONYNgAZ

We could do with several Hugo; " Which...
I always use barbed for big powerfull fish like Barbel, always barbless for small silvers ( bait catching! :) ). How many times do you need to hear it Russell before the penny drops and you do a bit of research on the subject? :rolleyes:
There's always the record that never was to compare it to: BFW Gallery
