Add more spool shims and it should improve.

Yep, that's a beautiful looking fish, wonderful👍👍

I reckon you'd catch on those no problem, especially if you added a bit of sparkle !

Blimey, Neil, you must spend a fortune on meat !!

Unlikely, I'd imagine. But you do wonder who the hell advises these people.

They'll do the job in terms of keeping you dry but will be very hot. If you don't mind the extra cost go for some breathables.

Nice one, Gavin, looks fantastic. Some very good info there for anyone planning a trip.

Just get your own fridge so swmbo is happy. I buy a gallon at a time and can keep them for weeks no problem in open containers in the fridge with minimal work.

Like it or not, the AT is all we've got , and from what I've seen, they do some excellent work in supporting Clubs and Anglers in bringing pollution cases to court and achieving good results,. Small Clubs etc. would be urinating in the wind trying to do this themselves.

For what it's work, I see Otters hunting regularly , they favour shallow, fast runs where they rummage about in the Stones and come up chamming from time to time. I'm sure most of their diet is Bullheads and Stone Loach. I'm not saying they don't take larger stuff, I've seen one swimming past...

I'm generally Liberal leaning, but there is more and more stuff when I find myself chuntering on about bringing back the death penalty !

In my case by fishing as much as possible !

Right place, right time....needs to be learnt, imo.

Love those really Bronzy ones you get, Ian 👍

Well that's not my experience, and I fish several different beats totalling about 5 or 6 miles of fishing. They are certainly messy, leaving a lot of willow twigs and branches in the water, and obviously fell the odd tree into the river, but that's a long way from making the river unfishable.
