My local MP had to resign , so not much hope of a reply...

I honestly think it's because the Government are on the hot foot , so to speak. It also appears that the " herd " method of controlling the virus is actually the model the Government have followed , hence no full lockdown as seen in other countries. Most of the Governments proposals have been...

Having now seen the proposed plan to get people back to work , it does give some hope that fishing can return. I see that some shops can open again if they are able to enforce social distancing. Let's hope that sunday when boris reveals the plan , that fishing is allowed . Personally I think...

The Angling Trust statement of proposals , was put together well. However I seriously doubt that restrictions will be lifted for Sports and pastimes etc , whilst children are at home and many workers furloughed from work. I was only reading yesterday a minister saying that at the earliest , kids...

I certainly have been praying , that June 16th is like no other , and Anglers up and down the country rejoice that fishing is allowed. My opinion based on facts however , would suggest June 16th will be too soon. At best I think fishing could start in september , as I believe that's when the...

Please fellow Anglers , Stay at home. Until everyone grasps the seriousness of this Epidemic , we face months of isolation. This is not a Holiday. I , like many , have lost my income. There will be some Tackle shops that never open their doors again after this. The World will be a different...

Sadly , things will only get worse , especially now the UK is leaving the EU. But I suppose the share holders of the various water authorities , will now be rubbing their hands with glee , as they will no longer have to pay the fines issued by the EU.

Well , what everyone feared , has now been confirmed. Our rivers in the UK are being used to discharge raw , untreated waste. All water authorities have now admitted , they are discharging Raw waste into the Rivers , for 9 months of the year ! . That would explain why only last year , the River...

haha , yes that what I meant. my memory gets worse as I get older..lol..

The NRG remote kit comes with a small lightweight tripod with a adjustable holder to clamp your phone, plus a remote which runs off Bluetooth.. used it for a while now and you simply cant fault it. Its so light weight you don't even know its there in your bag.

Or you can buy the NRG self take kit , that turns your phone into a self take camera . Brilliant bit of kit for less than £20..

RDAA. The fish I spotted were on the free stretch. Cant get to them anyway from the banks , I was watching and feeding off a road bridge . Fantastic to see so many monster Roach. Every now and again a couple of big Barbel came out from under the bridge.

I was actually feeding some huge chub and monster roach , several of these roach were 3lb , they were taking small pellets on the drop ! I was itching to get the rod out but in the end I would rather wait and spend my time observing rather than fishing.

A lad I know had a nice Barbel off the dorset Stour and he had to revive it for nearly an hour. you don't need kits to tell you something aint right. The lad in question will not fish for Barbel again until conditions improve..

Stephen with the greatest respect , you don't need a kit to see the obvious. Fish will feed but that's not the problem.
