£43.20 for a single spool seems very expensive and the whole site looks a bit dodgy to me…. Dave

Aah….the faint rustle of tin foil on gravel - that brings back some memories….😊 Dave

I agree but some say that the splash of the lead/feeder actually attracts the fish and draws them into the baited area.🤔. Obviously works with carp….🙄 Dave

I guess I’ve mostly been a stay at home angler, as I have never strayed far from my Hampshire home. Here’s my list: Hampshire Avon Dorset Stour Test Itchen Frome (Dorset) Kennet Blackwater (Hants - tributary of the Test) Blackwater (Loddon tributary) Kentish Stour Beult (Kent) There may have...

It’s a shame that Dorchester & District AS stopped issuing their cut price winter tickets in 2023. An attractively priced means of accessing some reasonable stretches of the Frome from October onwards. Sadly, no more.🙄 Dave
