    Cows

I now avoid fishing in any field where animals are present - it may mean that I miss out...

    Another tackle shop going

    Seems like that won’t be known until the end of the season, Joe. I guess it depends on whether anyone does take over the business but the Water Company will have some say in the matter whatever the future of the shop. Dave

    Floats for trotting for grayling?

    Andrew Burt on here sells floats that may well suit your requirements. They are certainly visible at distance and also feature interchangeable tips to suit different conditions. Dave

    New record

    I guess the question is, if it weighs that much now, what might it weigh at the back end of the season?? Looks like Kings Weir is in for a hammering in the next three months! Dave
