If it doesn't get sold could you pm me as i'll have it. cheers Ed Green

Very fitting, well done chaps.

Don't forget peregrine rods. great craftsman is Roger.

Worcester Angling, who control Bishopswood, have announced the same closure.

That was my interpretation as well Lawrence. Boris's other half has expressed her dislike of angling in the past. This is the thin end of the wedge.

I've heard reliable reports of otters taking up residence in the wilton bridge area of the Wye, this being followed up of poor catch returns. I just hope that we are not witnessing the same.

Steve, I think you must have one of the early models . As soon as this was realised as a problem they were made with a brass thread insert. Mike O gave me one to play around with and my neighbour, who's a retired engineer, drilled the hole out and inserted brass tube with the correct thread...

if i remember rightly a small group of us pre baited a carp pit in the early 70's. yes , that long ago, and it proved very successful for at least a season . we then started to use additives to keep it going. The first use of sweetcorn also produced some amazing results. Oh happy days!!!!!

Fished the middle Wye again yesterday, arriving at 7.30am coincides with the sewage discharge from Hereford going through. The smell is awful and the associated foam and detritus is plain to see. This has been going on for the past couple of years at least but seems to be getting worse. The Wye...

Yes Terry, I'm old enough to remember those rods. Looked at one at my local tackle shop and thought "that will never take off" and it didn't. My nomination for a reel that has increased in value dramatically is the Abu Suveran . Probabaly the best made fixed spool reel with the best clutch. It...

Excellent video, i can remember going to a blank maker in Westcliffe who made fibreglass blanks to your specifications way back in the seventies. the pleasure of catching a good fish on a rod you've made yourself is immeasurable. Saying that i've got a number of Harrison rods and they are superb.
