I don’t really fish the Leam, more the Avon and primarily at Barford (when there’s not a bloody match on). Used to fish Wasperton / Charlecotte a lot but they’ve gone downhill in the last two years. What about yourself ?

Yes there is a very big fish there. Came out twice last year. I fish MF at the weekends in the summer and it’s a nightmare - by 7pm on a Friday there must be x30 lines in the water. It’s no wonder not much comes out. Midweek or a Sunday is likely the best time to fish it. Not sure re Anchor...

Bank Tackle wide gape sz10.

The bag is the key thing for me - the larger it is, the more stuff you’ll be inclined to put in there. I take the following when roving: -Rod / reel (leave the rod bag in the car) -1 pint maggot box with flouro / hooks / lead -Freezer bag with chosen bait (usually meat) -Net -Mat -Single bank...

Thanks - just catching would be nice as it’s tough going in my local river. General tactic there seems to be a feeder in the middle of the river, it does look like a great bit of water. On a separate note how’s your waters been fishing this last year ? I’m down the road (Barford) and it’s been...

Thanks - sounds like the Wye a few years ago, minus the kayaks !!! I didn’t realise barbel were in such abundance over there. Shame Ade sold up as have heard nothing but good reports.

Bit of a thread-bounce on this one as am looking to fish the Meuse later this year, likely July / August. Has anyone fished in Fumay at all please ? I came across a really a good YouTube video (Paul Floyd) and it looks a nice spot, not too far to travel to by car and some camping areas / hotels...

The farmer who owns those fields must have seen something over the years even if it’s just prints. Any chance you could post those pics again please as they look to have been deleted ?

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve heard a few podcasts where the carp boys talk about the full fat GLM powder vs unfatted. They also say there are two variations of the full fat. The cheap stuff like nutrabsits sell and the more expensive stuff like FeedStim which is x3 the price !!!

Me and my mate fish Harvington and he said he saw a big cat last year. I had no reason to not believe him especially when this was reported a few weeks ago: https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/24808838.big-cat-sightings-worcestershire-puma-harvington/ Looping in @John Care as I’m sure a...

This is what i use. Can configure it to fit any swim and packs away nicely for travel.

Has anyone used GLM as an attractor in their bait making at all please ? Was walking the bank yesterday and after the water dropping down a metre I noticed hundreds of swan mussel shells on the bankside. I know Nutrbaits do GLM powder (as do Holland & Barett) and was thinking of soaking some...

Hahah - that’s a proper ear-worm.

I’m in the same position and also looking for one. Narrowed it down to Korum Super Lite River or the Drennan Specialist Umbrella. Both have the following: Removable centre pole Pegging points Bank stick threads

Any danger of starting a thread specifically on “pressure” ? I feel the original purpose of the post had gone way off topic.
