    Wye is coming well up. But around Monmouth horrific due the river Monnow trying to get into the Wye Happens when smaller rivers can't force their way into the larger ones. Use to be great fishing on the bank high Loddon held back due the Thames force.

    Try find a Daiwa Powermesh 12ft 1.5. It's perfect for all Thames needs from maggot feeder to mashed bread open end. 2 tips - Quiver and Avon. I have 2 and used for many years on Thames.

    I'll pose again if you pay enough🤣 On my trips to fish with the Dorset Mafia one of the most enjoyable parts are the photos Dave shares with us of the trips. I'm not 100pc sure I'll be able to travel down again in future, so they will be wonderful memories of those joyous, fish full and...

    Actually says a "suitable" net I think. No idea what that means match fishing. I think anyone targeting barbel could pulled up with a net that size. So that will always be debatable. As I say, this maybe could be changed to a minimum size usage.

    Any member of Hereford Angling Club can raise the issue prior to the AGM. Even non members can make a comment on the FB page if they want and potentially that may lead to change. They do have some restrictions. Such as 6 hours is the maximum you can use a Keepnet before having to empty it...

    It's Hereford Match fishing 3 day event. That section fairly rare to get barbel that may be the 14+ that came out. There are more photos of nets of barbel caught in other sections. It is what it is.
