Yes, that's the thing about these old Avon scales, they are so robust. I had mine calibrated when they were about 15 years old and they were still accurate. That is after all sorts of abuse and only minimal maintenance. Regards, G.T.

When all this started I could not see a problem with simply fishing an isolated spot on my own. But I was wrong, simply touching a gate can apparently leave the virus for others and I would not be aware that my undetected contamination could kill someone else. Some good posts on here by some...

It sounds like your daughter had a good teacher Derek, Regards, G.T.

You will forgive me if I highlight that most of the country have disagreed with your political persuasion. The alternative was unthinkable. Keep Safe, G.T.

Hi Steve, I get your sentiments entirely ( but not your language ). I have been going fishing for over 60 years and have not required the emergency services yet. It's all about common sense isn't it. Frankly driving to a quiet spot for a few hours fishing is not a threat to anybody in my...

Some pertinent points there Gerry but I honestly believe that the majority of people in this country have always valued people in the 'caring' environment. It is the few who continue to try to ruin things for the many. Steve, I'm not sure this is the right site for political point scoring...

Yep, that's a biggie! Well done mate Regards, G.T.

I don't need the brollys Terry. Wherever I turn up the fish just disappear. It's just like Magic. It's the way I tell 'em! Regards, G.T.

Firstly, a sensible decision to recognise you now need 'assistance '. I started using a trolley 15 years ago when I realised my back was sore even before I started fishing. This has allowed me to continue enjoying my hobby in the intervening years ( struggling a bit now, mind). My trolley has...

Depends how much I am panicking at the time. I have been known to attempt to back-wind , adjust my clutch and swear all at the same time.... Tight Lines, G.T.

Have a very merry Christmas to one and all! Special thanks to the regular posters who keep this forum 'alive' ATB, G.T.

I'm with Sue on this one Mark. Back in the early 90's when double figure Barbel were on the front page of the angling press I caught an 11 plus from the 'lower' ( Severn) . I did not return to the river again that season. I could not tear myself away from the river Teme. Smaller fish but a...
