    New reservoir ?

    You don't have to 'hope it rains', it will rain, we just need to store it when it does rain so that we can cope with the dryer periods we are experiencing

    New reservoir ?

    It's roughly 3.5kWh of electric per m^3 of water if you go down the desalination route. Or you dig a hole.....

    Where you going ??

    I'll be close to home on the upper Trent. The chance of a barbel is low, but a chub would be nice.

    Rod set ups

    I often fish with odd rods, to me it makes sense on the bigger rivers to fish an inside line with a lighter set up and mid river with a heavier set up that can handle the bigger weights needed to hold bottom.

    I know very little about cane rods but am tempted. What fishing is this suitable for? What would be a safe line rating to use? How long is it? Any other info would be useful.

    Tench helicopter rigs

    Has anyone got a cheap option for heli-rigs for tench? Last season i just used a swivel direct to the mainline trapped between two Drennan big grippa stops which worked fine most of the time, but i did lose one nice fish which really bugged me. This season i'm thinking of going with something...
