Much appreciated chaps. Thanks!

Hello all. I'm taking my 8 year old lad on a bit of a road trip holiday in early August. A night here and there with a variety of activities, and I thought it'd be rude not to squeeze in a bit of fishing. Our trip back south will take us through Trent country, so I'm after a suitable day ticket...

Few more I’ve managed to winkle out. Sorry about the photo orientation!

Hi Paul. That fish was caught on a small soft plastic lure. A fox spikey micro fry in pink if I recall. I‘m fairly new to the lure fishing game to be honest; this is really only my second season, so my tips might not be worth a great deal! What I would say is to err on the side of fishing very...

Nice start to this year's campaign. 2Lb 1oz.

Just a note to both Tim and Chris above. Thanks for pointing me towards Lobby's Tackle in Stonehouse. What a superb shop, with their finest merchandise being the freely offered, excellent advice on the local venues. I fished a few hours this afternoon. Dreadful conditions for lure fishing, but...

Thanks Tim. Yeah, I'm fortunate in the the B Avon is very local and I've explored a fair proportion of it, managing a handful of decent specimens. The K&A I tend to find provides better sport in the Devizes pounds and out towards Pewsey. Since the enormous Foxhangers marina went in below Rowde...

Does anyone fish the above water? I was in the area yesterday with a light lure rod and had a little wander around the Stroud area. I had a handful of Perch to around 6oz and saw some nice sized Roach. The water was absolutely gin clear, possibly the clearest I've ever fished in, which obviously...

The Angling Trust have just released a statement to the effect that the government have given authority for local angling to continue in this new lockdown. TFFT!!

I’ve inherited about a dozen 300’s and similar Mitchells from my old man. He/we used to use them spinning Scottish estuaries for Sea Trout and Bass, severely abusing them in the process with sea water and sand ingress. After each Scottish holiday, we’d open them up, de-grease and re-grease them...

Frankly, whether its permitted or not, I will be fishing.
