Enterprise tackle Meat mate , works every time .

Thanks Mark , I think we will pass this year due to circumstances beyond our control. Best Mark.

I am just about to book a trip with Misty Dhillon any tackle tips etc any tips would be greatly appreciated .I'll check out Stu Walkers film too. Ta, Mark.

Hi Marcin, to be honest i don't really think about the feel anymore , both tips are sensitive and responsive as far as I'm concerned, its just that when you have say an 8lb+ fish on the 1.75lb bends almost right through to the cork and the 2lb doesn't.The last winter fish I caught on the 2lb TC...

Hi Marcin, I fish the area around Symonds Yat too and five years ago invested in a Torrix twin top 1.75 lb/2lb .I seldom use the 1.75lb these days on the Wye , maybe in NSL conditions in areas without snags in which it's a pleasure to use but most of the time use the 2lb tip as it gives me the...

Summer floods on the Wye I used one sixth of a tin and got a PB , this Xmas / new year I tried a quarter of a tin and whittled off the edges and didn't get a bite , nibbled it down to about one eighth of a tin with still no bites , who knows ?Much more confident using Enterprise meat mates than...

Many thanks Hope it stays fine . Mark.

Aviva river It was the River Test on The Mountbatten Estate according to a friend who worked on it.

Hi Stuart - am I right in thinking the 3 fields above (upstream) the road bridge are very slim and in total are about 100 metres ? Thanks, Mark

Hi Stuart ,I was not very familiar with the BS stretch but I do fish the Leeds DASA Asenby water on the opposite bank - does your side extend upstream above the road bridge ? also how many fields down from the bridge ? Regards, Mark.
