    New Hinders Elips.

    Andy, way back I used to have some sales literature from EWOS that stated exactly that. Although, who believes sales literature :rolleyes:

    The perfect canine companion - which dog?

    That would be Raccoons, what did you think he hunted?

    The perfect canine companion - which dog?

    Almost any kind of hound dog (I have a Walker Coonhound, very similar to an English Foxhound). Great temperaments and not too water friendly that they're going to go jumping in your swim. However they do need quite a lot of exercise. Almost any dog is a good dog though if it's a rescue :)

    river feeder rod

    Not sure if they still make them or what the model numbers are anymore since moving over here but the various Daiwa 11/13ft feeder rods have always been pretty good. They take a range of quivers and you can usually buy a separate method top as well, so gives you a lot of options.

    What Shelter/Brollie thingy?

    Maybe a touch heavier than you're after but the original JRC Stealth takes a lot of beating. I haven't seen a MK2 but I would imagine it is of similar quality. That also gives you the advantage of the zip in front if you want to do longer stays and it had it's own carry bag. A few of the WBC...

    Pollution of The Thames

    Stephen, if it were negligence then at least we could console ourselves with the misguided belief that lessons might have been learnt and things may improve. However I believe it just comes down to pure economics; it's a whole lot cheaper to just pay the fines.

    Pollution of The Thames

    Yep and the pathetic fines are no deterrent at all

    Bogus Environment Agency Officers

    It wouldn't be a story if there wasn't so many people fishing without licenses. Surely that's more to the point.

    Hi Luke, not sure if this would suit you (or if you have seen it) but David Hall is selling a 2.25 Chimera over on the Colne river reports thread

    Although nowhere near as good as it used to be you would still go a long way to beat the BAA
