GT 80

When I started fishing on the Teme, in the mid 80’s the river had a huge population of small barbel. But it was a nightmare to fish for them after dark as you got plagued with bootlace eels no matter what bait you used and otters were regularly spotted on the stretch I fished. The otters...

Hi all Is there any truth in the rumors of a record pike from the Wye

I use one of these Multisharp Diamond Tool Sharpener

Got a drennan and used it a lot over the last 2 seasons. After a few sessions it refused to lock in position but after a strip down and clean with WD40 have not had a problem. Would recommend it to anybody.:)

Not really thought about it before, but strangely enough just about everything is Drennan. :)

Choose a method and stick to it. If you switch and change you end up doing nothing properly. If the chub are there and feeding the'll have just about anything you offer them. (If there feeding):o

Hi all One thing that I've always wondered about on this is is it legal after all it is a lead fishing weight under a ounce. Tatty.

Hello all If anybody if interested in joining a club on the river Teme please read my post on the Teme thread. All the best Tatty

Very pleased with mine. Been using the Drennan handle this season, only problem I've had was accidently pulling it apart becuase I didn't see the marks on the inner section, but it was easy enough to put back together and I've now extended the painted line all the way round.

Just delete the word gear and insert garbage. You can also change fishing for another F word.:D:p;) All the best Tatty.

What river you on Ed? Barbel do roll on the top quite often but if your river has a salmon or sea trout run it could well be one of them.

As I said Chris as long as there happy. :) TATTY.

Although it may be starting to go a bit cold now bread on the top is always a good bet in weedy swims. When the weed dies back ledgered bread should work in any swim containing chub. All the best Tatty
