That's a very sad story Keith and one which we should all take heed of. Your tips regarding what to do should you fall in are excellent and again, something to pay attention too. I remember Hugh Faulkus demonstrating the same technique you speak of in that excellent programme Salmo the...

Wow, this thread is still going strong! Dying on it's backside, obviously not with 229 posts on this thread alone. Me being a newbie to this forum I find it a bit hard to understand what this is all about. However, my observations, having just read from post one is that some people hanker for...

I initially considered getting Chimera barbel rods solely based on having used Chimera carp rods for a good few years and loving them to bits. I'm so glad my rod builder persuaded me to go for the Torrix though as they are superb rods, fabulous action and a real pleasure to use.

If my Mrs ever invites me to join her upstairs, it'll be because she can't reach something off the top of the wardrobe.

Strewth Martin....have you any idea how many of this lot will now be haunting your swims in wet suits Not really worth the risk David, too many 3/4 ounce feeders packed with goodies flying around to make salvage a viable option :rolleyes: Howard, I really do get what you mean there mate...

Howard, you're not on your own giving thanks to the river. I always pay the river gods in silver coin (well shrapnel really, 5, 10 or 20p coin) when I first cast in and always say thank you as I leave. Something about being Welsh perhaps :D

I am deeply unimaginative and have never considered using a fruit flavour. Which is pretty mad really as I used a tangerine and a blackcurrant fishmeal for carp for a good couple of years and caught very well on both. I must have been brain washed into thinking the fishmeal, pellet and meat...

I've been posting on angling forums since around 2004. In that time I've seen at least four forums go under and a couple of the (previously) busiest becoming very different places. Like other have already said, I think forums do go through quiet spells but, the dreaded Facebook undoubtedly has...

I friend of mine once caught two big cats using pop up fake bread! He used large PVA mesh bags full of liquidised bread and fished the fake bread over the top. His take on it was that the liquidised attracted the roach , which attracted the cats. Whatever, it worked for him as I think...
