    weed in rivers (severn)

    We fished above Shrewsbury on opening night and get wiped out within minutes of casting. If you're going to try higher up the river it would have to be MUCH higher up.

    Matt Hayes reckons rivers are had it - your views

    I reckon the only hope is if the cuddly furry critters, eat all the black feathered critters and then die quietly of a surfeit of said black plague.

    CC Moore

    CC Moore do make very good baits, the Live System is an excellent carp catch and I've seen some good results on Meteor too. Just to throw another bait maker into the hat, have a look at these; Quality Baits The Patshull Park mix has stood the test of time, excellent bait and they will...

    Global Warming

    Wasn't it John Dewey who said "As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance" If this is true and I believe it is, then politicians are corrupt as they look out for the interests of business over the interests of...

    Global Warming

    While the vested interests of this world are busily rolling out their own trained (and paid for) academics to berate us with climate change theories, isn't it a little strange that they miss out on the subject of air polution? Maybe not though, UK air pollution: why are we only now waking...

    Near record barbel

    Personally, I couldn't care less where this fish came from, not my business as I don't believe in chasing known fish, too much like sloppy seconds:eek: Secondly, what a cracker of a fish that is. Well done that man, congratulations on a fantastic achievement.

    Maggot clips

    Never tried the clips on the river but did give them a good coat of looking at for carping. The conclusions I came to where that I did better without them, than with them. They are invariably blunt to massacred the grubs while putting them on. I found that one artificial used as a mag...

    Carp Rods

    I personally wouldn't be looking at anything over 2.75lb tc mate. Even if the cats run to 20lb+ you'll have enough power to turn them with that test curve.

    mainline

    I wouldn't worry about the colour of big game spooking fish mate. I've used it as main line both carping and fishing for barbel and had many a fish on it. It pretty bomb proof too in my own experience

    New rod recommendations

    Definitely a Harrison. Not used the Chimera barbel rods but have had Chimera carp rods for a good 8 or 9 years now and love them to bits. Based on how good the Harrison blanks are, I got myself a Torrix 1.75 custom built last year and have to say its a very impressive rod. If I had to...
