Merry Christmas Andy, Claire and family, I would like to say a big thank you on running what is a very well run forum, one that not only is a real melting pot of ideas and interesting topics, but one that has an excellent community of helpful members. Wishing all the members on BFW and BFW team...

Thank you John,I'd like to wish the same to you and everyone else on the forum,I hope everyone has a good new year,health wise and piscatorial.

Here is a link to what David is talking about Ray. Most hydropower schemes are a waste of taxpayers' money and damaging to the environment, says new report - The Angling Trust

I have also been a regular Metcheck user over the years,but as you say for quite a few months this year they have been suffering with a lot of problems on the site and it has become very erratic to say the least. This Beta site looks nicely laid out as well and not to confusing either :D.Added...

Hello and welcome to the forum Danny, Do you mean the TFG classic centrepin? If so I think Nathan Walter who frequents these forums owns one and might be able to help you,he also wrote a review of it,over on the fishtec blog. Hope that might be of some help.

Have to agree with you Ian regarding Drennan,usually most of my terminal tackle is a combination of Drennan and Gardner.

Absolute beauty Paul,you have really been on a roll this season,well done chap.

There's an article in this weeks Angling Times,about a group of EE poachers caught with a carrier bag of ten Chub from the river Wye,also has a group photo of them,I think they were fined £750 or so.

Very well done Ian,brilliant fish,top angling :)

Some absolutely beautiful fish,each one making for a very difficult choice,the Taff fish is cracking,but I went with Simon's 16.8 from the Loddon,a wonderful fish in my opinion :D

Agreed,one has to only look back a few seasons ago when a stretch of the Loddon had a large Barbel publicised (Duncan Charman I think) and I can remember people complaining about the descending circus at that time as well and correct me if I am wrong,but didn't the said stretch get absolutely...

Chris you can pick up the Canon sx30IS and thats not badly priced,I use one when I feel a dslr is too bulky,it has a 35x zoom so also good for those wildlife shots,as well as the usual flip round screen,image stabilisation and hd video functionality (depends if hd video shooting is that...

Very interesting and I must admit rather tempting,the line guard and larger spool,look like a couple of nice additions. :)

Well done Joe, that is a beautiful fish,congratulations.

Hello Jamie, I'm a Drennan sink Braid user as well and regularly use it,but I had a similar incident to yourself a few seasons back and decided to have a look about for a coated braid of similar colour to the Sink braid,for when situations call for it. I eventually settled on the Gardner sly...

Let me be the first to say well done Paul and congratulations on your new PB,beautiful fish,very nice indeed.

Wonderful fish,simply beautiful.

Hello Simon, I am very conscious about hook sharpness too,I usually prefer to use Gardner covert talon tips,however I don't change my hooks much anymore if the tips do start to become dull and blunted. Reason being over the last four seasons I have been using a Berkley hook sharpener,which has...

Very well done Ryan,lovely picture with a very proud looking dorsal,looks in great condition andyou look deservedly made up.

Agreed David, I have no idea why some so called "anglers" can't take their empty food packs/bait packaging home,instead of leaving it laying around for those of us who care about our venues to clear up,come winter time when bankside foliage has been denuded,some venues can look in a very...
