Thats my set up,tried it yesterday although i only needed to use net twice, unhooked all others by hand. Loosen first section bung out then when i need net pull it out wrap strap around hand and carry on playing fish, floating net head pulls out the handle in the current, worked a treat.

Been doing this with the chub but in a fast shallowish flow getting the barbel in that last 6ft or so was proving a bit difficult. Was treated to a new 15ft rid yesterday so net will be even more handy now.

My only warming about temu is you will end up ordering stuff you never knew existed and that you do not need lol

Yes ive had quite a few bits off there. Some of the deals like a drone for £3.50 seem unreal but every thing has turned up so far. A lot quicker than ali express arrives in just over a week.

This year i purchased the korum fast net floating 22 inch head. Forum opurtunist 1.8m handle. Had it attached via a magnetic clip on the shoulder strap of bait apron. Used it first time today on 2 decent barbel whilst wading. Once extended wrapped strap around left arm, net just floats on...

On this stretch at the moment they are showing to ledgered baits but so far nothing for me on float barbel wise over 4 visits. Have had plenty in the past so only a matter of time before they show up.

Tried the leeda assasin tod today. 10 nice chub to about 5lb. Wow…….like chall and cheese compared to the drennan tench rod. Handled them all with ease even in the fast current.

One of them who makes out that he only caught the fish due to using a certain hook/line and a concoction of various bait additives. Just to make a long winded account of the catch and make it sound like they are a fish guru.

Was surprised how undergunned the drennan tench rod felt with a decent chub. For next few sessions i will first experiment with the leeda rod and maybe even An avon type rod. Just seen the thread on trent float rods so lots of info to mull over.

This season i invested in chest waders and set out on float fishing for barbel. 3 sessions so far with loads of chub in the 4-5lb bracket so not complaining. The section i fish is about 3-4ft deep and very pacy in the middle. Fishing 7lb line and using my drennan series 7 tench and specimen...

I puchased a fox stalker pof a few years ago to convert into a tripod as at the time there was a fitting you could purchase to convert it, i can no longer find these anywhere so i guess ill need a second hand one if anybody has one

I went first day last year,saw loads of anglers on opposite bank to me,rest of season didn't see another angler there! Think lots give up and head back to the carp puddles after a few weeks.

Im think that in Germany you can not return any fish that you catch,and in Italy there could be a total ban on night fishing.

Have not looked at the rules for years,ive just not fished the rivers during close season,but is there still a rule saying you can leger worms for eels or trout providing the hook is large enough? If that's still the case whats the difference between that and legering worms for barbell during...

No need for close season on a carp lake I fish as when they are spawning they will not bite! I presume same for barbell as early season you don't seem to catch many,scrap it I say,its an out of date law but nothing will get done about it.

Suprised it took less than 12 months of being on the waiting list,shame I've just renewed my white swans membership, then again never done any harm being in 2 clubs :-)

Any members of the above club? Got the chance to join it wanted to know what their waters are like. thx

Ill be trying my hand at drop shotting for perch and try to catch my first zander down the cut (canal)

Are there any big bream in the river???
