Quite so Damian,.. took a pic of this one by the D.Stour. I’ve got some pics of buzzards that are even lighter but they’re buried in amongst thousands of others.

Ha,.. no chance of me feeding them Richard. Despite signs along the bank telling folk not to feed the swans some still do unfortunately. I noted the two adult birds were absent this morning,.. not sure why. I used to enjoy fishing the opposite RDAA bank but got fed up with some that inhabited...

Testing,…. Could’nt upload this image until I cropped the long side a bit. Took two attempts.🙂

Dawn on the Stour this morning from the phone. I shall have to lug the proper landscape camera along to get better pics but I can never bring myself to leave the wildlife camera and big lens at home.

Yes Dave,… still fishes well for both.🙂

The White House, upper Winkton .

Autumn on the HAvon taken a while back when the lower valley wasn’t in constant flood like this year. Note the local resident photobombing the shot as I was lining up the frame.🙂

Angling is what got me interested in photography ,… just trying to capture some of the magical moments we witness when on the bank. Difficult to do both well though ,.. missed kingfishers and missed bites!!📸😂

Folk didn’t believe that pic was taken on the H. Avon because of the ’bear’ in the background taking a dump.😂 It was just another angler packing away his gear of course,…. here’s an edit without wildlife.😁

Ta Mark,… hope you’re keeping well.🙂

River back within its banks this morning,… for how long I wouldn’t like to say. A few pics from sunrise today. D, Stour btw.

Yes you did suggest the Stradic 3000s G. …good call. I remember the day actually,….. it’s when you and the other 2 piss takers were standing behind me when I was wading Throop . I’d been having problems with the Exage 3000 all morning,… the line tucked behind the spool and I had to undo the...

D. Stour at sunrise yesterday morning.

Hi Rob,… can’t say I’ve tried out all the suggestions from above plus I do like trotting with a c.pin if the swim and conditions are suitable. Given I’m a pretty useless caster with a pin compared with those who have used nothing else since childhood I often fall back to smallish fixed spools ...

Phone pic of D. Stour taken at Muscliff 26th Oct .

Two low light pics capturing autumn mist ,…. first is dusk on the H. Avon, second is dawn on the D.Stour.

Talking about using old reels,…. once or twice a year I use my old dad’s Mordex Merlin that he brought in the 50’s and I nearly ruined in the late 60’s when l ‘borrowed’ it without permission. Probably not quite in the spirit of this thread because I give it an outing for sentimental reasons...

I still have a Mitchell 300a which I brought new God knows how long ago which still does what it’s supposed to. When Mitchell brought out the new 300S skirted spool edition I brought a pair and used them for nearly all my fishing back then. I must admit they took a caning but I had more problems...
