    Great intro to barbel video

    I was sent this video by a mate as they give BFW a little plug. I've watched it all and think it's a great video in terms of content and production. I can imagine seeing these guys on BBC2 with their own show in a few years time!

    Online Maggots

    Hi all, Does anyone know of anywhere that does maggots/worms through the post? I've just paid through the nose on Willy Worms (£6 delivery!!) to find the bag of maggots split inside the box on arrival. Very poor aftersales service without even offering to refund postage so I won't be using...

    Multipurpose line recommendations

    Hi, I'm planning on fishing locally with my boy next week for bits and bobs and need to buy some 3lb line that we can use for both ledgering and float fishing. Does anyone have any recommendations please? Thanks, Andy

    The river wye .

    The stretch immediately below Kerne Bridge is not available to day tickets, I believe it’s full Worcester members only. I think day tickets can only fish downstream of the canoe launch... The stretch above the church at Symonds Yat has very limited swims and gets absolutely hammered 🙄

    BFW I-Powers v-2

    Hi Paul, I’m so pleased that you’re happy with your new rods, they did look fantastic 🙂 To be honest, it was your commitment to a pair that meant we were willing to pull the trigger on an order of blanks. I hope they both get put through their paces very soon. Cheers, Andy Ps. Alan...yours...

    PHP Software Update

    Hi all, Just to let you know that I've upgraded the version of the software the website runs on (PHP). The last time I did this it caused a couple of issues with image upload on the forum. I've just tested it and it seems OK but if you spot any issues whilst using the website please let either...

    Light weight chairs

    I also have a Duralite with the arm rests. It’s a great chair! Really lite and relatively comfy. I’d certainly go for the arm rests for a bit of added luxury. Locking legs are useful and it’s very easy to carry. Cheers, Andy

    WARNING - chill out!!!

    Hi all, It’s become obvious recently that there are some personality clashes on the forum that are manifesting themselves in public backbiting and tedious arguing. This is a poor advert for the site and is becoming VERY tiresome. During these gloomy and depressing times we need the forum to be...
