Just read on FB there is a new lake being prepped in nearby Forest of Dean. It's an established small lake that the new owners intend to net all the silvers and carp Under 18 lb .…and fill in with 'whackers' ..already got the bivvy size dancefloor pegs and removed nuisance trees . Serious...

Of cat gut?

Whilst waiting for the warks Avon to oblige, I am having fun with the silvers and my new rod addition that was a mere £18 and was cheaper at £9 of late...the brilliant Shakespeare concept light tip at 10 foot, coupled with a baby Stradic 4lb line great fun, small bread feeder and flake ...what...

Never seen a Pine. Pine Marten but would love to cross that one off. I have looked at some YouTube clips and honestly there is nothing to convince me I am looking at a big apex cat...there was a better offering of a black feline in north Wales, on y.t but again the quality was appalling which is...

But that is my point Ady, there is no evidence that I have seen, and I think now you might be testing my innocent nature😄

My point is, not that we hunt 'them' and why would we if they don't exist...rather if they did exist we as anglers are well positioned, and armed with modern cameras to prove their existence. I may have missed something but have not seen any evidence either dead or alive of these cats on any...

Small hooks down to # 18 are brilliant for providing a good hook hold for Chub, and they always hook in the scissors. Of course the problem is smaller species, so better in the winter months I guess. Contrary to belief in low clear rivers I am finding worm to be a great Chub bait, they have...

Goes with his cut off denim blue jeans?

BS Huan..you doubled up qty's anyway, but you have at least attempted to justify I suppose our guilty little secrets.🤭

In Tewkesbury Marina at the minute.

4.25''

At the risk of repeating...I accept that there might be the odd escaped cat, but even that I am sceptical, even moreso that they are breeding in the wild in UK ...very fanciful thinking and up there with the Loch Ness myth and vapour trails. We anglers are probably the best eyes and ears, we...

Sorry if being thick, but what?

But they do need a partner, and they do have quite a complex courtship routine, you know wine, dine, no kissing first date, and when there are not many suitable mates due to scarcity I would wager there is no breeding of big cats thus far in this country in the wild. If you can, or anyone show...

Its horses for courses really, the Wye in its pomp was similar, even I with then very basic gear managed to luck out multiple bags of barbel, these fish would hook themselves before the feeder settled. For me and I suspect all others on here is that odd big fish that rewards you when you least...

Minted 😉

You could always bid me? 🤔

What's wrong with a Crow Quill Avon? He says other anglers tell him to ''feeder fish and ditch the float'...and then I noted who the author is...............

That's pretty bad Neil. I have heard other bad things regarding their reels too. However I do have a soft spot for their older green rods as do many others. Enjoy your new rods.

Blimey Neil, what happened?🤔
