Just finished reading it. Bought as he is a local angler and fishes the Avon and Stour so was hoping for some useful insights. The author certainly has his own approach to fishing these rivers and it is well written and an enjoyable read, with plenty of photos of big barbel and some impressive...

PM sent.

Just checked for any news on CC13 on their website and it comes up as 404 - Not Found. Also checked their face ache page and that hasn't had any activity in ages. Given their recent production difficulties and delays, I was wondering whether they were suffering financial difficulties and the...

Second series on BBC2 soon. Dave

Stephen (and all others), Thanks for your replies. Hopefully, we may see some rain next week, along with cooler temperatures, which should help a bit. I was not seeking to start another national debate, as the conditions this year are more localised than last year's soaring temperatures and...

My regular water is the Hants Avon. This is currently running at a water temp of just over 20c, having been over 22c a week or so ago. Mean Daily Flow data from the Knapp Mill site is showing this as being less than during the exceptional weather last summer. Salmon fishing has been suspended...

Received my copy yesterday and it is up to the usual very high standards. Sorry to see that Rob Shallcroft is standing down as Editor but I am sure that Martin will make certain that the editorial standards don't slip and the quality is maintained. Dave

Any update, Martin? Dave

You obviously don 't have a mouse/rat problem then Tony. I now have to keep all my bait (apart from tins) in robust plastic storage boxes with lids while I endeavour to get rid of the mice that have found hemp, pellets, boilies etc to their liking. They are also very good at trashing tackle...

Martin, I accept that you have never made any promises but on 23 December you said that CC11 was going to the printers in early January and it wan't in subscribers' hands until the latter part of February. And your own Catch Cult website clearly states CC11 - January 2019 & CC12 - March 2019...

Paul, I believe that there was a study on the River Don in Sheffield, which pointed to male roach turning into females, which obviously is a major issue for recruitment. The estrogen in the contraceptive pill is the main factor. Don't know what has happened since then but I'm fairly sure...

Apparently the eels in the Thames in London are also coke heads because of the widespread recreational use of cocaine by Londoners. Does that mean they wriggle even more than usual....?!?! It does make you wonder how far from London you'd have to travel to find pure, uncontaminated water? Dave

Martin, While I am sympathetic to the problems that you are encountering in producing Catch Cult, it would be appreciated if we could be kept informed of progress (or the lack of it). Just as it is rude to be late for an appointment, it is also very bad form to make promises that you can't...

Don't forget the lard! (This thread is definitely getting more and more like the Python 'Four Yorkshiremen' sketch....) Dave

I doubt they're spawning any more and won't be until we have another lengthy hot spell of weather...... Dave

Seems like I've read that before somewhere!?!? Dave

Don't suppose there's any chance of it appearing before the May Day holiday? Dave

Interested in one of the reels. Can you just confirm that it is rear drag before I make you an offer? Dave

Thanks for clarifying that Mike. I see that in the top right hand corner of the ad, there is a (very) small blue right arrow with an even smaller letter i inside it and if you click on that, it provides information on the Google ads and also provides the facility to either block specific ads or...

I suspect the ads are nothing to do with BFW but are, effectively, the way that the site is funded. They will be driven by a system that identifies the themes on the site and hence generates fishing treated banner ads. Not a lot that they can do about it really but it is appalling that such...
