Always intrigued as to the differing descriptions of the service offered. 'Ghillie' or 'guide'. Personally, not for me, unless you're fishing somewhere abroad and need the use of a boat and tackle. On the waters in this country, if it's personal instruction on a particular technique, fair...
I use red maggot a fair bit for my tenching and red pellet for barbel. Inevitably, it gets onto and into the cork handles. I've found that diluted washing up liquid/ tepid water and a sponge to clean does the job. They come up looking like new. Just an end of season clean then stored away.
The Clyde has a record of producing big coarse fish specimens. I was informed by a Scottish friend of specimen roach catches in the early 1980's.
I think Joe is on the right track as an explanation for the lack of Barbel in the Scottish rivers. Plus game fishing interests will persecute the...
After not owning a brolly (other than the occasional one that were soon destroyed in the winter weather). I purchased a Korum Pentalite. I've had it about four years now. A good piece of kit. Quick to put up and down. Survives wet and windy weather and I can just about fit underneath for...

Hi Adam. Yes I'll have it thanks. My car is with the insurer being fixed currently. Is that a problem for you? I can pay you via PayPal. Have you packed fishing in Adam? Shame if you have Cheers Ady
There was a media announcement a few days ago, that Yorkshire Water, and another company, were heavily fined, a certain percentage of their turnovers. Ofwat (likely toothless tigers) have stated that the companies cannot pass these fines onto their customers. The share holders have to take the...
I've had a pair of Dave Lumbs C3's for some time now. Good rods for big rivers. They bend when playing with little if any hook pulls and cast decent sized leads. They're not long range casting rods, but there's not many circumstances, when I have the need to put a bait on the other side of the...
A leopard with a will would definitely take out a human being. Though a tiger and lion are on a different scale. There's even an isolated species of Bengal tiger, in a swamp environment in India, that has an extremely aggressive predation instinct for human beings.
