Not a member Ben. I have been guested there before though. Super fishing! Like someone's said though, you can get a cheap day ticket for the field below which is really good as well.

I've got both Drennan SS twistlocks and they are great! I do want something a bit longer for certain swims thought, so I'm thinking of getting the Acolyte 4m. The only thing is, they are a take apart design and I'm not sure how much I would trust it... Has anyone on here used a take apart...

I've never heard that one before Mark! I'll give that a go this winter on a difficult venue I've been fishing for Roach and Skimmers.

Thanks Mark, I will be on the look out for those!

Thanks Andrew, sounds like it's just what I am after!

For those with iPhones, have a look at RiverApp. There's an app for Android I used to use as well, but the I can't remember it's name. If you search river levels on app stores they will come up.

it wasn't necessarily an answer directly to the OP's preferences but meant as a general option to those who are less abled and want to catch barbel...
