These pair of Bewick centre pins are in immaculate condition, the MK1's are considered to be of a higher quality than the later Korean made MK2's, story goes that they cost more to make than the original selling price, the UK engineering process was very costly Garry Mills of Mill Tackle...

Well we have to take into account that the EA have stocked over the last 10 years about 400,000 (or maybe more) Calverton mini barbel into the Trent catchment, this includes rivers like the Dove, the Derwent, the Anchor, The Mease, the Tame, the Soar and the Trent its self, the river at high...

It now all seems a bit strained and false to me, even their relationship appears to be a caricature of what it really is perhaps... Fishing to me is a far more a serious subject, I would never fish with their characters as they are always messing about and that becomes tiresome after a while...

I can go back further when Jill and Andy Orme ran the stretch, But I generally fished the opposite bank on the BAA side on their Brokamin stretch I had numerous doubles from there back in the 1990's, up to 13.10, with a few 11's 12's thrown in with some lovely back up Teme Tigers thrown in, it...

We have to accept barbel numbers on the river Teme are no where near what they were, I truly believe that there is little natrual recruitment in the Teme as Cattie Guttman Roberts proved, the barbel in the Teme now are just tourists from the lower Severn and ultimately get eaten by predators...

I checked out the Sausage Sizzle Lone Angler mystery with Des Taylor over the weekend and yes, Sausage Sizzle was in fact SBS Frankfurter, re labelled by Lone Angler as Sausage Sizzle...

Yes but Trev called it sausage sizzle....

I think Tref West bought his original Sausage Sizzle from SBS i.e. Des Taylor, however Des sold the business so my advice is to try SBS...?

A reply from the Angling Trust on this very matter that a fellow angler received today : "The Angling Trust has worked hard to maintain strong cross-party support for angling in Parliament and we are working with ministers on promoting all the benefits that angling has to offer. We will be...

Joe, no knickers are twisted here, its just a discussion piece, and worthy of discussion I think, but as anglers we would see it differently, however others will see it through different eyes... but I take your point.

Its always been seen that fish dont feel pain in the normal sense of things, this law and the setting up of a committee to enforce it and specifically to deal with this and other other related subjects will see it differently I fear, it will basically say that fish and other creatures with a...

So all animals with a backbone are to be recognised by the UK as being sentient, this could be passed over as an unusual word that we have rarely or never used, but if you are an angler, a fishery owner, its extremely important and has possible, significant ramifications for our future, "the...

yes just phone Garry...

The survival rate of aquacultured fingerling barbel is less than 2%...so 4000 would end up less than 100, so its an utter waste of time and money, 1500 were stocked into the Dorset Stour about 2 years ago, they disappeared without a trace ...

The Trent system and this includes the main river and most of its tributaries since 2011 have received nigh on 400,000 fingerling barbel at one time or another and remember Calverton is nearby, so any excess fish can be easily disposed of and put into the river, previous similar stockings on...

Praise indeed...
