Any news on CC12? Would be good if it was available before Easter. Dave

Totally agree, Graham. Also, given that the consultation has been closed for almost a month now, the continuation of this debate is definitely futile until we know the outcome! Dave

Slight change of tack here but my local river, the Hants Avon is currently running at a temperature of over 9c, having been as low as 3c at the beginning of the month. The temperature has risen steadily through the month and with more unseasonably warm weather still to come, is likely to stay...

I'll have the Drennan hooks and the bank sticks if they're still available. If you can confirm postage cost, I'll arrange a PayPal payment. Thanks, Dave

Declining trade may be part of the reason for the closure of local tackle shoos but ever increasing rents and soaring business rates are a significant factor as well. Most tackle shops never made a fortune, not helped by the seasonal nature of the trade, but managed to get by. However, that is...

And back....

Safely received this morning, Martin, and another cracking read by the looks of it! Any idea of a timetable for CC12 yet? Dave

A bump for you Mike. Surely someone must be interested in these reels?!?! Dave

No sign of my copy yet; have they been posted yet, Martin? Dave

It is perhaps worth pointing out that fishing for spawning fish is illegal under the terms of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act, so how does that square with scrapping the close season? It also means that a lot of anglers are fishing illegally on stillwaters in the spring, even though...

PM sent. Dave

And will we now be on a revised schedule for CC12 too, bearing in mind that it's almost February now? Dave

Seems like this discussion is getting a bit like the dreaded Brexit - everyone has an opinion and many of these are strongly held and diametrically opposed.... Fully accept your views Mark but not sure that the analogy with canals is an appropriate one. My perception is that since the 60s and...

I was thinking more along the lines of "Spam, spam, spam, spam..." Dave

Sounds great (NOT!), Damian. Might push up the cost somewhat though....!!! What about the at your peg waiter service for food and drinks?? Not to mention bait and tackle requirements.... Dave

And there was me thinking that they must be for hanging your jingle bells on....!!! Merry Christmas. Dave

Don't suppose the EA would be interested/bothered to do anything but the owners/ lessees should and should be informed with as many details as possible so that they can deal with him. Also, any clubs that he is a member of should be notified, as he should be kicked out for bringing the sport...

Thanks for the update, Martin. Will await details with interest. Is the delay in publishing CC11 likely to have any impact on the timing of CC12 or is it too early to say at this stage? Dave

Not a bad day then Alex, but could have been better..... Shame about the lost fish and it is surprising how what is a good bait one day is totally ignored another....!?!? As the saying goes, if it was catching, it wouldn't be called fishing! Dave
