    So a pescatarian is a person that eats fish, but not meat. My son-in-law doesn't eat any fish, but does eat meat, does this make him a carnivore? No, he is an omnivore, because he eats everything else, bar fish and seafood. This new label 'pescatarian' is ridiculous. A person that eats fish...

    Is anyone, or has anyone been, a member of Swindon Isis?

    Perhaps ask at your local tackle shop, or email the club secretary. ;)

    Your first barbel photo

    I never fished the Chew, or even downstream of Bath, bar Saltford once or twice. The swim against the fence at Haydens was a bagging swim, over to the far bank. What are the chub and roach stocks like now?

    Your first barbel photo

    Goodness, I lost count of the fish I had along there. Up in the spinney was a swim with a reedbed, where you could wade out and trot through the funnel. Great sport with roach, dace, chub and barbel. Generally fishing hemp and tares.

    Habitat destruction

    That will help with bank erosion. Excellent. :mad: "It is understood the trees at water level were deemed to be creating a flood risk by catching debris and restricting the flow of water. The area is due to be sown with a wild flower seed mix and replanted with native trees." So the original...

    Free spirit rod price increase, again

    Just a thought re tackle prices. Ultimately we've been spoilt for many years with inexpensive tackle. 20+ years ago I bought a Diawa Tom Pickering, 13ft Match rod, second hand, for £90. Just an example Relatively, we are paying no more for our kit than what we were 25 years ago.

    Split peg leger stops

    Hi, I've been trying to find the leger stops that have a plug that splits open, and has a small hole in at the join end and a guide at the thick end, where you pass your main line through. I've come to the last one I have now and can't seem to find any, anywhere. They provide much better...

    Cork handle protection?

    I love the look of cork and would never dream of obscuring it. My rods are kept out in the open, so they can dry if wet and breath. Might as well have PVA if you're going to hide the beauty of cork.

    Cork handle protection?

    Btw. If your cork handle looks a little sad, give it a good clean with a Magic Eraser. It works a treat.
