I think tbh people buy those 3” ones from garden centres, buy 5 for what ever and just don’t anticipate how big they get. When that fish at year 3 hits a foot in a pond only 3/4ft long they “release it to the wild”, unaware or uncaring of the potential issues that could arise. Also people buy...

Not uncommon. I saw a Golden Ghost on the H.Avon a few years back.

The overuse of bait alarms drives me mad and it’s one of the primary reasons I don’t fish day ticket waters very often. I will use one if I’m on an overnighter but certainly in daylight, unless I’m asleep for some reason, there’s no real purpose. I think some people like other people to hear...

That’s a cracking idea. Some years ago there was a swim I could of done with floating a bait down stream so there was no cast splash. This idea would of done the job.

Looks like the temperature is well on the drop now.

That has a very useful look about it, Terry’s Persuader looks good but also looks like an invite from Mr Plod after some well meaning person reports your “zombie knife”.

Legend has it, he carries a laser level.

Or deciding wether the gear was of the right brand to get caught on. :lol:

Heading East the H.Avon is under 4 miles, the D.Stour is West just under 4.5 miles. So I don’t go far tbh. I tend to visit the Wye for a day or two, which despite my intentions tends to be every other year. Ross on Wye is about 130/40 miles each way.

There’s bits you can night fish both. More options for this on the Stour. An RDAA membership with a night permit, would offer you night fishing on the Stour. I know some holiday anglers will fish the Avon till kick off then transfer to the Stour for the night.

I’m pretty sure they are part of the “seed blend” that I used last season.

Without wishing to be “that guy” and I genuinely welcome the reintroduction, should we not concern ourselves with fixing the fish tank before throwing more fish in it?

If it’s anything like the other engines in the Volkswagen Audi Group then I think you’ve got a few miles left bud. Each of my previous three VWs have had in excess of 150k trouble free miles, one I got 170k out of it before it was chopped in.

A fair point. I suppose there’s a few variables there, clearly a Strawberry grown outside in the U.K. in season and sold in the U.K. would be the lowest Carbon cost. However one grown in an artificially heated/lit environment could potentially have a higher cost than one transported from the...

Indeed a good proportion of my fridge was dragged across the continent at huge Carbon cost, for our convenience. The British public demand strawberries in December and want to pay tuppence for the privilege, it’s just no good for us. I admit I’m guilty of it. Low price, low profit, low shelf...

Manure is as old as the hills, the ability to move away from manure based fertilisers which were once exported and traded onto manufactured fertilisers is in part what drove the industrial revolution.

I’m not as old as done here I’m aware but I’d kind of forgotten what mail order looked like pre the internet. It’s quite quaint really isn’t it, sending your little slip off in the post or phoning someone up. Usually off a page in a magazine. A few of my hobbies back then, mail order was the...

No, they’re weird things. Very resilient.

I had a go with a pair of Orvis ones a few years back, they were outstanding. I currently have Oakleys, brilliant driving glasses, reasonable fishing glasses.

At the end of the day, who is to blame. If people had been more responsible and respectful the issue wouldn’t of occurred. I haven’t fished the place and was interested, for the experience if nothing else. I’m sure there will much uproar in some corner of the internet but if things had got that...
