The Morden Hall Park AC has no number provided for membership and as Daniel stated, just fish the free stretch. All the largest fish caught as far as I know have come from there. It can be quite heavily fished, but there a reasonable amount of fish around, albeit small. The odd decent size fish...

Seeing some of the stunning pics of French rivers, it reminded me of rivers in South Korea, when I first picked up fishing 3 1/2 years ago. If only at the time I had fully appreciated fishing for Barbel, it would have been amazing (I only lured fished for Black Bass at the time). To be specific...

I've only targetted grayling a few times and I wish someone had told me how delicate their Dorsal fins are. The only time I tried to weigh one, I noticed a split where it had seperated part way down the middle. I've equally been nervous since. It seemed to swim of with gusto, but unsure how much...

Thanks, the pointy end it is. I'm hoping to go this monday and will try to put this into practice. Sadly the fox rage drogue seems to one of the few with only the one rope. I don't mind if the boat does not drift in a straight line, just want something more consistent than I was getting...

Just had a quick check of their rules: https://anglianwaterparks.co.uk/sites/default/files/2020-09/AW%20Fishing%20Rules%202020%20-%20published_2.pdf I was worried I was doing something wrong so had a check. Seems no mention of the nets or drogues. A bit odd concerning the nets, as you say cross...

No idea concerning drogues, it's not mentioned in the rules I read and the staff saw me as well as others birding with them. Perhaps an old rule? They do supply their own nets but most people brought their own. The larger of the two nets supplied, meant for pike are far to small, especially...

I found out the hard way concerning pulling on one rope 🤣 I'm using the fox rage drogue as it was in stock and reasonably priced for the size. https://www.foxrage.com/home/product/fox-rage-drogue?b=Rage&c=tools-equipment It does not go that deep (the longer the rope the deeper it seemed to...

Welcome, I'm also new here and found the help invaluable. Importantly, unlike other forums I had tried in the past, I have yet to experience the tribalisation of one or more groups fighting each other and everyone has been friendly. Also the no naming waters rule you get on some forums is...

I’m hoping for some advice on how to get the most out of using a drogue when fishing. This month I went twice to Rutland for my first UK Zander and noticed that my boat was moving slightly faster than a couple of other boats near me. One, just like me, had it over the side of the boat but was...

So I've since found out 😅

For chub, Perch particularly, but sadly not the barbel which I really wanted to target. Also the joining price very reasonable considering how much bank you have access to.

Going tomorrow to Rutlands for my first trip targetting Zander. Conditions not ideal, but could be worse. With the wind, hoping one drogue is all that's needed, as that's all I have. I know most have a second rod left over the edge of the boat and relying on the motion to give the lure action...

4lbs 😂 I've got someway to go... but expecting far better now I know where to go, have a suitable rod and shortly the reel to match. Looking forward to 2022.

yes, exactly. That's what I love about it, normaly something you would expect from a filter. I'm not the best photographer, but love the atmosphere it exudes (ok, maybe getting a little carried away there 😅 )

I totally agree. I may be new to the sport, but having started with lure fishing, I have got into the habit of never staying too long in any one spot, no matter how good it looks. Several months back, I arrived at a spot where three anglers were packing up. They looked miserable and stated that...

The Great Ouse at Olney. My first fishing club, that I joined last year. Not the best fishing but lovely area. Taken as night fell, the nightime pic, wasn't edited, just how it came out on my cheap phone. I actually like how it came out however.

I'm a fan of The Vass products. I went for the bib n brace option for winter, but they also do just the trousers if you prefer and have options from heavy duty, to lighter, both in winter or summer versions. The smock in the winter lined version I have...

I think the real question for me is, has any invasive fish species ever been stopped (ignoring any that have been unsuccessful due to the climate not being suitable or unsuitable for rivers as a habitat). I ask as in South Korea the Crucian is the most fished species either for pleasure or...

I'm about to take up Terry's offer on the Shimano OC, but I have to admit I really like my Emcast BR LTs. I own three of them (2500/3000/5000) and find the line lay average but lovely drag for the price, particularly as I got all mine on ebay around the £65 mark. I've not had the pleasure of...

Sounds like I'm your man. I'll take you up on that if that's ok. Let me know how you prefer payment to be made via dm. Thanks a mill
