    Rod bargains

    Yes, very good , appreciate the humour and yes you're right the fish will not notice the difference. However the right tool for the job will make it easier to get it done which is surely the object of it?

    Rod bargains

    I can say for certain that so long as you understand the purpose of the rods they will. I have a pair of them, a pair of original power mesh specialist and a pair of freespirit barbel seekers. all different, all do different jobs and all in their own way good at what they do. you just have to...

    Rod bargains

    I can vouch for the fact that these do exactly what they were designed for. Sure they’re not the nicest looking, they’re a little heavy but the big rings don’t snag up when rubbish is coming down a flooded river and the tips are soft enough to cushion under the tip lunges whilst casting a lot of...

    Classic rods clear out

    Hi Richard, thanks for the advice. Im looking for a rod that is soft enough to register the bites of shy chub but with enough backbone / leverage to prevent that last dive under your feet that the bigger fish always seem to have left in them. I bought an acolyte plus 11 foot feeder which is a...

    Feel angry, sad and frustrated

    I have now had a call from the EA asking for more details. The young lady I spoke to fully understood the concern for fish welfare and agreed in relation to this incident that all does not appear right given the manner in which the fish behaved. I have no idea what her background is but she...

    Feel angry, sad and frustrated

    I have since last message reported this incident to EA. They took all my details, relevant details of the incident including do people drink from the water or canoe. No mention of the species of fish or their symptoms at all…… maybe I’ll get a follow up call from someone who will show more interest?

    Feel angry, sad and frustrated

    It was the Bailiff who told me during the summer what was causing the foam, though the smell gave it away. He told me that the environment agency are aware and that its a regular occurrence which I've seen for myself. I think its probably been through the system rather than untreated, however as...

    SOLD Two Diawa TDM 4012 QD’s

    I have for sale a pair of Diawa TDM 4012 qd reels. They were both bought by me this season and come complete with spare spools boxes and associated paperwork. They’re lovely reels but having started back fishing last spring I have just not had the use from them that I thought I would. The reels...

    Feel angry, sad and frustrated

    It’s a regular occurrence Mike and the EA are aware. Early summer mornings when it’s cool it looks like a bubble bath, unfortunately smells like a motorway service gents. My point, not well made is that the fish behaved like summer when returned. None were out of the water long but all took a...

    Feel angry, sad and frustrated

    Fishing the tidal Trent last Sunday. Suddenly a film comes floating downstream on the surface, the gills are going mad picking stuff off. Myself and another angler managed four midsize fish between us but both mentioned the fact that the fish did not go back well. This occurred after the river...

    Feel angry, sad and frustrated

    Unfortunately we need public support. The same public that are outraged at micro plastic in the sea and appalled at the sight of turtles eating plastic bottles, the same well known nature program presenters who appeal to that public to do something about it seem not to make the fact that the...
