Does that mean a cull?

Likewise Ian, I have a pretty extensive collection so please drop me a note and let me have some specifics. Best wishes, Steve

Hi Paul, yes it is. Steve

I was tucked away on the Wye a few seasons ago when a car came slowly along the far bank then stopped almost opposite me. A shotgun barrel appeared from the window and the guy shot a canada goose which was one of around 20 having a breather on the far bank beach. I did reflect on the fact...

This is the high end version - 9 foot handle, 12K plain weave carbon, glass hyperfil composite epoxy resin. This is a lockdown purchase at a time when I was lamenting the death of my existing landing net handle, subsequently made better than new by a fellow BFW'er (thanks Mr G). As a result...

Well, I'm impressed by both the quality of the production and the speed with which the BFW shop got it to me. Very much looking forward to reading this, it looks superb. Out of interest, does anyone know how many copies were produced?

Just ordered - I like the idea of idiosyncratic...

Very nice video, lovely stretch - thanks for sharing Mark

Issue 3 was the rare one - I can't remember why but it took me a while to obtain a copy. Good luck with the hunt

Thanks Dave, must be my suspicious nature...

Has anyone else been contacted by the Wye & Usk Foundation asking for £20 monthly contributions to enable them to monitor water quality?

Thanks for all your replies - I will get a couple of the recommendations and see what works best for me. Best wishes, Steve

Hi guys, We all love the What Bivvy Slippers? type threads - don't we?! Anyway, I am after a hook sharpener that I can carry with me and use on the bank - so any recommendations gratefully received. Many thanks, Steve

It depends... If I've just got a few hours or if I'm fishing the Wye, I'll take one rod and rove - two rods are more trouble than they are worth in such a scenario. If I am fishing a big river (Thames, Trent) I will usually fish in a different way, baiting so the fish come to me rather than...

Tackle theft was so rife on Darenth back in the 80s that a mate of mine, having had his buzzers and rods stolen while he slept several times, painted his rods and buzzers bright pink. It worked!

Without wishing to tempt fate I have never had a problem on the bank but did feel extremely uncomfortable on a (new to me) club stretch of the Thames some years ago. When I turned up I saw that the car park was strewn with broken glass - never a confidence boost. As I set up I noticed some...
