    River Severn near Worcester

    As Mark mentioned pop into Alan's tackle. I'm not living that way anymore and only fished the Severn a few times as spent most my time on the teme. I got day tickets from Alan's on the weir below worcester and got into fish. All the best

    Autumn wye barbel approach (this weekend! )

    Graham no need to apologise at all thanks for asking. Yeah a tough day I spent 2 days there nearly 2 years ago. Never saw another angler and fished the end peg which is deeper and slower. However we got there in the dark to be greater by another 5 or so anglers that were quicker than me off the...

    Red Lion Bredwardine.. Day ticket stretch

    I fished the wye today and it fished really poorly across the whole stretch (not the red lion) most anglers blanked. In guess the river pretty much doubled in height over night. Hope its improves for you tomorrow and your son catches his first barbel. I helped my brother catch his first today so...

    Cadence great customer service and after care

    Always a massive point for me personally when buying any equipment is good customer service. No point having the best products if there's no faithfulness to customers once sold. I'm doing my first wye trip sat in 2 years. I bought the cr10 #4 feeder rod 2 years ago but never used it as the...

    Autumn wye barbel approach (this weekend! )

    Thanks cliff appreciate your honesty and simple advice. I know you fish the wye regularly with success. A little envious of your recent float fish session 😉 I'm not missing out next season. I've got sea bass on my door step but not the same. I'll report back thanks Jon

    Autumn wye barbel approach (this weekend! )

    Thanks Peter I'll bare that in mind. The swim i have fished previously actually produced a number of fish for me including a pb. I also lost 3-4 fish from memory 2 of which I could do nothing with. So guessing they'll be my first place to try. Again not in it enough but to me conditions are...

    Autumn wye barbel approach (this weekend! )

    Thanks Graham hope you have an enjoyable and fishy weekend. Yes i would of float fished and feel like I've missed out on months of decent today fishing conditions. Plus with my brother a feeder/ lead approach would seem the way ahead. Extra water and colour thinking they should be grubbing...

    Polarized sunglasses

    Many years ago i met a guy through a fly fishing forum. I. Used to meet him to fish whenever I was heading out on the Bristol waters. At the time it turned out he was the rep for ugly fish (Australian brand). Anyway some weeks later a parcel turned up with their top spec polarised glasses. I...

    5.5 inch lewtham centrepin

    Evening folks bought this but not going to be using it. Decent used condition spins well and lock works well. Some paint damage on the front and a bit on the rim. Ideally suit someone who's after the bigger reel but also not after aesthetics. I've not seen many this size around. I could weigh it...

    Chub in the winter

    A size 20 in a big chubs mouth is so crazy. I do it myself a fair bit but when you see it it's hard to believe it holds

    Centre pin advice please ?

    Here you go on Facebook. Speedia wide deluxe £90 posted very slight wobble. I'd say that's a decent reel to get going with. https://m.facebook.com/groups/252715818800717/permalink/1159271901478433/
