    Wow that was a good watch. Amazing what waters hold in the uk. I've heard of the reservoir but never that river/ steam. Assuming the carp got into there from the reservoirs? Big effort to get there and go fishing. Full commitment and great results. Not sure it's be sharing that might well be...

    Richard not just me that's impulsive then! ;)😆 I've not seen the 11 years afloat so might yet be in that boat (excuse the pun!). I live on the north Devon coast and picked a kayak to get bass fishing off this season. My equivalent to the rivers but not been able to go out yet. Really looking...

It seemed slightly strange in terms of the diameter as braid is so thin for its braking stain your likely to them use a...

    Some centrepin casting success!

    Thanks gents I was hoping to get a few replies. I'm using my 15ft diawa connoisseur and I guess being longer with the loop cast it enables more line to be drawn off the reel and a further cast? I agree Chris larger floats are the way for me. I'd love a casting day with someone that can cast and...

    Some centrepin casting success!

    Alan im sure you'll be fine. I didn't give my attempts very long. Im assuming your going for the Wallis cast? Im going to continue practicing regularly. I guess what i did is a variation on the Nottingham cast. That is usually 2 loops but I was trying 3. Let us know you do. I totally agree with...

    Some centrepin casting success!

I love fishing for the fact that it offers so many different forms and techniques in which we can enjoy to essentially do the same thing of catch fish be it fresh water, bait spin fly salt etc. Anyway I have wanted to use...

    Spare eyes or ceramic ring?

    Hi guys on my last trip to the wye I managed to fold my korum neotric 1.75lb top. Despite it being old its only been used a couple of times. Anyway no come back as expected from them. I was forced to use the quiver tip top and found that an eye ceramic was missing from the 6 oz tip. Best to...
