Amen to that. Al

Missed the one below, anyone else got one to move on? ta Al

Hi Rob, I'm originally from Leicester and still a member of Derby Railway, the Upper Trent around Swarkestone, Weston etc holds plenty of Barbel and is only 45 mins away. They also have a decent stretch of the Dove although that's a bit busier than the Trent. Around £45 for the year with no...

Used but excellent condition complete with inner and outer rod bags. £100 no offers. Prefer collection/meet Chester/North Wales/Manchester. Pictures available. ta Al NOW SOLD - pending the usual.

Did anyone ever use a Newark Needle Float? I've got one somewhere but never tried to use it. I recently read an interview with the maker in an old Coarse Fisherman magazine and he put a hell of a lot of time and money into it. David Hall wasn't too impressed. regards Al

This reminds me of Spinal Tap. "No, we're not gonna do f**king Stonehenge!" Cheers Al

PM PM for you Julian re: Preston Sentient 15/17. Al

In that case it's 2 cheese for 1 garlic! Al :p Edit: Found some in Wrexham, hoping to try it later today!

Help I really like the sound of this stuff but there is none in my local store, asked at the info desk and no record of it and it doesn't show up in a google search. Can anyone oblige me a couple of tins? can swap for a couple of garlics if you like. Regards Al :)

Big Game Clear, 10 or 12lb. Can't get on with Sensor. Al

Thanks for that Keith, they will be appearing in my local store too. Cheers Al

Thinking Anglers Rod Case This one was recommended to me by BFW members a few years ago and I haven't looked back since, it's more expensive though around £40. A thorough review here http://www.purepiscator.com/viewReview.aspx?id=21 Regards Al

A year already blimey where does the time go? I think the site is better than ever so thanks to Andy and all concerned and all the best for the future. Regards Al :)

Line Past & Present With regard to line strengths past and present, is it not true that diameters have reduced whilst maintaining breaking strains? I couldn't imagine getting a bite in the early 70/80s with a 10lb line hence we had to use lighter lines. regards Al

Thanks Jim, seems as good a place to start as any and at least I can just concentrate on one discipline to begin with, just a couple of questions is wet fly also good for coarse fish (in season of course) and what weight rod/line I was thinking 4/5. Regards Al

thanks for the replies, unfortunately an unexpected car repair bill has put a dent in getting started. In the meantime I've got a few books out of the library and I'm now more confused than ever, so much so I don't know where to start wet, dry, nymph. I don't know exactly where I'll be fishing...

Ok, looks like I will need to put my hand in my pocket again :( Saw the Okuma on flyforums. thanks Al

this might be a daft question but I'm looking to start putting a fly fishing kit together so what is the difference between the centrepins we use for coarse fishing and those for fly? They do seem to be marketed as a completely different reel but then noticed someone with a Okuma Aventa with fly...

Best Wishes to all the BFW team. Regards Al

I'm actually quite disappointed I didn't get any socks or pants, I'll have to stick with the holey ones :( Cheers Al
