    Sticky krill, on its own, glugged or wrapped in the paste. Or the active. Pacific Tuna if you can handle the overpowering smell on your fingers, especially if you use the glug

    How much longer ????

    There’s quite a few of these sorts of rods around now, used with a big spooled feeder or mini big pit carp reel to cast feeders very long distances on big waters for bream. I have a cheap Shakespeare 14’ continental feeder and it’s a great rod for the money. The match men love the free...

    The state of our rivers

    So the Government have u-turned because of all the public pressure and are committed to including a legal limit on sewerage discharges in the bill, is that correct? If so and it’s not a fudge then that’s a testament to the efforts of everyone involved. Thanks for making a real difference. As...

    Holdall

    If it’s the one I’m thinking of I use one of these for big Bream fishing. I was looking for something in between the drennan two Rod and the big carp holdalls. It can carry 2 made up rods and two in their bags which suits me if I’m fishing three rods and using a spod or marker rod. Like you...

    How much how often this time of year

    A basic question but if you’re fishing a river like the Wye this time of year how much bait do you put in and how often? Would you use a big feeder full of pellets and hemp or a pva mesh bag? Or Groundbait balls or use a dropper? How often would you cast?

    Harrison Chimera 3 rods? Alternatives?

    There’s a set of three 2.75 Chimeras on eBay at the moment. A bit pricey and they look like they’re ringed for Carping but you might be interested

    Snapped torrix

    Sorry to hijack the thread, where would I get a 2lb tip section to add to the 1.75lb on my 12’ factory build Torrix?

    One rod

    Fishing is about as good as it gets for being in the moment without actively meditating IMO. I think watching a float, quiver or Rod tip would put most of us in a meditative state without realizing it.

    🙂 I wouldn’t dream of contradicting a professional but I’ve been practicing Mindfulness since long before it became fashionable and it certainly helps me. 👍

    Having suffered from mental health problems most of my life I wish society had been more understanding when I was growing up. There is a rush of people trying to use it for their own benefit, it was always going to happen and I know that the psychotherapy and psychology communities are not very...
