Keith Speer, RIP It tells one something about BfW, when following Mike Wilson's very sad announcement just after 9.20 this morning, that every member poster has expressed their own feelings with regard to Keith and All other messages on the forums have been left unattended for over 12 hours...

Reads to me like a fine work of fiction... and some eccentric photo-shop work, old Grey One:eek::eek: Nah, only jesting mate, a really good read, goes well with some of your earlier lengthier efforts and I guess I've heard of the venue somewhere in one of those too. You really ought to...

Mr. Grant's articles.... Many thanks for those two links, Paul; very, very interesting reading and succinct details from Ian-the-maestro-Grant. Mike

Kennet around Hungerford Sean, If this 'private' stretch is below Hungerford and around Avington, where the river goes under the railway line and you are on the right bank downstream, then there's a wonderful area at the lower end. I was fortunate enough to have a day there with the...

Upper Trent fish looks as though the lads scales could do with a check; it's a beauty and looks every inch a 14+!! Mike

True, Graham, .........and he's had some large ones on 'em, though nothing approaching 18+lbs, but doubles all the same and he uses 'pins with them too. I've watched the through actions of these canes and been amazed at the pressure that can be applied when you have faith in your line &...

Ade, This is probably the most interesting thread I have read on here for eons, so thanks for starting it and eliciting so many cultured discussion points. There's been alot of old friends posting, with some fine, considered views too, so thanks all. I have only one "grass" rod these...

Keith, Another excellent read of a tale told so well. Also an educational piece as was not aware of 'ryepecks' use previously so thanks for that. Very pleased to note that you appeared to have considered the 'rat-hole-injury' and only had to hobble as far as the punt from your car, with...

Andy, Please check your PM's and get back to me asap, please, Mike

Tongue in Cheek........... I really hope those who chose to post some quite inadequate comments on the 'Congratulations' thread have read, digested and further consider Keith's (and latterly Pons) wise words, above. Here you have the essence of how and why some anglers can achieve what most...

Proportional representation!!! Hey Up 'Topher, Well said! I did think earlier today, when I actually caught up with this thread, that the Mr. Geoff guy could not possibly know you (or your dimensions) to be making such a comment. Seeing as how I haven't seen you in the flesh for a couple of...
