Similar to the above. I will have a good tidy out of the garage and do the woodwork painting indoors that didn't get done last year. I have an eye on some local lakes that may have some non carp potential but won't be getting started until April at the earliest. Of course it may be the case...

My first barbel rod was the 1.5lb 12 foot version. I loved it and was very sad when someone stole it from my garage. I still use an 11ft 1.75 duolite for most of my small river fishing. It has become very much part of me over many years. Great for touch ledgering and rolling as well as on a...

Like many others I have fished with Trefor and my understanding of touch legering improved massively as a result. Great when fishing close to snags, in combination with sight fishing and with big lumps of meat in floods. Don't do it as much now with barbel in mind as you can be standing still...

My bib and brace arrived today in Large Size. The kids in my class at work assure me that it is a good fit and the quality of zips and Velcro seems good. The material is a bit shiny but no doubt some Bristol Avon mud will soon tone it down. For £25 I'm really impressed. It will be interesting to...

Hi, I use a kayakers' app called 'Riverapp'. You can choose your favourite rivers and in the free version you can see the past 24-48 hours as discharge level graphs. Give it a go.

Thanks everyone! I will try a large to replace my 10yr old Wychwood pair with failing zips and velcro. Happy shopping.

Can anyone with the salopettes give me a pointer on sizing please? I am 6 foot with 32ish inside leg. Do I want Large or XL? Many thanks in advance.

I didn't return to fishing in time to catch the prolific days on the BA and it has always been rock hard for me at least. My timing has been poor all round as I lived half a mile from the Gt Ouse in the mid nineties and never fished it. Most seasons I am happy with 3 or 4 fish (barbel) and enjoy...

That's a good read, thanks for bringing it back to the 'top.'

Very sad. Met him a couple of times last summer and he was very helpful.

I am excited about starting on a new river for me. I have done lots of mooching about and plotting and even saw some barbel last time I visited. Hopefully the rain will happen as predicted during the course of this week to give it a clean through and to get the weirs flowing again. Pretty sure...

The Chub are still there in the summer.

I grew up in Taunton and fished the Tone a lot. Haven't fished it seriously for 20+years however i always have a look when i am down there. French Weir is free and was good for dace and Chub. I saw salmon climbing the fish pass 3 years ago. Above the weir towards silk mills was great for...

Hard working getting past the Chub but found a roach at dusk.

BA at Limpley Stoke today.

1lb8oz and a pb. Lovely end to a great day on the BA.

Gorgeous misty morning on the BA. 5 nice roach on the tip. These are two of the bigger ones. Wish i had brought my scales for the one in the net, it was very broad across the back.

Gardner for me too.

Hi Alex, I was in Ross at the beginning of last week and I would say it was worth the drive. The White Lion is just below the bridge and I believe you can fish the opposite bank up as far as the Rowing Club on a day ticket. It was very low when I was there and I thought upstream of the bridge...
