IMO ....If you want 'waterproof', and breathable then it's going to be expensive, it'll need looking after (washing/re-proofing/re-activating), and it will leak after a while (especially at the seams). I now use a Snugpak Patrol Poncho (under £40) ....100% waterproof, needs no care, can be worn...

The swans are thriving anyway ......

👍 👍

😂 🤣 😂 I reckon this thread has gone way off the OP (well, lost the plot really😂). The question posed was ... what was our thoughts on flavouring hemp, not "Is there any benefit to be gained in flavouring baits in general". I think we've all added flavours to our baits, groundbaits, etc, if only...

The Teme : 🎶 "Where have all the barbel gone, long time pa-ah-sing"🎶 But, I SO love the place ....miles of it all to myself.

Overall I reckon I'm with Derek on this one. I must have tried 20+ different boilies over the years and they'll all 'work', but (IMO) only as they are bait i.e. they're edible and nutritious, so they get eaten. Basically I believe (on balance) that the flavour is the main attractant not the...

I'm the same ...I buy pre-drilled 'base' pellets (Dynamite usually) ... and if I want to fish with "Elips" I just soak a few in proprietary Elips Oil, if I want Krill pellets I soak a few in Sticky Krill bait dip etc. That makes good sense to me.

I've got and use various nets ....it's just a pity that any fish don't use mine 😵‍💫 N.b..I'd have thought the actual weight of the arms is such a small fraction of the total weight of a complete wet net (arms/net/spreader block) that it would make 'arm weight' almost inconsequential (e.g. a...

There's vehicle access across the town bridge in Bewdley from east side (Kiddy side) to the west side, and there's pedestrian access either way across that bridge. The next closest bridge (where access is available east/west or west/east) is the by-pass bridge, which is half a mile downstream.

First time back on the Middle Severn since Nov 2022 ... plagued by chublets, and blanked. Nice enough though.

Fully agree, proper. And how many of us had questions about that fish of Steve Terry.

The Teme's looking good now .... ....with bank-side lunch provided for the adventurous 😵‍💫 Hope y'all have a good start to your season.

Or one of these (they're less likely to unscrew when using ...... https://www.fishingmegastore.com/specialist-catapults-and-bait-accessories/stillwater-stainless-steel-weed-cutter~72805.html?&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=SHP_GR20&housecode=jl0254

Closed going out of Bewdley (i.e. heading east) towards Kiddy @Trevor Summerfield. Open if you're going from Kiddy and onto Bewdley High Street.

Not sure Ady, not seen him for 3-4 years. He's probably on a long sesh somewhere. 😂

Our Barry, eccentric?!! Wonderful guy, and he's enough to make a pig laugh 😂

But it's right next to Dumbleton Brook @Mark Pevy , which runs a few miles down to the Teme ...and I'm only 8 minutes away from the Teme itself. With the Teme's 18ft floods, that'll do me mate 👍

The Teme's looking much better now .... and the garden's now sorted ... so I'm ready for the off 😁 in a month's time👍

Hi All, for the last few years I've been using a manky old carp rod**, cut down from 12ft to 7ft (test curve >30lb 😂 ) for my spoppering. It was unwieldy, very heavy, and had the 'action' of a Trigger's broom handle. But for this season I've splashed out on a 6ft, 3lb t/c 'Spoppering Rod'. It's...

Happy Days 😁
