Start now, the warmer the water the more likely they are to chase down a lure or jig.

My MP, didn’t vote. Cheers mate.

Thinking positively, this issue we’ve been banging on about for years and has gone unresolved for decades, by a mostly indifferent public has finally gone mainstream in a big way. People that would normally switch off when I start ranting a bit on the subject are now telling me about it (shows...

I can’t decide wether that’s funny or sad.

Big money doesn’t share, it just pats itself on the back.

It’s not over yet, this will bounce back and forth a bit yet. The government won’t take the amendments from the lords at first hit, it’s billy bluster stuff. It’s a massive bill and the bit concerned here is only a fraction of it. Bit of pantomime, public and media backlash and some of the...

I purchased one of these and it’s made things much better...

Probably left handed.

I believe the threshold for tax to be applied when importing from the EU into the U.K. is £135, so you swung just in.

I’m having less and less confidence in pellet these days, it just doesn’t seem to pull fish like it used to.

When I fish meat, it’s directly on the hook. Using the quick change swivels means my hook length can be detached and the loop pulled through the meat down to the hook, this damages the meat far less and provides a more durable bait.

No no, Dace, Chublets and Barblets. All between 3 and 6”.

Probably should of explained, the Grey centre which was unfortunately not as clear as I thought when I took it is a mass of fingerling Dace, Chublets and Barblets.

Hampshire Avon’s future.

I would say Anthony though, that you can with a feeder and a stiff mix swing or bounce it into position on the flow. You can’t do that with PVA as the bag will of melted by the time you swing it position.

Mesh bag, solves the problem.

I think the fly in their ointment so to speak will be their own behaviour. If they start or continue to land places for lunch breaks trespassing and leaving litter etc they will make few friends amongst land owners many of which will be by the nature of the beast in touch with their preferred...

If I’m in the position of using a bait which I intend to sit on for an hour or two or three, like boilies, then it’s a PVA bag. I prefer the subtler presentation of a lead. If I’m planning on repeated casts, every 15 minutes or so, then it’s a feeder. Equally if it’s a tiny bait like maggot or...

So they say; Avon on the Rise, Stour on the fall.

The issue here really is what are you trying to kill and what’s an acceptable balance of risk and probability. Most parasites aren’t going to survive drying out and UV (sunlight) exposure. But some especially the “egg” phase could. Warm (in excess of 37c) soapy or mildly chlorinated (bleached)...
