I'm in the same club, and it's a jump yes, but I'll pay anyway. To be honest £100 is a drop in the ocean compared to what i spend on fishing in a year. I have commented on the BAA site a few times that I'd pay £100 for that if they got rid of this silly 'hour after sunset' rule, at £40, that...

Zero abstraction in winter?

Pots of gold on the Warks Avon after a downpour....

A pastime, but potentially a religion for me at least. I'd certainly be lost without it, especially recently.

No Cliff, the BAA don't do day tickets these days. The free bits that Neil has mentioned are the only ones i can think of off the top of my head.

Agreed, three blanks is a regular thing for me to be honest. My Lower Severn record is 13, from a few seasons back. Blanks are 'character building' though, apparently.

A total lack of etiquette. I've seen it displayed before on the Lower Severn, anglers chasing a big fish drop in yards below an angler who is already fishing. It's very annoying. I can't say I'm the least bit surprised by this example.

I'd have thought you'd have mentioned the 'Nafford big cat' Neil, or perhaps the Mid-winter himalayan balsam petals. :)

Similarly Graham, Lower Severn with a very high bank/cliff behind me, clay pigeon shoot going on up there, I spent most of the session facing away from the river to dodge falling clays.

It's been an issue for a while it seems. A few years ago, the NT said they lock their car park 'at sunset', which all well and good until it became apparent that the NT decided what time sunset was each day. Lots of campers/lunatics seem to occupy the opposite bank in summertime, so it wouldn't...

It's going to get worse Neil. Thicklizzy will see to that. The last 12 years have been a disaster, and the current lot are to blame. Starmer is Tory-lite, so we are doomed.

I don't think having a higher population is the issue. When the water companies were privatised in the early 90's, a whole swathe of investment was promised, a better infrastructure and all that sort of thing. Predictably, that never happened, and just like everything else, the money was given...

Must admit, I've lost a little of mine, but i fish matches to keep me busy in the summer months. The cost of fuel now is huge negative when decided whether to fish, I prefer short 3/4 hour sessions, which makes it an expensive game now. In winter, I can go 4 or sometimes 5 times in a week...

N-trap soft for me, or the Gardner Ultraskin stuff, both coated.

I use the Pallatrax hooks also, previously in 'The Hook' pattern, and now Gripz, which are barbless, but they seem to hold just fine. I've never seen these Claw hooks as Rich mentions, I'll have to check them out.

If it ain't broke.....

My 8 year old brashers have finally given up, so I'd like another pair that last just as long if i can get some. ANy recommendations for new ones? I prefer a boot in summertime, before switching to Muckboots when the winter mud arrives. John

I was on 5, but dropped to 4 for this season. Going to concentrate on the Upper Trent this summer I think, with a few mid sevs to break up the blanks. Lower Sev will grab my attention in Autumn time, as always.

I know a Barry Fisher that lives in Worcs, as already said, i don't think he's ever made floats. He fishes for eels/pike/perch most of the time.

A middle Severn 13, and a 15 from anywhere, oh how I'd love one of those.
