    Collingham official statement

    Never been there, and to be honest, I can't think of a worse place I'd like to fish. Anti-social behaviour on steroids. And probably other drugs.

    Barbel migration

    Our very own Shaun Nurse was one of the individuals that drove this, he's the one in the floppy hat in the pic.

    Hooking Maggots for Barbel

    I've tried threading them onto bait floss and then tying that to a tiny hair rigged ring. Bloody fiddly though, I think the best option is to stick a bunch of them on a size 10. I suppose a grazing barbel isn't going to be too fussed anyway.

    Derby railway angling club

    Wanted to join BMAA last year, but joined Derby. Now the dilemma is do I switch to BMAA for the new season. Decisions, decisions.

    Your first barbel photo

    1983, from Quatford on the middle Severn. It was about 3lb I think, and seemed huge at the time.

    Pair of 4000D’s

    they won't be on here long. I've got the 6000's, and they're the dogs.

    Bait Dropper

    Agreed. I got a spopper last year, very impressed.

    Isotopes

    Greenish white best for me. I'm tarty and have some in my rod handles also, same colour.

    Whats your PB?

    A 14.13 from the Lower Severn, and just like @Neil Smart experience, also attracted unwanted attention from the BAA forum nutcase! As said though, it's horses for courses, on some rivers, doubles are a LOT harder to catch.

    GR60 Line

    It's abrasion resistant for sure, but very springy for me, and liked trying to jump back off the spool when loaded. Back to sensor for me , cheap, cheerful, and it works.

    You Tube

    Agreed.

    Spam

    You need a 2nd mortgage these days to fish that stuff all the time. I remember when it was a quid a tin.

    Club Tickets.

    5 for me. BAA KFAC Derby Railway Lower Sev Club WA syndicate. Might drop the last one though, not been this season, and a different bit of LS has caught my eye.

    What Scales Please?

    Might invest in some of those Rich. My RH9000's are battered, and the body actually split open as the screws or rivets failed. They're currently bodged together with a screw through the top.

    Bird flu in Worcester

    It's a wonder that bloody awful swan woman hasn't been banging her drum again, and blaming anglers.

    Bird flu in Worcester

    I swear I've seen one float past on the Lower these last few days.

    6000D/D-EU

    Chaps - Considering treating myself, already sold on 6000D's, but what's the difference between the D and the DEU? It seems to me the EU version just has a smaller handle.

    Sticky baits ellipse pellets

    I carry some as a change bait. I quite like them actually, glued on the same way as the old originals.
