What a glorious looking place!

According to 'Jeff' over on the BAA forum, the final episode is at SS on the Lower Severn. I'd have hardly thought that will make fascinating viewing though really.

I spray my barbel reel line Terry, feeder/ledger, just makes things a bit smoother. I use this stuff.... https://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-and-fluids/lubricating-and-penetrating-oil/3-in-one-professional-silicone-spray-lubricant-400ml-776096.html

I use 3 in 1 oil on mine, and that's not very often to be honest. The bail arm roller get sprayed with silicone spray every time I spray my lines. Works for me.

Hope Jeff isn't reading Neil!! ;)

Good old capitalism. Most problems can be sourced back to it.

Managed to get this a few nights ago, very popular Warks Avon venue. The setting sun lit up the far bank gardens briefly after the rain.

The whole BAA administration system is in need of an update I think, night tickets, memberships. The forum also, is home to several trolling lunatics, ask Mr Smart!!! At 40 quid though, any Midland angler would be mad not to have one.

Cracking fish Mick, an 11.8 is a good zander anyway, never mind from a canal. Interestingly, there's a debate/argument currently going on over on the BAA forum, where the forum village idiot is insisting canal zeds should be dispatched. :(

It was dreadful compared to the previous year Andrew!! Me personally, I'd like a 15, from anywhere, but the Lower Severn is the most likely for me - got with 3oz of it last season.

The 90's matchmen used to catch them on stick floats all the time on the WDUAA waters, Oak Meadows/Lathams Farm etc. Might be easier on a shallower (for the Lower) stretch though.

Something we all need to watch/record.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000vk71

I use a galaxy s8 too Ian, in conjunction with a rhino beam and the rhino bank stick adapter. I'm pretty impressed with my results.

Similar stuff for me Richard, albeit a bit smaller, two 14's, three 12's and a few smaller doubles, but I'm 50% on my catches from last season. Joining the 15 club will do me.

I still use my Freespirit 1.75's for an 'in-the-fields' Lower Severn, I'm not really a subscriber of the flood rods thing to be honest. Too much is made of the TC of the rod, when really a proper flood rod should have bigger rings for the crap on the line blocking them. I'd go for 6000oc...

I still have stocks....and you can still get bait online....IF we can fish.

It fished well until the end of the season Joe. This season it's a shadow of what it was last season.

Same for me Steve, last year I had 90 fish on the Lower, this year on about 12 or 13. Bream also absent.

It's made the national news this evening. Disgraceful.

Agreed Ian. I've got X-aeros in 4000 and 6000. I use the 4000 for the tame carp match puddle thing in summer. The same reels certainly wouldn't cope for a raging Lower Sev with 12ft on it. The 6000 far more capable.
