Is that after you have changed the statutory closed season on rivers? After spending this winter too busy to get much fishing done apart from a couple of trips targeting Yorkshire grayling and one day out after pike, I finally managed to get three shortish days out on the Wensum after chub...

I can't offer any advice about lure fishing but one tip I can suggest is this. On the highest tides, if the mackerel are in, freeline a fresh mackerel head with the guts hanging out. This isn't a manic fishing method but it does sort out some whoppers! Treat it like pike fishing with an open...

Cambell's Lake in Tilgate, eh?... I had my first 4lb tench from there - in 1965, I think! There were no tench or bream in there at the time, just roach, rudd, tench, perch and pike. I was 15 years old and had a 1.15 roach on the same night.

Some waters seem to produce big fish of a given species year after year. The tench in Johnson's Lakes in Kent, are a good example that fits this description. For various reasons these lakes are hostile environments that constantly limit fry recruitment, allowing only low numbers of fry to...

I've signed the pike one, which is rubbish fishery management born out of blinkered ignorance. However, popular as they may be, I don't hold with the proliferation of carp throughout our rivers and canals and would happily see the end of them. As global warming continues, leading to warmer...

The trouble with being lucky is that you can't be lucky all the time. Re, tench and 'Long Point Hooks' I can't speak for the larger sizes as I've not used them. I did use the 14s and 12's for maggot feeder fishing though, and had no end of trouble with them falling out. Mind you my recent...

Nice account of a nice day's fishing.

Tis a stonker for sure.

Probably okay for barbel but those long points are rubbish for tench as they keep falling out. Those barbed Kamasan animal hooks are a very good for staying in grayling, they're the best grayling hook I've found so far anyway. Lets face it hook and hold barbel fishing with anything smaller than...

Ooops and now I've just seen Richards post. Yes Jon. In the eyes of the law catching fish equals taking fish.

I'm not altogether sure about this?.... but where there is no navigation right there is no right to put a boat on the water without the riparian owners consent, therefore taking (catching) fish would technically be theft. Following on from this I suspect that it would probably still count as...

Boat fishing non-tidal weir-pools would generally require putting an anchor down on the river bed, thus technically this would be trespassing. As for bank fishing tidal waters, where there is a right of access to the banks there is generally also a right to fish. Boat fishing navigable tidal...
