    canoes on the wye

    I quite enjoy the canoes on the Wye. Both the barbel and myself are well used to them now. I usually fish 100 - 500 yards upstream of my mate and get them to carry all sorts of messages such as: Tell the old bloke downstream that his mate has caught 6 ten pound barbel Tell the the old...

    new brolly

    I have several brollies. In the summer when there is not too much rain (!!!!) I use a very cheap 45" but for overnighters and bad winter conditions I might change to a 50" Korum stormshield with wings. This can be heavy so I also have a light nylon Leeda 50" for longer walks / days bad...

    Mounting a camera on a bank stick?

    I have used one for years and have some good photos but the first few photos were not too good (too far away) so once you get the screw fitting have a practice.

    Crucian baits.

    You have't mentioned pellets which can be small fish proof but have caught me a lot of crucians. You could use a minimal baiting of 4 - 6mm pellets (put too many in and the king carp arrive!) and fish 6mm hard, soft or expander pellets or mini boilees - or up the sizes if small fish are still a...
