Stockers looks like a water you could get totally immersed in, the gravel bars look fantastic, I’m very jealous Graham. I’m on the NH waiting list for the river I’m a member of reading, Abingdon, newly verulam because it’s local although I only joined a half season two weeks ago, but I’m...

It’s still fishable but certainly different, the railway viaduct basically arcs across 1/3 of it, it goes straight through Korda lake next door (was BCSG but lost to fishing) and harefield which neighbours savay on the other side, that has been/is being backfilled with the gravel washing. Crying...

I'd pay whatever to join where I really want to go in theory. I've always wanted to fish the RK leisure waters near me, even if just for a year. £2850 for a black card which you need to go for really as otherwise you are limited to certain waters. I'll never be able to afford it in reality, well...

I have the trilogy, great read... wish I had sent a letter about savay back in the day. I only ever fished the little offshoot bay style bit for pike

Fingers crossed mate, I also ordered a Trudex but unfortunately Chris rang me and said that the last few bits he had in stock were faulty so he couldnt fulfil it, on the plus side he offered to swap it for a heritage for the same cost, so I cant complain as I wanted one of those anyway. :) I...

Lovely photo Ian, I do love the river specialist too, best purchase ive made in ages (although im looking forward to my Triton arriving).

I spent 1800 on a pole and my carp rods and reels combined cost about 1300. When I look at some of the reels about now I think I got myself a bargain. Another centrepin, an old classic one, would be the only thing I’d let myself spend big on now, but I guess it’s all kind of relative as I’d also...

it may well have been waving its tail at you on the fishers green stretch and some point daniel. ;) (were on another forum)

I think going by the article its from the members only syndicate stretch, which I assume is downstream of the weir? I think London anglers have the opposite bank or a bit close by? Incredible fish though, congratulations to the captor

Gutted as it’s my local, there’s one other nearby else if I want maggots it’s a 35 mile trip into Milton Keynes and AD

As others have said it looks like a bank stick/hole excavator with an auger point for rock hard ground, with the hole at the top for a T-bar to crank it round and get more force. JAG excavator bank sticks are a similar setup for carp (I have them)

Yep, being relaunched!

Beautiful reel, if I hadn't just paid for a Triton I would have snapped it up.

I started when I was about six years old I think, my dad was a keen angler and took me down to the grand union at tring station for an afternoon as I was being a pain (at least that's what they've told me haha). I caught a perch, a gudgeon and a roach and that was me hooked. I fished with my dad...

Amazing capture, congratulations

I would love to give one of those a go on the Thames at some point :) Wire stemmed bolo floats are always something I’ve struggled to find, I’ve got the DH carbon ones but no alloy.

I have a 15ft acolyte plus which I find a joy to use, not broken a tip on it so far. I also have a cadence cr10 no.3 which is a nice power (ish) float rod and although it’s not as good action wise as the acolyte it feels a bit more powerful to me, no idea if it is in reality, the specs are...

As others have said, you cant stop the trout... if you go in with the mindset that the trout will get there first it changes your perspective. The one trick you can try to maybe reduce the trout though is if they start hitting your rig every trot through then loose feed a little further upstream...

Ha Ha I have NB acid in the shed too, along with a load of old richworth flavours like honey yucatan. I thought I would email John baker this morning about my pellet query and he agreed that what would work would be to mix 10ml of flavour into 250ml of water and spray pellets with it, let them...

Is that the maple cream/caramel type one? I wondered if you could flavour pellets with it, or if it would be too potent.
