thanks gents, plus keep the suggestions coming and I'll look in to those mentioned so far !

Hi gents, my wife and I are planning a visit to the North Yorkshire Moors in late September. Any suggestions on a good central place to stay, nice small town with a few good pubs etc, and hopefully within striking distance of a couple of the rivers with a chance of a barbel. Any info...

lots of roach in the Severn, every time Ive switched to 6mm pellet this season I've caught roach, some well over the pound, nice to see.

What better place to blank than the Teme ! 😭

will do

yes that's fine, can you let me know her name and what car she'll be in or some way to recognise her ? received the payment thanks

yes, send me all the details, my PayPal account is cliffturn@btinternet.com

Alec, Im in Ludlow now until tomorrow morning, can collect it today and bring it back for you ? As Richard says the rod bags are black nylon and they have the model info on the top flap.

Im pretty sure the only float rod is the15', I also have the 11' 1.2lb that Alec mentions, there was also definitely a 1.75 12' barbel rod, beyond that I don't know. the 11' is a super slim blank but its undergunned for barbel even though Ive had quite a few on it, not really sure what its best...

I haven't tried wafters but in all honesty Id be very surprised if they outfished a boilie, pellet or other static bottom bait. Has anyone fished a boilie and then switched to a same flavoured wafter and started catching straight away ?

Mark, I think you are overthinking it, as long as you are using a good quality bait you will catch, if you are not catching then Id say the fish aren't there. Because a water has a low fish density doesn't mean your rigs have to be different imo.

10lb fluro for me on the lead, 18" to 48" depending on conditions.

id def go up to 12lb for when the river is up

ok Neil, now try 6mm ?

top dangling young Richard !!

great fishing Graham

the only other option is to park at Arley and walk along the river but its abt 20-25 mins to get to the res. Flat walking though.

such a shame Terry, every time I visit it you just sit there and remember the good times ! I did catch 4 last season in 6 or 7 trips but 0 for 1 so far this season.

I have one and been using for about 5 years, works fine. Spare blades readily available too.
