Dog spike I use, very secure can get at any pet store. Make sure you get a quality rope such as climbing quality.

Ahh yes... I was very much with you on that one ...phew.

That's the problem Barry, he can't see 'em 😀

Tell me about it Barry, what a very very strange place that is....onelastcast.

On the BAA forums this very subject came up this week. A very respected match angler was having problems seeing his waggler far bank. He eventually tried some silver foil from his Kit Kat wrapper, scrunched it up to form multiple mirroring, rolled it and secured a piece to the tip of float with...

We back on to fields, we see Hares very often and would be of a murderous intent if we saw anyone shooting them. We have enough to contend with the reality that 'our' Pheasants are shot for fun, but at least there is a close season. Signed, and thanks for highlighting Tel.😐

the Neil many tears ago I with Mum and Dad used to holiday to Mum's parents who ran pubs in Bangor, I seemed to remember a Kings Head pub and one with the Dee adjacent that I mentioned I 'fished' , perhaps that could be the Royal Oak? But a lovely part of the world, remember stopping off on the...

2012 The summer that never was, the severn was brim full with water and barbel. Opening day the only river that was fishable local was the Arrow, caught a barb first cast, crazy times.

Far from the madding crowd.

Sadly I think you are right. 😢

Great Neil... it could be a long wait happily toast your success if you do manage a Dee Barbel with a bottle of Moet I have set aside for Bristol City's promotion to the Premiership. I wonder what will come first?

Agreed Jim, by nature those types want all the groundwork already done. For me anyway I love that sometimes a Barbel can be caught in the most unlikely of places be it a urban centre or the wilds of West Wales. I was born in Bristol by the Bristol Avon near the center of Bristol, it was then...

I get the fish chasing side if what we do, I am a very average Barbel angler but lucked out on a few fish on a particular stretch and understand how some people enjoy ruining it not only for the angler but for the fish too. I have no time for that personally and seeing a fish I caught...

Oh! come off it Joe there's ways of keeping the location secret whilst celebrating a Dee barbel, however unlikely that maybe.

🙄

Come off it Joe, it would make a great story.

The Dee was my very first river I ever 'fished', I was all of about six and my grandparents were hoteliers and the river ran alongside. The tackle consisted of my seaside crab line and bait I nicked from the cats dinner. I even waded into some likely spots, but alas I never did catch a...

Dance faster

Well it worked...a bit🤔

A few years back I attended a Barbel Society meetings in Tewkesbury my home town. The brilliant Dave Mason was a guest speaker and he advocated to only use rock salt, and or 'cattle lick' salt to boiles as an additive; reason being Barbel especially post spawning crave it. I was intrigued but...
