Cheers for the info. Think I’ll give the place a miss

Can you nightfish this stretch? Sure I read somewhere that the house owner doesn’t allow it but I might be wrong

Yeah I never bothered sending them off in the end was cheaper to just buy some avons

I use the same line as my main line for hooklinks. After filling my reels the rest of the spool goes in my bag to make hooklinks. Iv used a few different lines over time and you’d be surprised at the different thicknesses throughout a spool that the line changes. You can noticeably see that some...

Used to love the sufix floating line back in the day that got discontinued. Used the 8lb for floater fishing for carp and was the nuts

Iv got some old flyweights that weigh pretty much the same as my avons give or take a lb or so. So either they are both ok or they are both way off. My main beef with digitals is that the first set I got were erratic straight from the off so returned them and paid the extra for some fox digies...

Did they come past at the same time or throughout the day? I was at ladyham I think it was last year and 3 floated past within about a minute. I can understand them getting bird flu and dying but thought it a bit strange that they’d pretty much die at the same time as each other. I must say...

Wasn’t it last year or the year before loads of swans died of it. Can remember seeing a few float past

Definitely the kingfisher. I had to wait til 10 mins before I packed up to catch one

Never get chance to photograph them when they land on my rod but luckily had my phone in my hand. Shame the tip of my boot is the frame but I didn’t want to scare it off by moving

I brought the jag kit recently. Only use the black file though so in hindsight I should of just brought that. One of the smaller files was actually snapped down to about an inch and the broken off bit wasn’t even in there but couldn’t be bothered taking it back

Dead calm river Severn at the minute. The fishing is pretty dead as well unfortunately

I was using one up until this season when I went down Severn Stoke when the river was low and it would just about of reached the water if I’d of needed it (blanked so didn’t matter). I went out and brought the 1.6m one and have just used that since. I think if you’ve got the big one then no need...

I remember the first fish I had on my first home made boillies. I was doing some stalking for carp and had lowered a 5 boilie stringer into the margins and lay my rod in the floor. After a few mins I saw a few fish moving in and couldn’t remember if I’d put the bait runner on or not as I wasn’t...

They’re the most annoying bites. Iv hooked fish hitting them and also missed while simultaneously spooking my swim. There’s a fine line between striking too early and leaving it too late and having your bait nicked

My main gripe with cradles is its a ball ache if you got to lift the fish up to get the net out the way

I’m similar mate. Was gonna go this evening but decided I needed a nap instead. Only just woke up and feel worse than I did before. I think you’ve just got to get up and go as once you arrive at the river you normally forget how tired you were. It can be hard to get the motivation though at...

I use whatever my mainline is normally. Never felt the need to use a lighter line as whenever I get snapped off it’s always the hook anyway unless the line has been scratched up or the lead run ring is completely snagged then it will snap at the swivel knot above the hooklink. Once iv spooled up...

Yeah I wouldn’t say I dislike it but it’s far from a fishing program. It’s a lot better than half the rubbish that’s on tv these days
