    Silt

    I think they will feed wherever they can find food and siltbeds are often full of invertebrates do why wouldn’t they There was an underwater video filmed some yrs ago on either the Ouse or W.Avon (think it was a Clean River production… Guy Rob??) of barbel feeding in silt… really troughing...

    Trotting rod

    The 17ft accy is a very capable rod for big fish and still fun with silvers…I agree it might not suit all situations and can be limiting in tight swims. Maybe if you got a 13/14ft accy specimen it would cover you for all situations in running and still water?

    Who made this blank?

    I had Kevlar Avon rod many yrs ago made by North western rods….lettering looks the same from memory and also the weave, but their blanks also had the NW rods logo/words so can’t be sure!? It was a lovely through action rod I used for tenching

    Warm fishing jackets & trousers

    Snugpak sj9 are excellent ….but also these are worth every penny in keeping your lower back area warm - same as the snugpak they have the longer back. A real winner imo https://www.militarykit.com/products/british-army-pcs-thermal-undershirt-light-olive-used

    Adam's Mill, bankside clearance

    Again no housing for a good 3.5 miles until you get to Haversham weir

    Adam's Mill, bankside clearance

    That doesn’t make sense to me….Adams is on a large flood plain with no housing nearby …if anything this would increase water flow into Newport pagnell at an even faster rate rather than facing the trees help restrict flow 🤷‍♂️

    Your angling journey.

    Haha…I doubt it but thanks! I always laugh thinking about how my dad became a fishing legend amongst myself and friends without ever picking up a rod
