Being pedantic here. That 'use by date' is surely a 'best before date?' :p

From the Nidd last month, my best river roach of 1lb 7oz (caught on lobworm).

Fair play to you Steve. Catching that many tench in February is quite a feat IMO.

I had my PB grayling just the other week of 1 lb 11 oz from the Nidd. Now chasing an elusive two-pounder!

Steve, I use mine on the Trent. As Ed has said it's a great rod for heavy work but if you haven't had hold of one, I suggest you do. The blank is not the slimmest and this can affect your feelings towards it, if that's what you are used to. I agree again with Ed that it's not your usual...

That was Bob and one of his lesser of his misdemeanors. You need to read up on it.

1.75 Gti....unless you are fishing into snags?

Paul, when did the neglect start? When the companies were privatised by any chance? :rolleyes:

Paul, go to your favourite stretch of 'quiet' river...without your tackle and have a good walk (I spent six hours on mine yesterday). Prior to this I have only fished once since the close...the longest gap in my fishing in the last ten years, so I know exactly where you are coming from. It's...

Cormorant damage?

Well I made a right mess of that!:rolleyes:

River Nidd earlier this week..

Paul has raised an important issue here and we should be working to find a solution. Getting fobbed off by the EA or any other body is usually because the person reporting it has little or no evidence to back up their concerns. I know this isn't relevant to all rivers, but for those that are...

A stunning fish and a photo that does it justice too!

Here's something else to bear in mind when posting photos. What may appear to be a virtually featureless, black background in your night shots....probably isn't. Take for example Paul's 'monster' in this thread: look carefully at the top right of the frame and you can just about make out a...

I wonder if Danny Fairbrass employed a data analyst when Korda become the exclusive distributors of the Deeper Sonar in the UK?':eek:

I've no idea, Stephen, but I remember therer being an associated problem with images being hosted, in this particular case, by Photobucket. If users didn't have their personal settings sorted, it was possible to click on an image and peruse numerous other images! So the location of a posted...

Interesting article on the BBC today reporting on the work done by a Guardian reporter Carole Cadwalladr : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-43458110 This had me thinking about the apps we use to photograph/store our images. Now I'm not in a position to worry (I don't catch record-breaking...

Thanks for the 'likes,' chaps. If we could only get your average angler to do the first 'R' and rest the fish immediately it has been netted, instead of lifting it straight out of the water, I believe it could make a significant difference to survival rates. One day.... perhaps.

This requires the education of the masses. It had me thinking and I've come up with the 4R's for anglers who actually catch barbel: Rest (in the net in the water immediately) Record (by simple estimation, weighing or photographing and if doing the latter two, rest it in-between as well)...
