    How do you cast in the dark?

    Use the tried and tested technique of marking your mainline at the right distance (during the day) and being absolutely certain of the casting position and target.

    Is it too warm to fish for barbel

    I have decided to leave them as on my local river (with some flow even at low summer levels) the fish fighting to exhaustion (late in the evienng, into night) and requiring long resting times - personal call and that is all I can still go after crucians, tench or a big 30lb+ carp which tolerant...

    Terrible First Day

    I rarely post fishing reports on here but seeing as KP had a poor start, here is my little escapade (you can snigger in the back row!) Suffice to say the wettest start to a season as I dived into the Middle Trent after my Trakker Pioneer at 8:30pm on Saturday night as the wind took it. Cows...

    This evening cleaned and bagged the FS 1.75's, Okuma 40's cleaned and will be serviced in May. The FS 2.25's will be used for small pond carp fishing, until my syndicate fishing kicks in later. Hexagraphs rerigged for Carp, I have wiped the memory of a bitter winter - only brightened by the...

    Hydropower application for the Swale at Topcliffe.

    I dont fish that particular stretch and will not go on it as not a LDSAA member but if there is any evidence of an Otter holt around there, I could use it as further evidence when I lodge my objection via PSC-WaterResources@environment-agency.gov.uk (20th March is cutoff if anyone else has the...

    Leadcore: And its use of...

    I have used Kryston Score (the very heavy one) for trundling with no swivel or other weight. Quite effective as a length between mainline and short hook length. Tangle free and snag resistant.

    Hydropower application for the Swale at Topcliffe.

    Two points to make. The Hydro scheme on my local Derwent has led to the bank opposite the outlet collapsing as the water is directed across there, particularly at high flow periods. Dont get me started on LDSAA, I quit them two seasons ago as they considered keeping their club HQ which looses...
