Have to respond to your posts Bill.Again really enjoyed reading them during the close season,they were interesting and informative and even encouraged me to dust off my stillwater gear.My results were nowhere near yours,number of tench 0.However have a new PB carp of 28lbs caught unintentionaly...

Hi all.My targets for the season are to hopefully catch a few more barbel than I've managed over the last couple of years !(have been following the thread,large versus small baits with interest).Also I have always taken a empty bag with me to pick up any rubbish around where I fish,may enlarge...

Hi all.Treated myself to a days tench fishing yesterday to a club water in north yorks which is at least an hours drive away. A gravel pit which is local to me is now a predominantly big carp water and to even find a swim sometimes is a challenge and the tench,although becoming larger are mainly...

Have just read a really depressing book."Elegy for a river" by Tom Moorhouse.He is a scientist/ecologist and has written about the challenges of trying to study and reintroduce water voles to stretches of rivers,marshlands,etc.He also covers his work with our native white clawed crayfish and the...

Was desperate to fish yesterday to escape my wifes xmas planning.Couldnt face the drive to north yorks only to blank again so decided to fish a small local pond with floatfished maggot solely to get bites.Started catching small roach and perch from the off then small chub up to a pound and a...

If i`m still able to fish hopefully i`ll cope.Good on you Mike.

Been there,done that.A 2ml walk from your chosen swim back to the car before being able to hair rig a pellet is not a great way to start your day.Note to self,get glasses from glovebox.Things like this seem to happen more frequently since I turned 60.Does having senior moments make me a senior...

Im sorry.I thought this was a faceweb site to discuss fishing,not for philosophy,This is the only online contact that I use and realise that im not the best on it with my one finger typing but enjoy reading other anglers posts and techniques.Dont need hassle.Stay safe and be kind.

As I have mentioned in previous posts the majority of my fishing is done up in yorkshire but try to get down to your neck of the woods at least once a year on holiday.There I fish mainly Throop but treat myself to at least one day on the Royalty. About 5 yrs ago I changed my method of fishing...

Wow.Where do you start with this topic.I agree to nearly all of the above posts,but as with any fishing however nothing can ever be set in stone.In my opinion watercraft and getting to know your river length or lengths well by fishing regularly in differing weather/water conditions is as good a...

I usually use pellets nowadays but if I've had a run of blanks which has happened a lot recently I have a day on the maggot feeder occasionaly just to get some bites.I always slide a plastic caster onto the hookshank as well as a single or bunch of maggots dependent on hooksize on the bend.I've...
