    Big game/ Big Game Trilene?

    If any of the local stores stocked it I would but they don't. I'm all for supporting my local shops and tend to use them as much as possible.

    Spawning - Happening in your area now?

    Just a thought but if they are spawning should we be fishing for them and potentially stressing them?

    Spawning - Happening in your area now?

    I have heard first hand reports from a couple of friends of spawning activity on the Tees and the Swale though not been out for a walk myself. Great photo's btw Russell.

    Big game/ Big Game Trilene?

    Just to confirm, all the details look the same as my old spool, dia, Made in USA, just the addition of Trilene on the front of the label, I've sent Berkley an email and hopefully they can clear up my confusion.

    Big game/ Big Game Trilene?

    I ordered some Berkeley Big Game Clear off Ebay and Big Game Clear Trilene arrived, is there any difference or just a name change? The product code on the front looks the same and the label is the same as my old spool of Big Game apart from Trilene has been added.

    Knots

    Knotless for hair rigs, Palomar if the hook eye is big enough as I feel it creates less tension on the line than a grinner plus it is very easy to tie even when night fishing.

    Good barbel rivers in Yorkshire

    I know he gets a lot of stick from some people but his guide on how to find some of the stretches are worth their weight in gold. Can't criticise his dedication and he puts a lot of time in on the bank.

    Pollution of The Thames

    Ian, it is probably more with an utter sense of defeat. I believe Thames Water is now owned by a Chinese company along with most of the water companies in the UK being under foreign ownership. Profits are put well ahead of enviromental considerations or customer satisfaction. As has been stated...

    New groundbait additive?

    I'd recommend chocolate flavoured baits if this method is considered :p;)

    The danger of krill additive.

    I decided to flush some old maggots/casters down the loo and clean the box out in my downstairs loo next to the garage. They smelt a bit as I'd generously coated them in krill powder. The wife came home from work went in the loo and went off it:D:D:D:D >>>>> Doghouse for me. She came back 5...

    Organised coach/minibus trip

    I suppose it is just a cyclic return to how fishing clubs were formed and ran many decades ago. However, in those days we had a effective rail system ( know I'm not old enough to remember). As you say Dave makes sense with the current cost of motoring.

    Exclusive Wye Syndicate

    Guess it is just market forces Mark. Don't know the numbers in GAC but my local club put up subs by £3 for a new stretch which members were more than happy to pay. I'm actually dropping out of a syndicate this year as the distance and time just not worth the cost.

    Licence issues

    EA sent me an email with a link. Takes you through to the Post Office website and renewed mine and my sons without any hassle. Both arrived Saturday, back of the net.

    Exclusive Wye Syndicate

    Seen similar prices for syndicates of a quarter of the water on offer. Best of luck with it Adam.
