    If you could only use one bait

    Garlic Spam or any garlic meat when my stocks finally run out.

    Is it me? Is it real?

    I had the pleasure of grayling fishing on the Nidd with Chris Lythe a few years ago. One of the members of the club was telling me tales of big cats around the Nidd area and how a pack of hounds from the local hunt refused point blank to enter one particular wood. The case regaled at Asenby was...

    Is it me? Is it real?

    There was supposedly a big cat spotted on the Swale at Asenby. Not sure how accurate the report was as the guy did like to partake herbal remedies.

    Anglers killed while fishing Thames

    Efgeeco bait dropper

    Just picked one of these up at a car boot sale this morning. I can't believe someone is not making them still, looks like a solid and simple design and less likely to jam shut than the Thamesly/Seymo design.

    Peaty Blankers

    I always wondered if it is down to a change in pH as the peat is washed down from the head waters of the Swale, just a theory. The Tees is permanently tea coloured but I suppose it is the norm for the barbel population.

    Stacklands BAA River Wye

    It is important when a club buys fishing rights it also secures legal right of access. There is a stretch on the Swale where the fishing rights were sold but the farmer would not allow access across his land to the neighbouring caravan site that bought the fishing rights. As far as I am aware...

    hooklink material advise

    ESP Strip Teaze coated braid, saves making a combi link by only having to strip back a few inches of coating near the hook.

    Berkley Big Game

    I've used Berkley Big Game for quite a few years now and it has never let me down. As others have stated it is reasonably priced and just make sure you get the US made line.

    Spam spam and more spam

    Some questions about possible closed season fish-finding and feeding

    I think you will find clearing the number of pegs you mentioned will take a lot longer than you may think. Try taking a strimmer with a fixed blade head and obviously leave a little bit of cover at the entrance to keep it less obvious. My club on the Tees has many a spot that hardly sees an...

    Classified thread.

    I've bought a few items through this site and always been smooth and pleasant transactions. I've bought stuff off ebay as well and apart from one reel that the baitrunner was not working on, buyer refunded without issue, all my transactions have gone without a hitch. Guess I must be lucky, apart...

    garlic spam

    The best before date is for human consumption not for fishing use. Should be fine, I hope so as I have about 20 tins.

    Dilley resigns

    I would expect him to lead the efforts to deal with the situation and at least show some empathy with the victims of the floods. It's about perception, remember how much grief Tony Hayward got as BP Chairman when he came back to the UK for a weekend during the US Gulf disaster?

    Dilley resigns

    I feel for the poor chap, after all it is only a part time position and it was rather wet you know. Yes, the flood defence budget had been under funded but for 100k pa he should have at least had the common sense to think "I'm going to look a right tw@t sat in the sun while large areas are sat...

    Fish Kill

    Sounds like a fairly weak excuse. I'm sure an angling club of fish farm would take the fish and sort out the necessary health checks prior to moving. So much for them looking after the wildlife. Also probably a case of anglers being our own worst enemy by leaving tackle for wildlife to get...
