    Spam alert!!

    The checkout assistant asked me if it tasted nice, I had to confess I had never eaten it and it was for fishing.

    Few bits

    Hi Robert, I'm interested in the brolly. Can you post and how much will it cost?

    Thats French fishing

    I follow him on Maggotdrowners, as Hugh said an all round angler and interesting to see the approach of an angler from another country.

    Keep a look out for this van

    You can forget getting any sympathy from the RSPCA, a candidate for the CEO job likened farming to the Holocaust and is a vehement animal rights activist, Peta Watson Smith. The whole organisation has been taken over by animal rights activists and I understand that there have even been...

    Keep a look out for this van

    Elisabeth David's book contained plenty of recipes using coarse fish, including tench and bream. Does appear this guy was taking a lend and often they slip into " No speak lingo" mode when it suits. A little education all that is required, how that is administered is open to interpretation ;)

    Giant Hogweed

    There was a post on Facebook regarding an anglers daughter getting the sap on her. Poor girl had horrendous burns on her hands. A real problem and some stretches on the Tees are becoming unfishable. River Tees Trust and local clubs are conducting a spraying program but this is a long term...

    Fluoro/Braid Combi Rigs...

    I tried using a small rig ring but found the braid kept getting cut off by the ring even after trying a few knots. Went back to Gavin's set up and use a little metal putty over the swivel to pin the rig down.

    Free to attend meeting in York

    Sounds like an interesting evening Gavin, a pity I have other arrangements for Wednesday evening.

    Britford Fishery.

    Signed, don't like to see the destruction of greenbelt land and certainly not the loss of such a lovely looking stretch of river.

    crayfish

    Pallatrax used to make Elixir 6 bait which contained crayfish so it must be legal to include in boilie mix.

    Vote Tory?

    John, I have no leaning either way but an honest politician is about as common as a unicorn. We are governed by a class of people detached from the real world who arrogantly believe they know what is best for the rest of us.

    Vote Tory?

    Speaking of which, nice to see the Labour Party rolling out Tony Blair, the face of pure evil. Obviously wanting to lose the election by an even bigger margin. I have no particular affiliation but I do not trust Milliband & Co ,too many left from the previous crowd that got us into the mess...

    crayfish

    Try Morrisons Graham, a couple of pounds for a tub. 80g is the smallest size.

    Re-Stocking our rivers

    You can't blame the RSPB for otters as the bird life has suffered as much as the fish stocks. We can, however, blame them for a refusal to admit they protected the wromg species when they protected the cormorant when they actually meant the lesser shag

    Reserving swims?!

    Sounds like a fair system Iain and I believe Prince Albert AS operate a similar system for new waters and work parties, though obviously none of its members will be able to confirm or deny this :p

    Reserving swims?!

    I remember reading about a situation at Asenby on the Swale a few years ago where an angler turned up at 07:00 as per club rules at his desired swim to find someone's tackle had been placed there the night before and the owner was asleep in his car. The guy in the car was very angry and stated...

    Keith Speer

    My deepest condolences to his family. Like all the others shocked to hear the news and a loss the the fishing world and this forum. I always looked forward to his articles and posts and he will be sadly missed.
