    Patrolling for poachers

    At least it was good to see an article about the issue on BBC morning news, even if it was 7:30 on a Sunday morning.

    Big Boots for Big Boys

    Good point Andy, tried walking in them this morning and I really need to get some new ones as my heels are blistered. Now to try and find a pair at a sensible price.

    Big Boots for Big Boys

    Andy, I have certainly had problems with my Tay's. Erosion of the heel on the inside meaning I have to wear thick socks to stop my heel blistering. The sole coming away from the upper in a few places which I managed to fix with super glue. A split at the join on the calf and just noticed a split...

    weighing fish

    Same as Pete. They are few and far between on the Tees. I didn't bother on the Wye as there was nothing that looked special enough to warrant it.

    first fish of the season

    Cracking way to kick off your season. Hope to get my first tomorrow as the river should be dropping off nicely after the rain this morning, only a light shower forecast for tomorrow.

    Common Courtesy and the half way rule

    I wouldn't dream of fishing opposite someone who was laready there. A few seasons ago I was nicely tucked away in the undergrowth when a fellow angler appeared opposite, it was obvious he hadn't spotted me and so I reeled in and cast out again, near bank for reference, he finally spotted me and...

    A marvellous gesture and shows the true spirit of BFW, much needed after some of the recent unpleasantness.

    Hi all

    Welcome Glynn, you've picked a couple of tough rivers for barbel fishing, the Wear boys have taken a monastic vow of silence so you won't get much off them. There is some good fishing to be had on the Tees but it is a tough nut and the fish are very nomadic. I sent you a PM...

    The answer to all your prayers.

    I wish him the best of luck, who knows if he sells one book he might be able to afford an unhooking mat and a decent size landing net if his picture on the advert is anything to go by. :p:p:p

    Which chair would you choose ?

    I was looking at the new Korum accessory chair the other day and it looks and felt like a decent chair and reasonably light.

    carrying a machete in boot of car

    I suppose it depends on your local river, on mine; the Tees, it is generally a 30m hack just to get down from the bank to the river. I know what some are saying about swims being devestated and have seen it myself. I had to clear out a fave swim on Thursday night but made sure it left plenty of...
