    Thames head dries

    Not disagreeing but I would take that with a pinch of salt from the daily mail mate. Any other sources?

    It is related to the spool, but apparently it is reference to the spool design. SS = Skirted Spool. GS = Original Gold Spool DS = Deep Spool This is all my research has found so far lol

    Number of rods and reels

    Getting so envious reading this thread some lovely rods and reels! I am super modest on that front, but then it's only now that I've been able to afford some decent gear after I started again from a 20 year hiatus. 1 Daiwa black widow 1.75 12" 1 Torrix 1.75 11" by Mark Tunley 1 Guru n-gauge...

    Prolonged heat

    IMHO do we really need science to determine that it is too hot to fish? I don't think so, with that in mind; 100% air saturation is the equilibrium point for gases in water. This is because gas molecules diffuse between the atmosphere and the water’s surface. According to Henry’s Law, the...
