There are also two stretches at Fiskerton on the Trent, tickets can be bought at the village post office.

No problem Stephen. They’re just sitting here 😁 should they be of any use to anyone else.

I have a number of old chair legs lying around. The mice got at a pair of chairs and the legs were all that were salvageable. They are all 3/4” or 18mm dia. If they’re of any use you can have a set for the price of postage.

On licences, I renewed mine yesterday and received an email with the numbers on within minutes of paying.

I’ve had the Korum one for over 2 years now and never had a problem with it. The plastic locking mechanisms are quite robust.

What’s wrong with sticking the bank stick in at an angle?

Sorry, but from where are you hearing about a total lead?

Down a bit more? We’ve just had nearly 24 hours of continuous rain :( It’s only going in one direction over the weekend.

David, I use an iPad and am browsing advert free using Safari and Ad Blocker Pro.

Barely 2% of license holders got off their lazy arse and bothered to vote. So yes, technically, that is democracy in action.

I’ve had mine for over a year now and it’s still super springy. It’s really useful on the sloping banks of the Trent but could probably benefit from a couple of pegging loops as it will slide downhill with a lively fish in it. That said you can put a peg through the spring loops.

Have a look on the Bob Roberts Trent guide.

Look on eBay for an old Canon G5. IR remote and flippable screen. It’s not the latest technology but it’s a great old workhorse of a camera.

Remember that downstream of Staines there are no club waters and it’s all free fishing, as long as you can legally get to the waters edge. I was a member of Twyford but their stretch of the Thames is not renowned for barbel but it does have some lovely but challenging bits of the Loddon and St...
