I took this series of shots a few weeks back. They were taken on my phone so they don't show the exact same view. The times of the shots is shown at the bottom of each image - Sunset

I agree about 90%. Their service is very good but a couple of years ago I sent off a pair of old baitrunners but when they were returned they hadn't been fully restored as they no longer had the parts required. So I would say that if you are sending old reels it might be worth phoning first to...

A mate of mine recommended using PTFE but he emailed me last week to say he reckoned that the line slapping against the tape was causing the tape to fray and that in turn was fraying the line and as a result he had taken it off. Have you noticed any problems?

Whilst fishing on the Kennet yesterday evening the local crayfish trapper came along and I watched him remove a few of his traps. In one, there must have been over 30 crays in it. He reckoned that with the moon in its current phase he would need to check his traps daily whilst at other times of...

Surely the best option is a single license that can have between 1 and 3 or 4 rods on it. Why should the match angler pay for 2 rods when he (or she) can only ever use one in a competition? Many river anglers will happily use 2 whilst carpers and pikers are regularly seen with 3 rods out. As...

Sadly, it seems to have been discontinued. I've been trying, without success, to find some.

I couldn't manage a radio but yesterday I managed to cast out a feeder rod:( I had taken the reel off the feeder rod and propped it up against a fence whilst I cast out my barbel rod. About an hour later I went to re-cast and the feeder rod flew over my head and into the river. Thankfully the...

Or just glue them end to end. Does anyone really think it would make any difference?

A list of RDAA day tickets can be found here - Reading and District Angling Association My understanding is that a day ticket is open to anyone, whereas a guest ticket is what you get when accompanying a member.

In that case its the same at Fiskerton. The day ticket is exactly that.

What about Fiskerton/Bleasby? Its a Barnsley stretch but day tickets are available from the Fiskerton post office.

Excellent. Its not exactly like my old one but I've just ordered this one - RAACO A9 Assorter Tray Box 127844 Perfect as my small float tackle box. Unfortunately after completing my order I went to their homepage and discovered that as of yesterday they are closed for a 2 week holiday so it...

My RAACO box has been locked by an elastic band for the last 5 years. If only you could still get them in the smaller sizes :(

Its remarkable how varied peoples experiences are with these scales. I've had a set for a couple of years now and not had a moment's trouble and I'm still on the original batteries. Last week I left them in the landing net when returning a barbel and they still worked for the rest of that...

I've not seen the one you mention but I've used the old style quick release for years with no problems -

What about a bait dropper to feed the hemp?

The meaty marine was a superb stick mix for tench, I never got round to trying it for barbel.

There's a review in last week's AT. As with nearly all reviews in the paper its very positive. The rod retails at £199, not sure if better deals are available.
