    Arpino Rods, anybody!

    He last worked in a unit at the garden centre in Stanwell Moor. Unfortunately I believe he developed some sort of lung condition brought on by the dust created when rubbing down the blanks and had to retire. I have a number of rods either built or renovated by him and they are excellent.

    Massive carp

    Its the current trend in European mags and websites where the photographer uses an extra wide angle lens to give this effect. Hopefully it won't transfer over here, there's enough doubt on fish size caused by people holding fish at arms length.

    hookable pellets

    I recently bought some Sonubaits Krill 8mm pellets which seem to have a skin on them. They are very oily and stay on the hook even with strong casting. I've found the Yorkshire Bait Co sift hookers stay on reasonably well when casting, thicker wire hooks that we would use for barbel.

    loading line to centre pin

    I push the line behind one of the bars and then tie the knot to the next bar. This means that the knot sits 'inside' the reel and doesn't interfere with the line as you wind it on.

    you never really know what your going to hook

    A tremendous effort but in the AT he's quoted as saying " I had to jump into the lake ..... At one point I was neck deep in th elake and hardly able to touch the bottom..... If true, that's just plain bloody stupid. No fish is worth your life.

    Terrible First Day

    I know the feeling. Did you not have any cutters with you? Its much easier to cut the hook below the barb rather than squash the barb and pull back?

    petzl head torches??

    I've got the LEDlenser H7 which I've had for 2 or 3 years now. Its by far the best head torch I've ever owned, the variable focus and brightness mean I can have it on low level for fishing but nice and bright when walking back to the car down some very dark pathways.

    canoes on the wye

    I think that might be an overwhelming YES. I've certainly never experienced so many on any other river. Others may know different.

    Licence issues

    Got to agree 100%. We are all life long fishermen on here so unless you are financially insecure then this is the only way forward. Sign up and forget about it.

    Fish Retention

    You don't need to leave your peg at all. What you need is a camera screwed onto a bankstick and some form of remote release for the camera. I've been using a 2nd hand Canon G5, which comes with an infra-red remote, for several years now and never had a problem. That way the fish only needs to be...

    Great Ebay/Internet deals deals.....

    Hi Ian, I bought the Spey boots in the end and so far I'm very pleased with them. Curiously I think they are a little small a swell and could probably do with a half size larger. That said they are comfortable to walk in and warm.

    Shimano Reel service

    Or, why waste your time when its already typed? :) If I hadn't been so lazy I would have read it when I first looked at their site.

    Shimano Reel service

    Do you just send reels off to Felindre with their service form or do you contact them first?

    Korum 2013 chairs

    Thanks for the replies. I've got a horrible feeling I might end up buying 2. The Korum ultra light for roving and short sessions and something a bit higher in the back for longer sessions.
