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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Does anyone know anywhere that has the Tay Sports in size 9? A couple of hours on Google produced 1 hit and they were pre-ordering for the new style due in NEXT JUNE!!
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.
