After we've agreed that Mark's post got it about right I might have to pop down to the Land's End pub to work out how a 20 foot hooklength works. My rod is only 12'

The top item on the BFW classified section should sort you out I reckon and you'll have a bit of change. Cheers Nick https://barbel.co.uk/site/vbulletin/forum/fishing-related-classified/82-fred-crouch-aerial-centrepins-update-march-2014-a.html

The free stretch of the Frome at Wareham goes for over a mile of the south /west bank downstream from the bridge in the town. There's good roach there, but wall to wall boats moored along the bank. Very friendly and helpful tackle shop 40/50 yards from the bridge, the guy there will help with...

...but sold him short with theIntrepid deluxe reel though. Get i'm a proper Pin for Gaw'ds sake if you really care. x (can't find the smiley things otherwise they'd be winking).

Would go for the excellent river environment every time. Always go for what's possible rather than what's probable. 1:2 but a good performance.

I like you Howard can't see that it's a lot of effort to complete and contribute to the survey and I imagine over time better knowledge of habitat is only a good thing as it will enable and justify the preservation and knowing creation of suitable environments for the fish to thrive in the...

Cap it all. Our washing line prop broke earlier so today I volunteered my twist lock landing net handle with the 'v' block on as an alternative, and blow me the lock mechanism's gone again. Better get that fixed pronto. Gaaaah

Not that it's in Howard's league but I thought I might do a bit of fly fishing during the close season - brag it to fish hopefully get on a few streams in Dorset without spending an arm and a leg. So after weeks of browsing I bought a 9' cane 1936 Palakona perfection (£40) and a 7' 3-5 weight...

Keith, we are lost without you. Top post of the thread.

Just to distract the debate a little, have just been reading an old interview with Chris Yates where he mentions the British Record Fish Commitee not accepting his record carp from Redmire, maintaining that the only thing in the lake other than carp was gudgeon...

Interestingly the Borough Marsh Stream a 3/4 mile down also flows out of the Thames and into the Pats.

I remember once reading a newspaper article about (I think) George Best by the great Hugh Macilvaney and he spoke of the excitment of approaching the ground - probably Old Trafford - with a spring in his step, because he knew that in an hour’s time he would be watching Georgie play. It could...

Well exactly Phil. I’m very happy to pay 50p a week and consider it money well spent. I think some people that like to moan, (oh how they moan) are perhaps missing the point and principle. The fact that it might never be checked is irrelevant. Not paying it is like shooting yourself in the...

Couldn't load a picture on Saturday and can't get onto the river reports when logged in this morning Andy.

By complete coincidence, I'm talking as someone who today had an argument with someone at the till in Poundland. Police were called and the arguing continued outside. Lady was taken away by police. See that's the sort of person you're dealing with on this forum.

Howard I hope I bump into you next season on the Kennet. I'll make you a cuppa. Top post & Sanity!

Don't mind loosing to a such a great person.

Sorry I only booked a 5 minute argument, I'm off to look at 'Sold' Kennet perfection rods on ebay.

16Lb Octopus caught outside the Coy Carp Harefield - 50 witnesses all swear.

I would refer any would be top angler compete on the River Pinn for burbot and sea horses and then report back to this thread. I agree with that but, sorry to say, that's a total contradiction to your perpetual stance Nick A.
