Para Para Pragraphs . I literally fainted 😵‍💫

Just ordered Atlantic Heat, noticed their new unit is just behind where we lived in South Cerney. Do you ever have that thought "Why did I move"? Some fantastic Tench fishing; although not quite the same now is it Tim? Bradleys before the Watermark thing was all mine back then 😉

Which is why the old hospital matrons insisted the patients well intentioned flowers were removed at night.😕 In fact plants at night emit Carbon Dioxide.

Love Blackcaps, If you desire a more accurate deposit on the river bed, just tape up the body, and leave the ends free.

Hi Phil👍 good to hear from you again, maybe wrong but I thought you gave up fishing? Hopefully if that was so you have seen sense 🙂

8mm.

Thing is there are not enough Barbel at the moment to shoal and be a feeding frenzie on the feed, also by introducing large amounts we are bringing in unwanted attention from Bream😮 The Wye and middle upper severn are more aligned to carpet bombing I would think. I too use pve bags which gives...

All of th All main diet for most species so yes of course, that's why bait companies replicate such attraction in their baits. It's just not very convenient having to forage for bait. My local river have a huge amount of mussel below a weir, and Chub and Barbel feast on them at night, in the...

Ahh beat me to it 😁

Not really natural but was thinking of trying cooked mussels, just recently some clips on youtube as to their effectiveness with carp.

Yes agreed those reel fittings were very 60's kit builds.

With you on that Jon, just to think many civvies would give their right arm just to glimpse an Otter in the wild. But they are incredible and for me although can ruin a session they are now embedded into our rivers and we can hope there is now a sustainable balance. It's not what you can see...

Great thread, and if I may, there seems to be more emphasis on tackle as opposed to just going fishing with a rod and a few bits of tackle and doing the simple things well, like river craft and second guessing where that Barbel or Chub will be intercepting you bait. I see so much emphasis on...

If you have to go down the custom route fair enough, but flinging out feeders or leads on such rivers don't call for expensive gear. Korum 1.75 or 2.0 t.c 12 ft rods 4000/5000 reels all in about £400. The barbel are not fussy.

Thanks for the info Paul....Al Capone eh? I knew it lol. Darn mices, they had my holdall last season and countless nets. Good luck.

Hi Paul, Just noticed your surname of Bromilow, that was my mothers maiden name, her Dad was I believe originally from Lancashire and was a well known publican in North Wales. Anyway good luck with your renewed passion, I hope you get one soon.

The Severn despite some extra water looked a bit off Barry, not surprised you struggled. A couple of lads told me they gave up on Bridgenorth and re routed to Warks Avon. The Wye also looked the same
