I think it got fairly hammered last year, Bill, what with furloughed folk etc. Seemed to be a lot more spots opened up, not all of them requiring a death defying descent!

Regarding Bishopswood, that's correct, day ticket below canoe launch, still about a mile of river to go at.

There were a lot more swims at Bishopswood last year than I've seen before, plenty that were easy to get at and comfortable.

You're going at a good time and plenty of water available in that area. Newport Angling Association control the fishing through Symonds Yat itself, on both banks so plenrty to go at there. Tickets from the Campsite or Saracens head, possibly other places as well. £10. Worcester Angling...

Pretty similar to last winter here, lots of rain and rivers too high. I'm going to get out to my only local spot and have a go for Chub tomorrow, whatever the conditions!

Most beats and all WUF day only, which isn't a problem on the Wye as you can catch plenty of fish in the day.

Or just weigh spool of new braid, remove braid, weigh again, then you know the weight of the braid and can keep weighing as you fill you reel .

I couldn't agree more, I'm going to start by cutting out middle men like the water companies, and have a dump in the river everytime I go fishing...😁

Can't beat The Eye for sniffing things out. Surprised it hasn't surfaced sooner......then again...

Not exactly, several EU countries are also to be granted "emergency use" despite the so called ban.

Nice to see a united front backing the good work the Angling Trust have done for us.

Wish we had more choice, tackle wise....

As above, I also really like reflo power line on my pins. I always use a hooklink, I'm tight and hate losing a float and shot as well as a hook !

Interesting you say that, as I've had to do the same with mine after very little use.

Yeah, rivers in the west have been less affected because they were sh*te anyway....😁

If its anything like the 3m Gardener one I've got, it'll weigh a ton.

If you could stretch to 11 ft, you would have the choice of the Acolyte Carp Waggler, which despite it's name, would be a very nice float rod for the work you describe. Just seen they do an 11ft Ultra as well.

I have an old greys barbel rod that I use for sea float fishing, I hammer out a slider that takes an ounce and have never had any problem with the guides and stopknot, and the intermediates are only cheap single legs.

I fish a river occasionally that has plenty, and most times I'll see some. I really like them, very chilled out creatures!

Job to beat the Wye, you could do a couple of days, maybe lower and middle. Plenty of ticket options for both.
