Stephen true but within an EU framework which will not exist; unfortunately i have less faith than you re the public and their green credentials given the general economic state we are in.

Joe it is called free market and the limits on former civil servants are, in my view wrongly, far less restrictive than they used to be... Whatever we feel about the EU at least they have got some aspects of environmental protection right; post Brexit heaven help us as we are going to need a...

Looking at the river records on here - only 6 rivers have produced fish over 19lbs (most are smallish rivers) and none recently. There may have been others that folk are keeping quiet, I am not in the know about these, so you can only go on the available data. So, never say never but i think we...

Back to adjusting to the retirement thingy...i have just been to the cinema tonight - Monday - it feels some what strange if not very odd, even a slight guilt, as this is or should i say was a working week night and one does not do such stuff...weird!!

I cycled a long stretch of the Wye yesterday - canoeists/dog walkers and twitchers but not an angler in sight - seems we all may have a lost a little mojo at present.

Very interesting...I do not think the purpose we have/had at work can be substituted. Work is/was anything from 40-80+ hours a week, for 48 weeks a year, for 35-45 years for most of us. How can this be replaced? In my view nothing I have ever done or can do will ever be as all consuming as my 18...

Guys, as I expected some very wise advice through a great number of thoughtful responses, which are much appreciated. My 'issue' of course is trivial in the great scheme of things, including a recent post on here, but it still has been very helpful to read the comments. I also know how lucky I...

And Worcester tickets are now £10....

Dave x2 puts the new thread i have just posted into perspective...

Fifteen months ago I was very fortunate to move to the Wye Valley knowing that in March 2016 I was to be made redundant from the Civil Service and would retire early compared to most. What more could one ask for; only minutes away from the River Wye and all the time to fish. And fish I did for...

So what make actually is the head torch :D

Carl I have been suffering with neuropathy in my feet for 3 years, so cannot let them get cold or the pain is excruciating...so i have been looking for socks that work for fishing for ages - bad news is i have not found anything that keeps your feet warm when sat still for hours on end even...

Pike or carp :D?

Still not convinced - where is the follow up news, surely police etc will have been out to find this cat as if it is a 'big cat' it will be deemed as dangerous. There is a new breed of large domestic cat with interesting markings that is now the largest...

Have a look at this picture for a domestic cat... https://www.google.com/search?q=maine+coon&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi23cDI6Z7QAhUlDcAKHRUuA38Q_AUICCgB&biw=1920&bih=902#imgrc=CBlTEcvGr0k-hM%3A

Dachstein mits are the warmest on the planet and can easily be pulled off...problem is then your hands freeze while playing the fish...oh wait i forgot its winter and i don't catch anything...

Neil if this is true how come the EA are not onto them?

Not sure if Roger at Peregrine rods can help?

On researching, the author of the piece, in my view, is sympathetic to the idea and perhaps over-relies on Rick Minter who is a believer so presents the piece in a certain light, which of course is his right...but has no real evidence other than the eyewitnesses, which brings us back to the nub...
