Everitt is a documentary maker working with Netflix etc. You know the ones that do Big Foot, Haunted Houses in Winchcombe, Nessie Hunters, etc...and any 'proof' coming out of Cirencester College should be taken with a pinch of salt, 'young farmers on the piss'. ;) . Anyway I will keep an eye...

I understand mate, just a bit jealous I guess....would snap your rod in half for a chance to fish there, at least you haven't employed the service of a guide. Good luck.

It's fishing not catching...surely isn't it down to the angler on the spot to assess the river.. fishing the crease for example.? Sorry if I am being rude but working it out for yourself is the very crux of river angling, isn't it?

A lot of advice is given to use long hook lengths, 3 to 4 ft being the norm. The reasoning that fish will spook from a lead or feeder, and in that I get it, but for me I prefer to use as little parafanalia on the business end as possible, a simple running rig with a anti tangle sleeve with a...

Admist the carp, bread recipes and bridge diversions, you are probably right.

I know..you should check out my Victoria Sponge 🙂

No don't the chap on Awesome fishing the cack handed one c/w John Wilson Avons and no line on his reels made similar from chicken wire...useless. Get a good knife ☺

Mick's angling adventure clip of him going back up the hill convinced me I would end my days at Trimpley if I was to try.

Paul check out Mick's Angling Adventures YouTube. He gives a very good and exhausting review of Trimpley.

Not sure re Trimpley think there is no parking now. The Northwood stretch I have fished and that's easy, park inside gate and a short walk to the river.

Thanks Tim for a very detailed and eye opening response.

Well I could introduce stillwater Barbel into the discussion if that helps you.

Why do that Vince? Unless it makes uncomfortable reading ...other species doesn't get so many views why would I want that🙄

There are regulations regarding these fisheries and the important factor regarding such places is if they are connected to moving water ie streams or rivers, if they are it seems the EA are pretty hot on what fish can be introduced and other factors, if not it seems regulations are relaxed. Is...

Yes I did reflect on that.
