    Anglers killed while fishing Thames

    Trouble is it don't matter how hard you are, if your sitting on your box, a simple push and your in the drink, and who's to know these circumstances, maybe a friendly chap coming behind you to ask how the fishing's going and whack with a hammer.

    Rod reccomendation

    Gents, can anyone recommend a 12ft 2 piece quiver rod (not push in tips), with a soft enough action for the Warks Avon or slower parts of the Severn, not too worried about seeing the 3ft twitches, but the barbel rods I have between 1.5 and 1.75 test are not sensitive enough really for the fish...

    Another one bites the dust

    Otter Ive seen a few in my time on the Severn and Teme, but never ever one as big as I saw two weeks ago on the Warks Avon, it was truly massive and a very light brown colour with the sun on it.

    Boilie making

    Gents another thought has passed through my head like tumbleweed. If I want to freeze my boilies, am I better to freeze as soon as they have cooled or let them dry out overnight before freezing?

    Boilie making

    A question to all who have tried or know how to make boilies, I am about to have a go at some simple boilies using a base of Soya flour and Semolina, I intend to add a powdered flavouring, and fancy the crunch factor as well. Question is what percentage of flavouring lets say fishmeal to the...
