In May hahaha! ...or readers of 'The Guardian'!!! ;)

Greg, I wonder where they got that photo from? That's 'fishing from hell' in my book!!!

True, Dave. let's just build nuclear power stations everywhere, then we can desalinate the North sea, the English Channel, the Irish Sea......etc.etc.;) Only joking of course!

I thought the costs are prohibitive i.e. energy consuming?

Joined-up thinking is required and huge investment....which appears to rule out any party who wishes to get in/remain in government. I suggested a few years ago that a huge water main could be constructed under the HS2 routes to carry water to the Greater London area. Obviously there would need...

Sadly, I doubt that they'll be doing a commemorative programme to celebrate that fact. :rolleyes:

"There have been no reintroductions of otters by conservation groups since the late 1990s and the bulk of the recovery of the otter has been through natural re-colonisation." Perhaps they were released by the SDS from the Met! they have previous....it turns out...

Guy, do a quick search 'Shimano 5010' on this site and you'll get an idea. Alternatively, contact Clive Shipman who's the nation's biggest Shimano seller! :)

If we believe the figure that ther are over 2 million coarse anglers in England and Wales, the fact that it has taken this long to muster a mere 10,000 signatories speaks volumes, particularly to the non-angling fraternity.

I'm quite happy with the Nash Spaceshuttle 5 that's kept me going for the last seven years. The brand-new spare is yet to see daylight.

He who hesutates.... All gone!

Ditto Virginmedia. They blocked all our accounts because they were being used to spam everyone! No fishing pun intended and it may be a coincidence, but it's never happened before.

Joe, you don't want 'Fancy Bears' hacking into your fishing log and telling everyone your best pegs and favourite baits do you? :)

Personally, I don't. However, Falkus & Buller's tome: Fresh Water Fishing, states that the flesh of grayling in season is better than trout. I can only imagine the furore on Facebook especially as the coarse fishing fraternity are operating a catch-and-release policy!

As Stephen says: Bit of rubber tube and a glow stick https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GLOW-FISHING-LURES-GLOW-STICKS-MINI-GLOW-STICK-MINI-FISHING-LURES-LARGE-LURES/222533056985?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=521379775478&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 These come with short sections of tubing to...

To reiterate Neil's point, which for the vast majority on here will seem obvious but is often not done by the YouTube generation: rest the fish as soon as you have netted it. I think this initial lack of care probably leads to more belly-up fish than any other. I watched a clip of a lad...

You'll probably have more light than you think. Add to this that you are likely to be casting much shorter distances, possibly to features on your own bank of the river. If you're familiar with the swims, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Chances are, you'll also have the pick of the swims...

Forget the paint option (at least the one I have)!

George I'm assuming you mean this sort of tape...
