    Middle trent advice

    I'm newish to the Trent. Had a couple of sessions. Straight leads and feeders have both caught. Haven't needed more than 2oz yet. Small pellets, corn, small meat and maggots have all induced bites. Good luck.

    River Severn Holt fleet weir

    Yes, very snaggy in the weir pool. You're better off casting up into the pool, as opposed to across into the pool. I've heard it has become very overgrown. The swim at the end of the island used to be decent.

    Cows

    As a teenager 13/14 when we first started fishing. We'd encounter cows all the time. Some of my mates were scared and would run. The cows just started to run too. I didn't mind them. I believed I could out run them. I read some where a few years later, any four legged mammal can run faster than...

    Day / night ticket waters . . .

    I looked at notts feds, the website is not working properly or wasn't. I went with the Newark book instead. However the only night venue is opposite A1. Only for one season. At £55 I thought better value than a1 at £15 @ 24 hours. Done two nights the other week. Woke up the second morning and...

    Heat!

    I've been out a couple of evenings on the float, at the tail of a weir pool. Some small chub and decent roach. 3lb line so I don't think I'd have to worry about realising a barbel.

    Another tackle shop going

    It's a shame. Two shops in Oxford have closed recently. I've been told. Browns in Leighton Buzzard closed at the end of the year too. Made me think. When you just need something for tomorrow eg maggots or worms. Where do you go? Lucky my local is still open. Otherwise it's a 40 mile round trip...

    Daiwa QD Reels

    Happy new year all. I much prefer qd reels to bait runners. As I've commented previously. I set the drag by being able to pull line off myself. Turn the drag cap 180 degrees backwards (freespool). When I get a take, turn it forward 180 and bend the rod into the fish. If i need to apply more...
