Thanks GE and Rhys.

In high water (very snaggy part of the Wye) I rarely get snagged,,, compared to in low water virtually every other cast for some reason ?? More often than not I am losing hook and feeder. Using 12lb line, heavy feeder , and whether upstream or straight out with bow in line etc Never really...

DG ...Ta for reply,my intention genuinely was not "avin a pop at carpers" but towards some of the crappy tackle and accessories we are perhaps all gullable enough to buy at some time. I mean like the fact that your slippers are camo is gonna make you a better equipped, more efficient angler ...

Blimey,,,, D.G lighten up blud. How about a fixed spool reel with a bite alarm built into it. Hah,! Every time you strike you got a birds nest..(well my mate did)

TF Gear NEW Carp Fishing Flips Sandals Bivvy Slippers/Shoes Do people really buy camo bivvy slippers ???? Jeeeeez ! What other useless bits of kit have you seen ?

Google "Wye Rapids Cottages" at Symonds Yat West , a number of these rent out for holiday lets(block of 18No). Stunning location,can see river from them,opposite Saracens Head. Close to Biblins and Ross waters I stay there regularly.

Adam I think you know what I mean when I say "fish the river I am looking at". You seem a bit prickly, it is I (and a good number of others) that have reason to feel irritated for want of a better word ! Any idea how far down the waiting list I am mate ?

What a gent !

Adam Ask Graham about my address,,Wye Rapids Cottages and he may recall an e mail I sent to him expressing my keen interest "very early"in the proceedings !! I am aware where the Biblins starts etc etc thank you.

I was not accepted sniff,sniff. So I now look out of my bedroom window at the river opposite The Saracens Head but cannot fish it. Guess applying next day was not quick enough as it was first come, fist served,,,,,,,,,,?

Yes canoes,, and on some stretches rowing boats backed up with small motor launch with a "guy " in it with a loud hailer. Strange but the row boats are virtually completely unaware of the anglers on the bank

I cant help but feel sorry for some of the local Glamorgan AC fellas who know and love this stretch , previously paying £65 for the club ticket and not being able to afford the increase (no matter how good value for money some may feel the syndicate is). Lets hope GAC survive this "major...

"quality rather than quantity..............." Mmmmm,,but how ??? As for open discussion on forum I am sure Adam and his partner will be looking in occassionally to see how things develope and if a few seeds are sown with this thread whats the harm ?

PS I dont want to get up at 3am for early morning sessions every time I wish to have a peaceful days fishing :p

In all seriousness,, the amount of canoes coming down thro the Biblins from spring to mid winter,(not just summer) makes fishing from late morning to about 4-5pm less than enticing. Therefore early evening 5pm (hire canoes have to be back by a certain time) onwards is the best time to really...

Portaloo :eek: No night fishing,,,well maybe not after 11pm ??? Does not have to be 1 hour after sunset

Roach on a bogey when I was a kid ! Classy eh !

I dont believe this actually has direct WUF involvement ? ,,,or does it ?? I dont know for sure,...anyone ?
