For me it won't make any difference, my nearest "local" river happens to be in Wales, travelling to the Severn at Shrewsbury is 25 miles, which I consider to be beyond the intent of the lockdown rules and my local canal towpath is so full of walkers, etc that it's not Covid safe!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I have a pair of the Darent Valley rods, also one of their 0.75TC specialist, all excellent value rods and quite capable of punching "above their weight". I've had tench and barbel to just under 8lbs on the Avons, also 6lb barbel and 9lb pike on the lighter rod without feeling undergunned.

This one, just remember to store it in the freezer, yes, I mean freezer...

Stormsure is what you need, stuck a loose sole back on one of my Muckboots 3 winters back and still going strong! Must agree about the lining wearing quickly but still think they are excellent boots, much better than any others I've had.

I have 2 rods that I'm happy to use for barbel float fishing, a Greys Prodigy TXL in 13' and a Preston Innovations Excel in 15', both happy coupled with 8lb line and either a medium fixed spool or a centrepin depending on the swim and length of cast required.

Four for me, one of which has been a total waste this year as I only have it for the tench fishing! One of the others is likely to go next year as I can't find the time to fish all the waters i have access to.

My memory must be going, it was 3D printed, not injection moulded. File is available on Thingiverse, think it was on Fishing Magic, not here.

Someone posted on here with a file for injection molding one, there were versions for narrow and wide drum Speedias, perhaps the search function could locate it? I had my stepson do me one for my wide drum and not had any problem with it.

I have an Aqua quiver and my Fox Specialist brolly fits OK.

Tom, have you tried asking Mill Tackle for advice? https://www.milltackle.com/

I am the same Cliff, normally I'm eager to get to the river on opening day but this year the thought of possible interaction with other people is filling me with trepidation.

Great hook, been my favourite for years too.

And I thought I had too many with 2 different sized spoons and 2 different folding triangles!

Been plenty of spawning action on the Severn over the last two weeks.

I had a pair of the Fox 10000 some years ago and was not impressed! I currently have a pair of Emcast 4000BR which I find ideal for my barbel fishing, they replaced my Shimano 3500B's and I've not regretted the change. I have a pair of Shimano DL4000FA which I use for my tench fishing, they...

Dave, Keep chasing them, it took me weeks to get a refund claim number out of them after I turned down the open ticket option. When I reminded them that they had 7 days to issue a refund under EC261 this was the reply I got "Dear Customer Thank you for your email. We’re very sorry for the...

Who were you flying with Dave? We were due to fly out April 27th with Virgin, still trying to get a refund from them, threatened to escalate if not done by the end of May and they haven't bothered to reply yet! Still hoping that our October trip may happen but more likely to be next year before...

Some of us have more pressing issues than getting fishing opened up, I have been writing to my MP to complain about the delays to prostate cancer treatment that have occurred due to Covid19. Despite Matt Hancock's statement early last week it is still a postcode lottery whether you get treatment...

All clubs I'm a member of have put out closure notices for all waters, many people can't seem to understand that 'stay at home' was directed at EVERYONE!
