Peanuts of a fine compared to the damage caused . Probably limited by the fact the Farmer and worker was not making a large income. To me it reads like a 'Green' Biogas company gives its waste to a Farmer to dispose of and they did it irresponsibly. Why not go after the 'Green' biogas company...

Yes it could have done without the Poem and Song from Benjamin and Charlotte. I liked the Wharf people getting Bathing Water Status on their local river and forcing it to be cleaned up. I will be looking into that and testing for E. coli. I get hundreds of people swimming in the bit of river I...

Rapala line stripper works well, put the line in the right direction, press the button and aim into a bin.

The CEO'S and directors need to be Jailed. Send a message to all the other companies that this sort of thing will not be tolerated. The money needs to go on Fishery work and things like Sea horse restoration projects.

Got a call late Tuesday night our club offered to lend pumps to the Fisheries Angling club. The sewage main near West Hyde got blocked and had burst a few days before. The main had apparently blocked all the way to Amersham around 6 miles. Thames water were pumping the sewage into tankers and...

Not sure how it works Joe but West Hyde is an Affinity site and the water goes to Eden spring. Eden springs list West Hyde as one of their two sources on their website. Affinity water is now seeking to increase the water under its abstraction license to mitigate HS2 work. After complaints that...

The French connection, tankers going abroad with our Colne aquifer water was a rumour for a very long time Paul. I managed to collar some Affinity workers at Colnecan 2019 about the West Hyde aquifer and one mentioned Eden spring. If you go on their website they are the company taking massive...

The best one I was sent was an email that seemed to come from Facebook. The email looked like two Facebook friend requests, you were advised to click on the person to see who they were. The sneeky buggers had made up people or got lucky that had the same surname as remote family members in...

I posted this April last year. This tatty bottle of Hutchinson Mulberry Florantine sold on Ebay for £350 plus postage , real Madness . About 3 years ago I saw one in a reduced box for £5 in a tackle shop along with a Southern Fried Chicken. I bought the Southern Fried Chicken and left the...

A really good idea Andrew working with them to get what you want. I have some of their starlight and lighter floats and they are very well made. The white Starlight seals work very well and are very secure I always wondered why they did not make more floats suited to the UK market, now the do.

The Drennan wide gape specialists are fine in smaller sizes with lighter gear but too thin in the wire for serious Barbel fishing with heavier lines. So many types of hook already recommended

Cheers Derek , crap at links. A couple of years ago one vendor was putting a very similar one up daily for auction and a few of us managed to get a number of them for 99p delivered before they became popular . The price has gradually gone up but the product is very good

Try punching this number into a search on Ebay 303970107783 and select the large size, the medium will probably be tight ( check the height depth and width). Its a thick, soft £ 5 99 Neoprene reel case that is very forgiving if dropped. You night have to wait up to a month for delivery though.

Paul, you will find there are a number of storm drains and sewage outfalls feeding into the Lugg. Possibly one of them is at fault. Have a look at the website 'Is my river fit to play in' it shows all the outfalls into the Lugg and its tributaries. Lots are permits from places other than Water...

I got a Youngs purist 11 for 20 years at the company I worked at many years ago. A great reel and I personally like the colour and the solid back and winding area to the spool rather than the Open spool back of the river specialist with all its bits visible and a slotted winding area. To me...

Richard can you please tell me how much it was to sort

One of our local Sewage works (we really should never call them treatment works ) Chesham was dumping hundreds of wet wipes, pads and raw sewage into the River Chess a local chalk stream. The local River Chess association were picking up hundreds from the river. Thames denied everything , but...

My local sewage works Maple Lodge dumped raw sewage into the Colne for 1109.9 hours over 83 days last year. Last month I was advised by WASP (Windrush against Sewage pollution) on how to ask the correct questions under the freedom of information act. I sent the questions via Emails to Thames...

Steve, I did a weigh up for you on my Relums, Kingpins and Swallows close to hand. My MK11 Hans J Swallow reel weighs 295g, mk1 swallow 252g, the standard Relum 316g, a Bob james Relum 340g, Green kingpin 321g, Silver kingpin 296g both 6 round holes and look the same ? , kingpin with 6...

To be honest Steve with the pre covid selling price of Swallows being up to and over £300 pounds and Arnolds over £240 on some sites I always thought the Relum reels were a bargain in comparison but recently the prices have escalated. I bought a Relum for £60 and one for £90 but those prices...
