Dave, Nice one.We have some of the cheapest Salmon fishing in europe,but dont tell anybody and if any one asks the Otters and seals have eaten them all. Leon theres your ansewer there is no Barbel in Yorkshire just 'big Gudgeon' Ken

Leon It was so bad this year I nearly took to golf.105 Hours before a Barbel,but when I look at it from a different view,I have generally fished a new section of water and often short afterwork sessions,which due to the current work situation have been more a sit in a deck chair,chuck out a...

Chris I think its a Northern thing.We try to convince ourselves that if Boris is feeding down south they will be up here.I made the mistake of being to focused on one species last winter so this year I am going to fish for Barbel when the weather and river is just right and then fish for other...

I use maxima for the majority of my running line fishing,and like most on here used to spray it to make it float.However back in the 90s, the national team I was fishing with, enlisted a certain John Allerton to give us a few tips on the Trent.One which made a big impression on me was to fish...

Whilst fishing a low river Dewent this summer I managed to get below a large snag which held elusive Derwent Barbel and I scrammbled to 'perch' on some alder roots which were usually submerged at normal summer level. Just before Dark, with fish bubbling a slight tap on the rod occured.I...

you cant beat fishmeal and micro pellets ...............for Bream.:D

Hurgen, Personally I prefer shot types in preference to styls. I did fish will styles for a while when hemp fishing but I now find that using number 10sand 8 shots well balanced give better presentation and shot bites when understood can give very useful feedback on how the fish are taking the...

Ah remember it well.16th July 1974,river Derwent Kirkham abbey. 3lbs 8 oz caught on an Ernest Stamford match rod and a strike right center pin,3lb sylcast line, PDQ caster hook and a 3bb balsa. Trotting next to a vast bed of streamer weed I thought I had caught the weed bed and after endless...

Robin I have just been doing a lateral line scale count,and it would seem to me that the 'Tommy' is not a true specimen and is in fact probaly a ruffe/bullhead hybrid.Hence its small size and pale colours. I shall be asking the competion officals to declare the result as void and think in the...

Robin you need to learn the end of the arm trick to make it bigger. Ken

Well done Patrick on a great three fish catch. Showed the 'old uns'a trick or two. Really enjoyed the company and day, shame I did not catch from the flyer. Big thanks to DNA BAITS for the samples,took mine to a match on the Tidal Ouse on Sunday and I set what we think may be a new river match...

Should be the usual Yorkshire style fishing day,lots of crack few fish but plenty of stories. If you are going to the pub for the excellent food take note that they do not take Credit or debit cards as I have found to my embarrassment. Count me in. Ken
