Severn Valley View. Highley Facilities excelent Location briliant We have been 5 years on the trot, it is clean and comfortable. Colin

Iain Tutt What makes you think I like older gear? I have no split cane rods and have never expressed an interest in old tackle so I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Read the top of page 13 in the club handbook on minimum line for Barbel. Nelson did not write it but is on the...

6lb and 8lb line with a 1.25 TC rod might be fun for the angler, but not for the fish. You will be playing a sizable fish to exhaustion with the risk of serious damage. The Petworth and Bognor club who control the best barbel fishing in Sussex say 10lb line should be a minimum for barbel fishing...

weigh in the landing net, and deduct the weight of the fish. This causes much less stress to the fish, with much less handling.

I brought two pairs of clip on flip ups for £20 from Specsavers, and they work well.

Read Andy Orme's book "Barbel Mania". He recommends them. I have used them in the past and no problems, had my first double,12lb 02oz, with one.

I found something in my local tackle shop called a bivy mat. It is brilliant as an unhooking mat and only £10, it rolls up and fits in the bank stick pocket of my Korum Quiver. It is made from neoprene.

Severn Valley View, advertised on this site, has done me and my mate well for the last three years. Not quite fishing from the garden, but fairly close.

why do Christchurch still claim to have Ibsley down to Ringwood on their web site?

Lear to Wallis cast. If you have reasonable hand eye coordination you should be able to teach yourself in a couple of hours. There is plenty of information on how it is done on Google. Get a pin that is reasonably free running, contrary to popular belief it does not have spin for 10 minutes in...

does it matter

The Western Rother in West Sussex has abundant peace and quiet and wild life. The scenery is superb.

Paid for mine at local Post Office, as usual, in March, and it was sent to my house in less than a week , as usual. Never been a problem. Mind you sometimes wonder why I bother, because it is over 15 years since I was asked for it.

Deep Lake at Chichester has been good to me again. 10th April I had 13 Tench averaging 5lb and a small carp. 17th April 6 Tench best went 7lb 5oz. 24th April 8 Tench, 3 bream (best 9lb 3oz) and a carp of 11bl 1oz. I usually fish one rod on boilie and one on method feeder with sweet corn. When...

NO! Where is the science that says Bongela and the like are safe to use on fish. It is idiotic to assume that if it works on you then it must work on a cold blooded fish and not cause it any harm.

Pete this is a rig bin but one that meets your needs. Acquire a length of cylindrical, dense foam pipe insulation of a diameter that will fit in a rod tube with an all round clearance of 10mm. If you want 2ft then cut foam and rod tube to 2ft. Secure hooks around one end of the foam and secure...

Dave I have 2 Purists and mine also have ratchets. The only braking system is my right thumb.

Yes good prices Graham, they are a dream to use.
