Courvoisier vsop, Glenmorangie, Bushmills, and some fine claret. Also a great little cap peak light that my friend brought back from the US.

Wow, just got my Tay Sports, they are light, easy to walk in, generous fit, and most important warm. Well worth the extra. There were so many people praising them I thought there must be something worth investigating here, and how right that was.

Hello Mark, Sounds as though he is lucky to have you. Good luck Colin

The back end of the season I did quite well on the Royalty with Barbel to 13:05 on rolling meat. The closed season I did a PB Tench 8:02 from the pits at Chichester. I wasted most of the Summer traveling to venues that have a reputation, and should have stayed local. I got beaten up by two...

Hello Mark, Maybe you should carry the poor old chap at least for some of the distance, find a corner in the ruckbag for him.;) Boots would not have lasted 5 minutes with my last dog, Border Collie, he went through 3 sets of rear seat belts and they looked as though they had been cut with...

I have removed the varnish on several rods with Nitromors paint remover. Apply the nitromors to a short length (2ft) of the blank, and when it starts to bubble scrape it off with the back of a knife blade and wash of with a rag and warm water. Repeat process until blank is varnish free. I know...

Hello Joe, Ian is right it is the way you load your spools. Do not load fixed spools with your spool of line revolving on a spindle through the centre, hope that makes sense, this methods is fine for centre pins. Get someone to help or put the line spool, gentley held by one edge, in a vice...

Hello Dave, Try a dummy run at home in the garden. Get your chair set up with golf brolly and see how dry it will keep you. ATB Colin

Hello David Gauntlett, I have my Gortex hooded jacket on, bits and pieces tucked under or beside my chair. It starts to rain so put up the golf brolly so that it is over the back of the chair and the spokes rest on top of my head, and this will keep me dry. If lucky enough to get a bite then...

Hello David, The older I get the more weight I try to loose, personally, and from the tackle bag. Ditch the big fishing brolly and get a good golf type brolly, they are very light weight, and cheap. I find mine keeps me dry enough with my bags and bait pulled tight to my chair. It is so easy...

In a word YES, 30cm of white tip. The reason being that I fish a lot of smaller rivers and in certain light conditions it is very difficult to see the rod tip against a background of dark trees, and I personally find it easier to focus on than one small point.

On the Rother on Saturday. Long tailed tits, Buzzards, 1 Red Kite, Blue & Great tits, Tree Creeper, Swallows and Martins, Grey Squirrels taking acorns in the Oak opposite, a jet black Mink, a Grass snake, Sparrow hawk, Kingfisher, and a pike of a foot in length trying to swallow a dace of 3"...
