    Sad times just makes us think

    Surely this shouldn't be made into a political post, we should all be working together not arguing, that's the only way we will get through this.

    River temperature taking

    I bought 2 new reuben heaton digitals a few years back, there was 4 degrees fahrenheit difference in the readings on them, hence why I use the mercury thermometer. Temperature trend is important but it is nice to know what the actual temperature is.

    So what has changed?

    The way I look at is we have what we have, difficult yes but I still enjoy it. I have a few trips to the Wye each year to build my confidence for fishing the Hampshire Avon and Dorset Stour, I enjoy my trips to the Wye but wouldn't want to fish it all the time. If I catch a barbel on the Avon or...

    EA Close Season Consultation

    Correct Rhys, but the game fishing brings minimal income for the club, We sell a game fishing permit for Throop and have 6 members who buy it bringing in £215. Nobody is saying that tackle shops are specifically closing because of the close season but river anglers buying bait etc may help...

    EA Close Season Consultation

    Not just small tackle shops going, as somebody said fishing republic, Leslies and Bennets have gone, like river anglers paying for 12 month fishing and being allowed to fish for 9 months, clubs paying leases for 12 months and being allowed to fish for 9 months it is a total farce. It has made no...
