Do ccmoore still do the meat ones. Think they were called meateor or something?

I’d say probably. They are probably like humans where some of us are shy and timid and others are bold and brave.

Hair rigs have been used for ages and still probably catch more fish than any other method. I think it’s less the rigs that they would wise up to and more the danger of being caught in a certain area by feeding on certain baits all the time. If you kept getting ill from eating pizza from a...

I think if they wised up to rigs we’d never catch them. The oldest rigs still work after decades. I’d say they probably wise up to certain baits in the same swims if they keep getting caught but pretty sure they forget before too long as they’ll get caught again sooner or later. If they are...

That’s all well and good when the water is warm. Cold water will shock you into a panic. A chap I knew from a carp syndicate died in France a couple of years back after falling overboard from the boat he was out in the lake on

I think that comes down to the ease of other baits. It’s a lot easier to just grab a tin of meat or some boilies or pellets from home than it is to go to the tackle shop and get some maggots

Scary stuff. Crampons are a must on wet banks. Absolutely no chance of slipping

Cheers for the info. Think I’ll give the place a miss

Can you nightfish this stretch? Sure I read somewhere that the house owner doesn’t allow it but I might be wrong

Yeah I never bothered sending them off in the end was cheaper to just buy some avons

I use the same line as my main line for hooklinks. After filling my reels the rest of the spool goes in my bag to make hooklinks. Iv used a few different lines over time and you’d be surprised at the different thicknesses throughout a spool that the line changes. You can noticeably see that some...

Used to love the sufix floating line back in the day that got discontinued. Used the 8lb for floater fishing for carp and was the nuts

Iv got some old flyweights that weigh pretty much the same as my avons give or take a lb or so. So either they are both ok or they are both way off. My main beef with digitals is that the first set I got were erratic straight from the off so returned them and paid the extra for some fox digies...

Did they come past at the same time or throughout the day? I was at ladyham I think it was last year and 3 floated past within about a minute. I can understand them getting bird flu and dying but thought it a bit strange that they’d pretty much die at the same time as each other. I must say...

Wasn’t it last year or the year before loads of swans died of it. Can remember seeing a few float past

Definitely the kingfisher. I had to wait til 10 mins before I packed up to catch one

Never get chance to photograph them when they land on my rod but luckily had my phone in my hand. Shame the tip of my boot is the frame but I didn’t want to scare it off by moving

I brought the jag kit recently. Only use the black file though so in hindsight I should of just brought that. One of the smaller files was actually snapped down to about an inch and the broken off bit wasn’t even in there but couldn’t be bothered taking it back

Dead calm river Severn at the minute. The fishing is pretty dead as well unfortunately

I was using one up until this season when I went down Severn Stoke when the river was low and it would just about of reached the water if I’d of needed it (blanked so didn’t matter). I went out and brought the 1.6m one and have just used that since. I think if you’ve got the big one then no need...
