    Bird ID

    It is a bit of a coincidence that this thread should appear at this time. I am half way through making s series of shot tubes decorated with Owls , they are not finished yet but I thought I would post a quick snap of them. They are not all native to the UK but because they are so striking the...

    your reasoning for your leader length and material?

    Do you mean the hooklength ? As I understand it a leader is a length of heavier line between sinker and main line, usually in freshwater about 6 ft but could be much longer, to absorb any last sudden lunges when a fish approaches the net, and also act to resist abrasion on the riverbed . I...

    Wellies

    Just google Bekina Steplights Paul, lots of shops stock them, they retail at about £55.00 a pair or thereabouts, so quite a bit cheaper than some named brands . You will certainly find them in Agricultural suppliers . David
