fished there a few times but always on the float, had a few barbel and small chub but there are much better areas to fish. And of course it depends on the river conditions... if the river is up you wouldn't want to fish there. Parking at Eign I'd suggest walk upstream into the woods and try and...

the new elipse still work Barry, can't really compare to the old ones as there were more fish in the river when I was using them !

signed, luckily we still see hares in the Essex countryside.

I've had carp to 35lb in mine, it was a bit tight tho !! Plenty big enough for barbel imo.

ive subscribed Ian.

someone I know built a pagoda over his, it meant the pond wasn't visible from the sky and it looked ok, seemed to work for him. like you Ive got lakes nearby and once they find your pond they will keep returning unfortunately.

Ive given up on my pond after 25 years, impossible to stop the herons unless you cover it completely which is unsightly.

truly appalling situation, which it seems could have been prevented.

Steve, Ive been using Drennan Supplex fluro, works well for me. you could try a combo rig (last 3 inches braid) and see if that works better for you.

My Grubs are fine, Ive got three pairs and all are a few years old. I suspect just like Muckboots that to save costs the quality decreases over time which may mean the newer ones are not so good, shouldn't be like that but seen it a good few times before.

Top tenching young Bill !!

Keith, join BAA, £40 for the season

id recommend you go 12' on the Severn Daniel, the extra foot will help when its got water on or if you re fishing across in normal conditions.

Drennan twist lock pole and one of these, medium plenty big enough - https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/wychwood-specimen-quickfold-landing-net

and I landed 3 of these too ... this one was 17lb

and this as a new PB at 2lb 12oz

Had a great day today on one of our club carp lakes, decided to fish the float for roach and rudd with the knowledge that the odd zoo creature may turn up. Had lots if fish and some quality roach from 6oz upwards topped by these two .... This one was 2lb 3oz

The thinking anglers is great quality but pretty small, Wychwood do a similar one that slightly larger and great quality too. Personally I don't like the ones that lay flat.

Im on a run of 5 blanks in my last 6 outings. Funny how you can catch in February and blank in May !!

i generally only fish one rod, 4000 or 5000 size reels will be fine Neil.
