    Great Ouse stocking

    Undoubtedly many will perish to predation/floods/pollution etc but those that do survive will be just that - survivors, and hopefully attain good weights and naturally reproduce. The restocking policy is not a quick fix but rather a longer term plan for the rivers future. Some of the fish have...

    Ebay

    Selling on eBay has become a bit of a mare IMO, too many chancers, idiots and time wasters. Or at least that’s my experience. However, for buying it can still throw up some bargains, especially when seller has listed an item badly/incorrect or is local pick up only and your willing to travel

    Fish Flix

    Adams mill is very narrow in places, especially the backwater….a good running jump and you’d clear it! To think it was once home to multiple giant barbel that would eclipse many of the Trent biggies is astonishing

    Fish Flix

    It was that film and the Adams mill/kickles one that got me subscribing, brought back lots of fond memories whilst I can’t get out myself recovering from a hernia op ….have been impressed with the quality of the content so far, for the cost of a beer or two it’s worth it IMO

    Daiwa QD Reels

    Have a search for shimano GTM 4010, they are very capable reels, they do t have the cranking power for large feeders on the Trent but smaller rivers they are perfect. I have a couple of these and the fighting drag is superb - good condition models do still come up on eBay…if it wasn’t for...

    17/18ft float rod

    My local tackle shop said they was informed by the drennan rep that a 17ft accy specimen is in the pipeline….no idea on timescale but will be an interesting addition to the range

    Best reel For trotting when casting distance?

    daiwa TDX would be my choice too Mike followed by Daiwa matchwinner or Shimano Stradic GTM (the original Japanese models are best) If you prefer something a bit more retro have a look at a Shimano super match HS, superb trotting reels
