R.I.P Tony. He will be sadly missed. Brian.

Hi Stephen Yes they were net caught. Brian.

Following on from Phils post, it is amazing how much insect life there is in the gravel, lots of Gammarus, Olive Baetidae plus a numerous amount of various insects. Also very interesting is the capture of a few Barbel measuring 2 inches in length, these were taken from under the near side bank...

Hi Dave, Well done mate, a very good post. Reading quite few of Chris Yates books in his very early days, when all he had was a pedal cycle and an ordinance survey map, crossing fields, knocking at land owners doors for permission to look at the bit of water that appeared on his map in search...

Nice one Derek.

Cheers for that Ray. Sorry to here that Honey G got booted off. Brian.

Hi All Well done Phil, a good fish although not your PB, very welcome in cold weather. I must say I am very surprised that not many anglers fish on Beat 1 at THROOP. A section of river that runs deep and is under fished. This part of the Stour has seen the capture of many large fish...

Hi Ray I hope you are well, a few things come to mind on Barbel distribution, remember the traveller that was caught on THROOP and was also caught on the Royalty. I can also remember the words of Trefor West, on the Teme in one swim that was three feet deep and two feet of that were Barbel...

Hi Mike, Just google Lemon Barbel and hey presto there it is. Brian.

Here is a link, which should give you more info. http://www.garysmithfishing.com/sfw17.html

Fished La Pedra in Torremendo- Orihuela, it's a gigantic man made reservoir, it's a flooded valley that holds some gigantic Barbel, I have caught small Barbel, Carp and Black Bass. Where the river joins the reservoir is where the big Barbel are located, I do believe that there was a post on...

Hi Dave Cheers for that mate, a good saving. The old days were great when one of my buddy's was manager at A. D. I may even get a spare or two. Brian.

Hi Stephen I just removed the inner pole and replaced it with one I bought from a tackle shop that has already got a screwed end in place. Brian.

I have 3 korum brollies that lay at the back of my garage, they have been there since I purchased a Daiwa 50 inch lightweight fibre glass arm Brolly, it's in the Mission range, MD 125. Myself and 6 other anglers have bought these brilliant bits of kit, not cheap at around £60, although they...

HI Chris, I am glad that you have got things sorted out. Changing the subject, how are you ? Nice to see you posting on BFW. I have been in contact with Alan Oliver but we never seem to meet up, possibly my fault. Perhaps we will all meet up one day. Good luck with your nightmare...

Rip to Jan a great character, he will be sadly missed. Condolences to his family.

Merry christmas and a happy new year best fishes.

I have been using Whiplash Braid for over 12 years never had a problem. Most of Berkley stuff is very reliable. If you are using braid for the first time, make sure that your rod is a good quality soft action from 1.2 to 1.75 lb bs. Most of all you must persevere with it, it does take a...

I was in Sports Direct today. A £250 jacket for £125. Who in their right mind would pay that amount of money for a jacket from SD. Ashley must be on the verge of buying a new team, their prices are soaring. And to add insult to injury a whole collection of Robson Greene tackle. Brian.
