Thanks - just catching would be nice as it’s tough going in my local river. General tactic there seems to be a feeder in the middle of the river, it does look like a great bit of water. On a separate note how’s your waters been fishing this last year ? I’m down the road (Barford) and it’s been...

Thanks - sounds like the Wye a few years ago, minus the kayaks !!! I didn’t realise barbel were in such abundance over there. Shame Ade sold up as have heard nothing but good reports.

Bit of a thread-bounce on this one as am looking to fish the Meuse later this year, likely July / August. Has anyone fished in Fumay at all please ? I came across a really a good YouTube video (Paul Floyd) and it looks a nice spot, not too far to travel to by car and some camping areas / hotels...

The farmer who owns those fields must have seen something over the years even if it’s just prints. Any chance you could post those pics again please as they look to have been deleted ?

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve heard a few podcasts where the carp boys talk about the full fat GLM powder vs unfatted. They also say there are two variations of the full fat. The cheap stuff like nutrabsits sell and the more expensive stuff like FeedStim which is x3 the price !!!

Me and my mate fish Harvington and he said he saw a big cat last year. I had no reason to not believe him especially when this was reported a few weeks ago: https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/24808838.big-cat-sightings-worcestershire-puma-harvington/ Looping in @John Care as I’m sure a...

This is what i use. Can configure it to fit any swim and packs away nicely for travel.

Has anyone used GLM as an attractor in their bait making at all please ? Was walking the bank yesterday and after the water dropping down a metre I noticed hundreds of swan mussel shells on the bankside. I know Nutrbaits do GLM powder (as do Holland & Barett) and was thinking of soaking some...

Hahah - that’s a proper ear-worm.

I’m in the same position and also looking for one. Narrowed it down to Korum Super Lite River or the Drennan Specialist Umbrella. Both have the following: Removable centre pole Pegging points Bank stick threads

Any danger of starting a thread specifically on “pressure” ? I feel the original purpose of the post had gone way off topic.

On my local waters it’s “40 match anglers each and every Saturday”. Once the clocks change it barely gives pleasure anglers and time to fish.

For storm-poles the Korum screw ones are good as they come with a small detachable handle which really allows you to drive the bankstick into the ground. For regular bankstick I use Fox block label mainly as they fit into their matching stage-stands so I can use on pallets if needed or just...

Yeah some of the swims are a bit dodgy. I thought Woody was super helpful. He got my phone, opened up Google maps and “pinned” exactly where to park and which swims to try and how far out to cast.

Put us on a place called Warham. Friend I was with had three fish in three casts !!! We’re going to join HDAA next season for sure.

Can I ask what legs you used for this tripod please ? I got a Trakker tripod for the Wye last weekend and within 2-mins it had fallen over and washed all my bloody meat / pellet down the bloody river !!!

Just come back from four days on the Wye with a mixture of the Fishing Passport and HDAA day ticket. The Creel - Had my first Barbel of the season on my second cast in the middle of the day, then another one about an hour later. I also lost one which was a frustration. My mate also lost one but...

Horses for courses IMO. Last Friday I went for a few hours after work with an 11ft rod and my pin, a rod rest and landing net. This Friday I’m doing an overnight so will have a bivvy / x2 12ft rods with alarms / cooking gear / bivvy tables etc… I love YouTube but this year every man and his...

I’d message the guy in this video and Lee Swords.

I fished the Guadiana earlier in the year for Barbel but the Portuguese side of the river (it runs from Spain). Ideally you want a local guide to put you on some decent stretches as these rivers are wide and deep. I fished a section in a small town called Mertola and it was 15m deep in places...
