Anywhere where there are big fish, weather it be Barbel, Carp, Bream, Tench etc will attract a lot of people too. Again, most are at least in their mid 40’s from what i can see. I think it will go the other way and in 20 years or so hardly anyone will be fishing the rivers. We had a similar...

Not sure if we will get to that stage tbh? There is a lot of ‘hard work’ (in the form of less decent access, planning due to levels & just the fact the water is constantly moving & changing etc, etc) which is one reason i think Carp fishing has become so popular…..it’s easy. Not slating anyone...

Done, pleasure to help. Keep up the good work 👍🎖️

Will add / send photos on Monday if interested (away with work all weekend)

I’v got same set up along with ‘Lens Buddy’ app so it takes a series of shots after the initial press (however many & speed you ask it to). Works well & even though i normally avoid Korum stuff these days find the light useful especially when packing up in the dark

There is also Hampton Springs (about 10 mins from Bolesworth) if you want your carp fix? It’s a commercial complex with a specimen lake. Well run, good shop & café if that floats your boat or its too hot for the river

There is Emstrey which is £8 on line. Nice stretch about 11/2 mile of bank just outside of Atcham. Good, safe carpark and a variety of swims to go at? (Theres a few videos on YouTube). https://shrewsburytownfisheries.co.uk/fisheries/emstrey/

You’re right! It did come folded in a box. 👍

I’ve got a brand new specialist 2 rod hard case. £35 + post (£5?) or collect from Crewe if any good?

Think you can do both tbh? I burned myself out back in the early 2000’s in my pursuit of big fish and promised myself it wouldn’t happen again. It’s all about catching of course but i dont nightfish, travel (reasonably) light and still enjoy my surroundings whilst fishing. I also love going in...

I used the net last season. Great, well made and ‘did the job’ but got fed up with it as awkward to carry. Best was on top of my rucksack but still found it to get in the way somehow. Gone back to a drennan 32” triangle so it fits in the quiver.

Easy to walk in. I thought they’d just clog up & hold mud but they dont. No more slip, sliding and i used to get a bad back from constantly tensing up to stop sliding but have learnt to relax now and can even get in swims i’d never have done without them. I can honestly say that i’ve never felt...

Been said before but crampons/cleats that stretch over your boots have changed my winter fishing on the Severn! You can get a pair off Ebay for less than a tenner and will be the best tenner you’ll spend!

You should be happy with them. I used them for 3 years & loved them! Did everything i asked and always felt in control. I’ve ‘upgraded’ to FS Tamers in 1.75 and unless i find them better than they feel in the hand when the season starts, i’m regretting it!

Quite good nets from Gerry’s of Morecambe. I tried rubberising my own before getting one but whilst it worked fine, i needed a sherpa to carry it! These are reasonably light 👍

I’ve found Gardner Target flouro to be good. Been using it for a couple of seasons and had no trouble at all

You snooze, you loose! 👍🤣
