    Bewdley Bridge traffic.

    Closed going out of Bewdley (i.e. heading east) towards Kiddy @Trevor Summerfield. Open if you're going from Kiddy and onto Bewdley High Street.

    What are your top ten angling books?

    Not sure Ady, not seen him for 3-4 years. He's probably on a long sesh somewhere. 😂

    But it's right next to Dumbleton Brook @Mark Pevy , which runs a few miles down to the Teme ...and I'm only 8 minutes away from the Teme itself. With the Teme's 18ft floods, that'll do me mate 👍

    Cheapo Spoppering Rod

    Hi All, for the last few years I've been using a manky old carp rod**, cut down from 12ft to 7ft (test curve >30lb 😂 ) for my spoppering. It was unwieldy, very heavy, and had the 'action' of a Trigger's broom handle. But for this season I've splashed out on a 6ft, 3lb t/c 'Spoppering Rod'. It's...

    Crimping nylon booms

    Same as with thinner line ...by just twisting each end of the line (between thumb and index finger) in opposite directions, then tying it off @Alan Palmer

    Crimping nylon booms

    It works just as well with (thick) nylon, if not better Alan. I use twizzled nylon (35lb) booms regularly.

    Crimping nylon booms

    I'd twizzle @Alan Palmer .... easier and safer IMHO.

    Savage Gear boot foot waist waders

    Hi All, got a pair of above (#9) that I bought a few years ago, wore them once, then went back to neoprenes (got cold knees 😂 ). Reckon they must have stopped selling them now as I can't find a single advert for them except for the denim version, and I'm wondering what would be a fair price to...

    Hooking Maggots for Barbel

    Just a thought .....Abrasion resistance is directly proportional to the diameter of any given line (the thicker, the better/tougher). Combine that fact (and it is a fact) with another fact that, thin lines tend to stretch less than thin lines, then I reckon that you have to realistically weight...

    Harrison Chimera Specialist Number 2: what reel?

    For me, how the rod is 'balanced' by the reel is only a really important factor when using that rod to float fish a river. Yes, if you're float fishing a river, holding the rod for hours and continuously casting, then reel/rod balance is a very important factor. But if the rod is spending 98%+...
