It was the connection between the leg and the mud foot that failed. Probably user error. I miss aligned the legs and had a comedy collapse at the start of the session and then misplaced my footing crossing a stream and fell on my chair a bit later on. I retraced my steps later on to try to...

Drat, my Nash Nomad Chair has finally failed. I"m gutted, it was a great chair, recommended on the old BFW many many years ago (20-25!) and served me extremely well. With a bit of thought and hard work I might be able to resurrect it but to be honest it would only be a matter of time until the...

That would be great Simon thanks

It's syndicate now with limited tickets and a long waiting list unfortunately.

Err no Jim, 6p a day is £21.90

Thanks for the replies folks. I'm after a smaller water really and size of fish isnt critical. I need to learn the ropes before chasing monsters. I'd spotted that one near Staunton Harold on the map. Not much info online that I could find. I'll have to get out on my bike and do a bit of...

I'm hoping to target tench this spring as it's a species I've never really targeted. I've got images of misty mornings, lilly pads, quill floats centrepins and a floppy hat. I've had a bit of a Google and I'm struggling to find anywhere local that I'd actually like to fish. They all seem to be...

Is there an electric shock risk if the boot gets wet? I remember reading about someone being electrocuted in the bath whilst charging their phone.

I was hoping to fish with friends near Newark this weekend. The first guy there couldn't hold bottom in a near side slack even with an 8oz lead which I found really surprising. There was loads of weed coming down too. Im sure with perseverance we would have found a fishable spot but there were...

Some great ideas there chaps. Apart from the Ginsters, my idea of hell 😀!!

Ok so here’s the scenario. The cupboard is bare and your planning an evening session the next day. You’re at work during the day but can just about make it to a reasonable sized supermarket at lunchtime. You’ll grab a sandwich meal deal for lunch. What do you grab for your evening on the bank?

I have one too, it's a great chair and I'm really not looking forward to the say when it finally gives up the ghost

I have both, they are both nice rods but I think the 2lber is better balanced. PS I bought the 2lber 2nd hand from you!!! :D

It seems my worst fears were justified. I just can’t understand How the people that do this to our rivers sleep at night.

Agreed, i've not been there but I just checked OS Maps and it's the Ogwen.

Derby Railway Angling Club are worth a look, they have a stretches a few miles downstream from Burton and you can pay a bit extra to get a night tight ticket.

If you are thinking of a species change then i would highly recommend treating yourself to the excellent Fallon's angler magazine. It's very much a magazine for the all rounder and the quality of the writing is superb, catching the essence of angling rather than the how to do it, proper...

My dad gave me his old grass hook recently. It looks like a good tool for the job.

Thanks, sounds like a micro torch or turbo flame lighter will be the way to go

OK got you Rich. I'll see if I can figure out what is needed and where to get them and get back to you.
