    River Reports

    I used to give more info about the warks avon but after reporting a large fish (for that river) I was criticized for not being a local angler.

    I was temped by the kid's smile, but the captor of the Ivel fish looks delighted as he should be and has probably had to work hard for the fish. He knows what he has got in his hands and yes I'm jealous.

    digital thermometer

    Quite simple no correlation with any other temperature taken by other anglers. this is needed for the trend to be consistent. the reading also takes a very long time to settle It could be that the rueben is the only one that is correct, However this is most unlikely and it would not matter if...

    How do you prepare your Hemp??

    I just soak mine. It seems to work no problem. Further to adding bi carb when cooking, Washing soda works a lot better to turn hemp black. It also turns tares a much darker shade than bicarb and the tares are nice and soft. Wash before use as it feels slimy because it's alkaline. I haven't told...
