Hi Howard, I have retired recently and now plan my trips to river conditions and not booked days off work. I have found it much more relaxing as you can walk the bank pre sessions and plumb and bait up at your leisure no need to rush home after work etc. My fishing partner only works at weekends...

Has anyone else tried this site (guagemap.com) you can have a tweet sent too you. From various rivers at certain location, this tweet contains current river level.

You read all this and wish you hadn't bothered, but still had to post your opinion. Brilliant!

And your thoughts are?

Are you being paulist hugo????

Bob's rods are great John, though there are other makers out there.

I bought mine early chaps, always do before the rush so to speak. I understand people's apprehension not to as they haven't been checked since day one.

Who decides what the official list is? Is it the British record gadjes? And what is the official requirements for claiming a record??

Huh?

I did quite a bit of work with Stuart and Guy on the last DVD. Even managed to make a brief appearance on it. Can't talk for them but i know Stuart is very busy with his film company (filming top gear) and building his new house. As for Guy who i still fish with most weeks,don't think there is...

Try cheese paste. Mix any strong cheese stilton, danish blue etc with pastry that you can buy in a roll. mix together and add a flavor of your choice and a little oil if it gets to dry. The smellier the better. Keep in a plastic bag and just keep adding to it. Word of warning it will stink but...

Hi Stephen, You can wear a buoyancy aid under your clothing but as it says it's only an aid. I wear a crew saver 275 newton life jacket with a hammar system so that it works by water pressure. The first one i bought worked when it got wet so when it rained it would inflate, not so good. You can...

Graham try a motorcycle shop. I got mine from the cycle show at nec £5 will try and send link. If you are going to purchase a life jacket! I have a 275 newton Crew saver that only inflates when in water or manually (Hammer type) 275 newton is designed for persons wearing heavy clothing. It also...

Tragic news. My thoughts to all his family at this very sad time. Never good to loose one of our barbel family. RIP.

Ps I would never use this on any of the smaller rivers i fish such as the H Avon, Kennet, Thame, Windrush, Evenlode etc as these are much easier to read.

Hi Paul, I also fish the Thames around Wallingford and as you say it's a big river. At times with little or no flow, so it can be very hard to read from the surface alone. This is why on my recce to a new venue i try and map as much of the river bed as i can before i start to fish it. The...

As i said i only use it to save time. I walk miles of the upper and middle Thames with my dog and to be honest it can all look the same. if you use a float to test the depth it takes hours and i mean hours. With this you can walk along casting into likely looking spots as you would do if you...

[/URL][/IMG] Screen is 3.9" diag and the yellow float can be cast across the thames with no problem. I use braid with a carp rod. Paul

I have the version with a large screen not the wrist version. As i said they are great for covering a lot of water. Use it as if you are trotting a float down river it will show water depth, river bed ie weed and contours such as drop off's. You can find the shelves where river bed shallows up...
