I posted about this a couple of years back. There were some interesting and insightful theories in reply.

Tides4fishing.com works for me.

Two for me from the H Avon but only fished ten days this year due to distance however only two weeks away from my end of season trip. Can’t wait !

Done mate, thanks.

I reached the same conclusion about five years ago and now take rod, landing net and a waistcoat of terminal items plus light weight scales. I don’t even take a chair these days preferring to cover many swims and never spending more than 15 to 20 minutes before moving on. I never loose feed...

Thanks Andy for the best forum on the web. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and everyone who uses the site. Tight lines in the new year to all.

Thought I recognised it, thanks mate. Not fished there for a good few years now and never did get around to a promised pike trip after I was tipped off about a 30 plus beauty some years ago. Tight lines.

Sorry above the Shaws arms.

Is that the Church Deeps section below the Shaws Arms Gary ?

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt !

Davies tackle in Christchurch are still doing their Avon specials and Avon special stepped up rods according to their website. They also have the four piece on there but currently are not accepting internet orders unfortunately.

Found it ! Truncated article from the editorial from ANGLING - June1963. Price: 2s 6d. Reproduced on RDAA forum a while ago. THE latter part of this article may seem to be fantastic. But it is fact, and several residents in River Way and Hurn Way, two miles west of Christchurch, will not forget...

I seem to remember a story about one being hooked in the mill pond at Throop mill on the D stour in the early 1900s.

Funnily enough I tidied my garage last weekend having recently acquired a lock up to store my boat in and as part of that activity I bought a rod storage rack to store my rods in both with and without reels attached in necessary. Therefore I know exactly what I have and the list is as follows in...

I almost envy some of you guys. My fishing time is limited to two or three full weeks a season on the D Stour and the H Avon with the very occasional local trip for mini tench and crucians and a day or two each winter trying to catch the almost impossible pike in Esthwaite. I don’t ever lose my...

ESP Cryogen for me as well in all sizes. Switched to them when ESP replaced their original curve shanks with them.

Well done to all who posted. A very enjoyable close season read and makes me a little nostalgic. When I was a boy I spent a lot of seasons chasing tench on the Royal ponds around Richmond and Hampton court with the occasional foray into Hampshire. Have been living near Preston for over twenty...

The same two as Dave C above for me. Been fishing them for over forty years now and usually catch something decent on my three or four week long trips per year. On the Avon syndicate in particular there are some huge barbel and chub although they are not easy.

Picked up the Rapidex from PO tonight Rob. Lovely little reel and as you said “minted”. Cheers mate.

I’ll pm you my address.
