And yet in contrast to your experience Alex, most regulars on the Dorset Stour would tell you that it rarely fishes well on a rising river but fishes well once it has levelled off, that said, the tidal is not as much effected by a rising river as the tide raises the level naturally twice a day...

Forgot to add, you can get it in various colours from Hobbycraft😉

Just purchased one of these, adjusted the position of the storm caps to suit my needs but other than that a brilliant product at (currently on sale) a decent price ;) https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/korum-50-graphite-brolly-shelter

Some examples pre lead being added😉they are surprisingly robust but if snagged will come away😉 the left hand one shows the staples used to connect together 😉

I used to fish the river Weser in Germany which presented many of the problems the Trent does but on a bigger scale. My solution was as a result of my wife loving crafts, she used this product and I immediately saw it's potential...

Hi Danny Can you possibly provide some photos and information eg age , condition, price including postage or if anywhere near Dorset, location? Thanks Keith

I'm not familiar with the Swale but if it's mainly a gravel bottom and not too rocky I would use a running back lead, shorten the hook length to about 12-18" and fish the conditions, i.e. only target Barbel when the conditions are right for them e.g. if coloured water, fish when air pressure is...

Hi Paul Out of interest, which rivers do you fish? I only ask as it may temper my answer to your dilemma.

Some interesting theories and opinions ;) I mainly fish the Dorset Stour and Hants Avon (both very weedy in Summer and Autumn) and rarely use a hook length longer than 12" in the Summer / Autumn due to weed but even in winter wouldn't go more than 2ft. My summer presentation always involves...

WANTED (Long shot I know ) Has anyone got a Harrison 11' Avon 1.6 TC loitering in a tackle shed needing a partner? I have recently purchased one and would like to pair it up if possible so if anyone has one they would be willing to sell please let me know what you want for it

What base mix G?

Well done Mr McGough, yet another belter, top dangling 👍

Bargain, I need new handles for my Harrisons anyone know anyone near Poole who can do the job?

How much did that job cost Robert?

Hasn't he tried to get it replaced FOC since it was clearly badly constructed?

Never met him but corresponded on here via PM a few times and always found him very friendly and helpful, a sad loss to the Barbel fishing community.

Or simply tie a back to back 5 turn Grinner ;)

I reckon your right you grumpy old sod, I find it very uplifting (although Bob's fishing ability is non existent and therefore irritating) just light hearted "Twaddle" but still entertaining ;)

I have a similar invitation and hope it is still extended? Will hopefully find out soon 😁
