Celebrity meat usually available in Morrisons is very firm, and a good one for Summer use. I fish a short hook link, 7" to 9", size 2 hook with a swivel that attaches to a quick link. Push a baiting needle through the meat, and hook on to the swivel, pull swivel through the meat and draw the...

4lb chub and 13lb 6oz carp from the Rother. Didn't hear of any Barbel out.

Back in those Saharan days of no rain, hose pipe bans, rivers drying up, and a heat wave in March we were all encoraged to pray for rain. Well it worked, the wetest April on record, and the environmental computer at my nursery recorded 18 hrs of continuous rain on Sunday night and Monday. It...

What ever is done now will be too little and too late. Action should have been taken 25 years ago when it may have been possible to slow it down. It is now just another import that we have to learn to live with like signal crayfish, mitten crabs, mink, western flower thrip, liriomiza...

Cliff, thats enough to fill Haningfield in 9 months!

1.3 billion lts a day are lost through leaks.

If not Otters what else would have dragged them up the bank and chewed big holes in them?

Sam I think you have answered your own question. Just checked the date, and safe as it was written yesterday.

Might be a bit far out, but Walton on Thames just above the bridge there is a large car park, and you just have to cross the road to be on some potential Barbel swims, and it is free fishing.

Hello Jim Should have gone to Specsavers. It is T S P not T C P, and the S stands for sodium as in salt (sodium chloride)

While fishing at Fishers Green a few years ago, believe it or not, I hooked a seymo bait dropper neatly through one of the holes, and I am still using it.

Jeys fluid would not control a virus. What you need is a solution of Tri Sodium Phoshate. Just wash the maggots in a bucket of TSP and job done, also give your HSE representative a spray down and that should reaasure her that you are taking their advice seriously. With all the talk of salt being...

Wayne, have a look at Ian Golds beach tripods. Colin
