    Some early morning mist under the distant Dudsbury bank ,.. D.Stour. It’s a favourite view of mine and harbours so many good memories.

    Lightweight quiver and backpack.

    Interesting thread about an essential piece of gear for river anglers but I’m surprised that I’ve not seen much about how quivers balance when loaded. Maybe I missed it as I do need some new specs.😁 To answer the o/p I’d suggest the Korum 2 rod quiver which will take the Korum River brolly in...

    Another tackle shop going

    Very poignant film Phil. It brought back the reverence l had for that iconic shop and venue,… as well as Throop etc. After all,.. I ended up moving house because the love was so strong!

    Misty start on the D.Stour captured this past week. Nice of the fox to provide a focal point of interest.🙂🦊📸

    Giant rods

    Whatever the blank I’ve got a soft spot for that rod, It’s caught me some wonderful fish over the years. I lost the whipped-on isotope with a wrap-round ages ago but it keeps on keeping on.🙂

    Wading/Trotting Net

    I’ve been using a Wychwood Rover net for the past 9 years which isn’t bad. Teardrop frame 22” wide,.. extends to 7’. I brought it in D.Tackle Christchurch. Didn’t like the netting as I thought it too shallow so Nigel fitted a deeper net in the shop. It has a belt clip which could also be...

    One for the North Western aficionados?

    Hi guys,.. it’s freezing and the rivers are over the banks again so I’ve spent a bit of time trying to find some info on a favourite rod that I’ve had since I brought it from a work mate some 30 odd years ago,…. ( retirements such a wonderful thing!) The rod is an 11’ Rodcraft North Western...

    Giant rods

    I recall a similar question being posted on here back around 2018 Peter,… maybe worth checking the archives. It was rumoured that some were built on Harrison blanks but nothing definitive was forthcoming on that particular thread. I’ve still got the Giant MB Ouse barbel that I brought donkeys...

    I’ll look into opening a YT account Derek,… once I’ve got my technophobic head around the do’s and don’ts!😁

    Ah,.. being charged by the Sopley bull 😂 Just to think I’d been reassuring club members that he was an old softy before ending up soaked, muddied and a quivering wreck!😂😂

    This thread is about river scenes so I don’t post riverbank wildlife pics that often but I do try to include something interesting in a scene if I can. People often ask how close I get for some of the wildlife image’s I’ve taken,… I usually show them this pic of a fox gazing at its reflection...
