I guess there is the slim possibility Neil that it was cats spawning ?? I was fishing a relatively shallow area for the lower, so if there are a quantity of them around I guess it could of been? Do find it hard to believe tho...

Hi Jeff I considered the catfish, but I feel it was doubtful as at one point there were two happening simultaneously - one upstream and one 30 yards downstream - much as I don't doubt their presence I don't honestly believe they are around in those numbers. I discounted salmon as they...

After the sun goes down and the bats have woken up, when the sounds of passers by and traffic have faded out and the sounds of the night have settled in - I find myself, as I'm sure you do listening for evidence of fish moving. There's the thrash of a predator ploughing into unsuspecting fry...

Uv400 is the level of protection against uv light. These days all reputable sunnies carry adequate uv protection, this in no way affects the vision through the lenses though. Polarised lenses eliminate reflected glare. Here is a website that describes how they work far better than I can...

Maui jims I'd also agree that brown is best. Whilst a grey lens distorts colour less and is technically a more accurate filter, a brown lens will enhance the red part of the spectrum making fins and float tips easier to pick out. In my opinion a brown lens is also much nicer to look through...

where are you thinking Graham?

I'll take them matt

Is the nene not worth a mention in the list?

£31.50 to be exact.

I paid 30 something quid and they arrived in 4 days. No complaints from me...

Mine arrived yesterday, thanks for the heads up

Nice idea this poll m'larky I vote Trent. I'd love to vote Severn, but unless some serious time is dedicated to the tidal reaches I cant see it. Warks Avon would be my each way bet though... again so underfished in places, something big could be lurking down there somewhere

I'd appreciate your thoughts. When I approach a swim I try to be as stealthy as possible so as not to spook the fish... who doesn't right? The other day I was fishing the wye. I slipped quietly into position and carefully cast my light lead in with as little disturbance as possible. Just...

Shaun, that's more than I normally catch in a season!!! I think I need some pointers

Cheers guys... ive now been in touch with a few of the people suggested. After speaking to harrison directly, I think I'll send it directly to then for them to supply a replacement top section, the only negative is its gonna take 4 weeks!!! Still good things come to those who wait I'm assured....

Neil.... Those mushrooms on the bankside.... your not eating them again are you??

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I have refitted the tip ring to the top of the broken section for now and to be fair it doesn't seem that bad. That said, I will be contacting Harrison for a new section I think.... it just niggles me when it's sat in the rest next to the perfect one! Chris

It's only half a mile from where the big cat came out last time, so not really that unbelievable to think it was a cat

I see no argument for narrow gape hooks.... Except for Pauls that is!

Cheers guys
