As you say Robert, otters have always been on the Stour but were NEVER seen swimming past people without fear in the middle of the day and NEVER in the numbers now being seen.

Nothing new there Terry!.

Once again wrong Damian, what you should have said is the ONLY barbel you heard of from the Ivel were big ones the small ones weren't reported same as on nearly all other rivers. I fished the Ivel , you didn't but once again you appear to be the expert on these things.

Just to clarify common sense does prevail regarding the 15 minutes rule, we have no issues with barbel being retained for longer to recover and the bailiffs are aware of this. We DO have issues with barbel being retained for over an hour until someone arrives to photograph it, it is the clubs...

Latest "Angling Trust staff have been working hard over the weekend to ensure that angling in England can continue during the forthcoming lockdown. Unlike golf and tennis the government have not asked fisheries to close and their announcement and guidance makes clear that outdoor recreation at...

Great question Mike.

I still subscribe to them both, with my edition this week there was no news on it finishing, let's see if the news is in next weeks.

Sad, wonder if Angling Times will go the same way.

£14 or £14-50 a day, off by 22-30.

It won't stop him writing something controversial again, he would have had a proof to approve before they went to print.

Correct Alex, on a lot of our river sections members can fish (with night permit) until 23-30 until end of October and 22-00 from 1st November until end of season, some stretches can be night fished. You are correct in that it depends how the committee is made up, I like to think that Ringwoods...

I know Pete well and I'm happy for him to fish in daylight, that's his choice, he should be happy for people to fish when they want as long as it is legal . Apart from my trips to the Wye this season I have only fished my local waters 5 times this season, Pete fishes them nearly every day, in 3...

The RH 7000 are brilliant the 9000 not so good, I have both and only use the 9000's when I am not expecting anything special or when getting rid of weight from bag. I check them regularly against RH dial scales and both are accurate. I tried a set of Fox digitals in a shop and weighed a heavy...

Hi Graham Have heard about your exploits on the syndicate, my spies are about!!!!

I have a canon gx7, bought over 4 years ago and still haven't taken a photo of a fish with it - one day!

Hope it has gone by beginning of July when I have a week booked, last year the water looked like malt vinegar and it definitely affected the fishing.

Nowhere near as many barbel caught as 15 years ago, cormorants an issue and otters were a major problem but has got better over the last few years.

NOT a local decision Graham, I have confirmed with them that the stocking policy is national and that is what I am disputing it with. They are having to provide the information regarding all the stocking that have taken place and the reasons they were allowed. Chris Guy, they aren't saying...

Doesn't hold water as far as Dorset Stour is concerned as we stocked 1500 in 2014 and the EA stocked 12000 at Blandford in the 90's.

Nothing to do with game fishers, none on Throop or anywhere else on the Dorset Stour.
