i found these online, would hope they would be very good for the price - anyone had experience of this company ? https://www.ollyskins.com/products/ollyskins-2908-neoprene-angling-thigh-wader?srsltid=AfmBOorSCnyv8oJmqR9LgcI6VHALKpFcXFaWv_eweTA2YFxCMOY367zC

looks like the Daiwa ones are no longer available ?

quick update.. looks like they don't make Procours anymore, its Truite now.

thanks for the recommendation Ian, I'll take a look.

So my current waders have split and are leaking. I've ordered a repair kit but meantime I want to get another pair of neoprene waders which I used to have a few years back and having been through about 3 pairs of rubber ones since I much prefer the neoprene. So can anyone recommend a decent pair...

I always wear shorts with waders, never really had problems over heating.

"The massive uptake in interest and desire to catch barbel from our rivers" .... is this true ?

Andrew, I use them all the time when feeder fishing, I think the contents empty on hitting the surface and dropping through the water and finally when on the bottom, of course this will vary depending on depth and flow. Bottom line is they work !

I agree Steve, Ive tried combi rigs periodically (including this season) and never found them an improvement.

Adam, try using a 4 turn water knot, very easy to tie and a nice neat finish.

not as good as the Drennans but perfectly acceptable for the price, i do have both

done

nor me !! G, if your white Stradics get dirty send them to Mr Isaacs for a service, the come back like new !

i still have 4 rear drag white stradics, love them

one day on the Wye I was getting small taps and vibrations on the rod tip but no bites. I ended up going down to a single 4mm banded on a 16 and started catching immediately, literally one a cast for the next hour. I was using 3mm and 4mm pellets in the feeder and assume they got preoccupied on...

Kevin, its simple really, there are so few barbel left its not worth the effort unless you just want to sit and admire the surroundings, which I still do.

I also watch match videos (Clive Branson) and I enjoy watching someone fish, not just catch, so for me the longer videos are better than edited highlights. I suppose you could do both ? Keep up the good work Ian.

Hi Keith, Trimpley is a good stretch but its a long walk down a steep hill, the one back is worse ! My personal favourite is Arley as you can fish both banks up and downstream but tbh wherever you go there will be barbel and chub, just keep moving if you are not catching would be my advice...

Hi Keith, i assume you'll be travelling up and staying overnight ? all of the middle Severn beats are worth go, a lot depends on the river levels when you come, time of year etc. Summer is def the busiest time and you'll see all the swims are well fished. If you let us know what you're planning...

me too !
