    Bowood Lake Calne.

    Those right hand bank swims are exactly where I go Dave. My dad fished there as child (he's over 70 now) and always used to fish the bit where it's much narrower and looks more like a river. I've seen a few people head straight for these spots so maybe I'm missing something...There's a load of...

    Split shot advice

    I haven't bought any new split shot for years and am just wondering if there's something that you guys use that doesn't damage the line too much? Is the modern stuff better that the old (but legal) stuff I'm using? Also, I'm sure I've seen somewhere on social media something that looks like a...

    Bowood Lake Calne.

    I've been a member here on and off for 25 years or so. I've only ever really been interested in the tench and have had some fairly good catches. It's a stunning place even though in the last decade they've removed a load of the trees from one bank which I thought was a mistake. I used to...

    The Haven Fishery

    I haven't fished it for many years Bill (pre kids) so can't comment on barbel population. Claire and I used to camp on the Haven and loved the peace and quiet. It's really stunning. The Teme barbel are the hardest fighting fish I've ever caught. I'll never forget hooking one in front of a...
