    If you're going to get a T2, get a price from Future Fishing, I bought my T2 from there last year, they beat every other price by a long way!👍

    Water Company Dividends up £540m from last year...

    Nothing against her personally Jim, but she'll turn up somewhere else as CEO Jim! Bit like failed Football Managers!

    Night fishin the tidal trent.

    Girton is Scunthorpe AA/Newark Piscatorials. You need to be a member of SAA for 2 years before you can get a night permit, and Newark has closed external membership for this season. There is a small private stretch on Collingham you can book, think it's only a couple of swims called the Salmon...

    Water Company Dividends up £540m from last year...

    What's going on with Thames Water? They are in the sh1t, Their CEO has departed rather rapidly, apparently there's been emergency talks being held to secure it from collapsing with £14 Billion debt!

    River wye

    Try early mornings before it gets busy and late afternoon when it starts to quieten down! They're usual the best times to fish anyway.

    Korda kaptor curve shank

    The points on Korda Kamakuras are incredibly fine!

    Korda kaptor curve shank

    They've got a fine straight point so they may be prone to the points turning, get yourself a Jewellers Magnifying glass, about £4 off ebay and a hook sharpener and you can resharpen them, if they're not too bad!👍

    Wanted. Rod repairs

    There was a very good rod builder based at Fosters, now Angling Direct, Kingstanding, called Bob (Don't know his surname) it may be worth checking if he's still there

    Big fish kill Warks Avon. THOUSANDS DEAD FISH.

    My Sister's house backs onto the Birmingham-Stratford Canal, there's been a big fish kill there too! They raised the canal level, which has now dropped back to normal level. I assume it's EA have put 2 large aerator pumps just it from where she lives, but that will only benefit a very localised...

    Big fish kill Warks Avon. THOUSANDS DEAD FISH.

    Terrible news about the fish kill!😥 I did a couple of seasons on Barford a few years back, found it really tough on the Barbel front, similar to Wasperton. It's an easy excuse but I believe predation had a big affect!

    River wye

    £15 a day, tickets available from the Inn on the Wye, which is across the road from the river, one car park is almost directly opposite the pub, at the canoe launch, you can fish downstream from there. Downstream access is a bit further down the road. Look for faster water, Canoes can be a...

    Barbel Society Show Last Sunday 4th June

    I'm a member of the BS, rejoined 2 years ago after a gap of 20 odd years. There's 164 members on the BS Membership fb page, I think that says a lot about membership numbers, and it's perceived relevance now. I remember being a member pre social media days and before the explosion in barbel...

    Hinders Elips Pellets

    I've still got about a third of a bottle of Lamprey flavour, I have a sniff of it occasionally for nostalgia. The thing about Teme Severn baits was it gave you confidence. A while after Teme Severn ceased trading, Dave Mason started selling some of the range under his own name. I bought some for...
