    Would you ban the use of braid?

    Hi Chaps , I would just like to add that braid has no stretch at all and because of this my personal opinion is that it could cause other trauma to barbel / carp as they are such hard fighting fish , whereas mono has some degree of shock asorption as it stretches as the fish runs . Now if you...

    An alternative viewpoint?

    Hi Chaps , its very strange how over the years i evolved into an accomplished match angler , winning matches on the trent by fishing stick float with castor, hemp and bronze maggots , then after the decline in the rivers at the beginning of the nineties i turned to pole fishing on commercials...

    Don't what ever you do

    Adrian , this is why we should have our voice heard , its time to question why the closed season is allowed to continue in its current format ! years ago the yorkshire closed season ran from 16/ 02 until 01/06 , nobody argued when it was changed and it had zero impact on fish stocks ! maybe it...

    Don't what ever you do

    Hi Trevor , the weather is just a excuse ! the truth is that fish will spawn up to three times a year , there will never be a perfect or ideal situation , therefore we as a body of anglers should ask for a compromise .

    Perch

    Hi , Quite a few years ago I managed to land a brace of Perch at 7 lbs 12 oz from swarkstone on the trent , Both fish were caught while reeling in very small roach on the stick float and came within ten minutes of eachother , I remember both fish put up a hell of a fight on light gear ! On the...

    What to do??

    The Sharpness canal in Gloucester always manages to draw me to its banks , It holds shoals of bream , large perch and some large very wild carp that nobody targets, so its got to be worth a try !
