Hi Guys, fishing the river in flood over the last few months I realise my existing tackle really wasn't up to the task. I would like to get a dedicated flood rod and was wondering if anyone had the Harrison 11ft 6in Snag and Flood rod gathering dust they were prepared to sell. Thanks

The river Nidd yesterday carrying 10ft of water.

I had the 1:75/2:25 rod and can confirm they aren’t compatible.

David, such beautifully craft rod rest and bobbin. Made by your own hand?

The wonderful river Nidd.

Trotting is my preferred technique for barbel, well any fish really. My approach is not subtle. Power float rod, mine is a Harrison GTI SU 13 foot, but I have used a Drennan carp waggler and a Shakespear Mach 3 Power Float 13 foot 6 inch which was stolen, a great rod that comes up occasionally...

Had a session in streamy water catching dace on the stick. Made we realise I can still catch fish!!

Good point Jon. Maybe we should look more at line diameter, as fly fishers do, rather than breaking strain.

I have been doing a lot of trotting for barbel, but often catching chub as you do, with 6lb straight through if I using a hook at 8 or above with lob worm as bait or Kamasan Animal to nylon in sizes 10, 12 to 5lb and 14 to 4lb. No problem landing barbel to over 6lbs. I would not want to be...

It will almost certainly be the Nidd. I walked the banks of two extensive fisheries the other week checking out various swims which can cope with a variety of conditions, even took some photos to help me find them again. However the late spring may mean the nettles and balsam will not be head...

I've fished alot for chub on the float this season on a small, low, clear river.For what it's worth I've used a 2 swan shot clear Drennan loafer shotted with AAs about a foot from the hook with 4lb line straight through to a size 10 Drennan speciman hook. I've caught fish in 18 inches of...

I have two pins, Okuma Sheffield which I use for trotting for chub and grayling mainly, superb reel, and an Lewthams Blue Magnum which I picked up in a sale at my local tackle shop at 50% off. It is the wide spool version at 1" wide, great for legering with a rachet like a car alarm. Not the...
