I get your point but NOBODY has EVER been attacked in the UK as far as I am aware. Plus, pet dogs are taken by big cats where they exist. Again , I have never heard anyone complain that their pet had been attacked or killed….. You may have seen photo’s or reports of this? G.T.

Incidentally, a ‘big cat’ would easily attack and kill a human as they do regularly in other countries….. G.T.

Hi Joe, My dog can scent a dead deer from 400yards. I imagine a fox has much more attuned instincts. I didn’t suggest predation btw, foxes will quickly strip a carcass of meat. G.T.

A fully grown dead deer will be a skeleton in under a week. It’s foxes mate.👍 G.T.

Just a thought……if you are thinking of a change try using two rods with different baits. You will soon see a fishy preference and that will give you confidence in it . Confidence in a bait is ‘half the battle’ in my opinion. G.T.

Well, I believe Bittern are in very localised areas and if you went there you would see or hear them. Wild ‘big cats’ have been reported all owner the country. A bit like ‘ I saw ‘Elvis’ in my chip shop last night…..🤦‍♂️ G.T.

Hi Neil, There have been ‘sightings’ of big cats all over the country for many years. If animals like pumas live about 12 years why haven’t any dead ones been found? G.T.

Where are the dead bodies of the big cats that eventually die? G.T.

Yes, get out there Simon but take care, my ‘new’ knee has affected my balance considerably. I popped out to the ‘Lower’ a couple of days ago on a scouting trip and nearly fell in as my dodgy knees gave way as I scrambled down a steep bank. Good luck, G.T.

Old age… My June 16th last year… In the morning my gear was assembled in the garage for an evening session… Dinner time I developed a severe pain in my stomach… Evening I was in an ambulance on my way to hospital… Diagnosed as Appendicitis… ‘We can’t operate Mr T. It’s too close to your last...

Here’s my top 5 ( in no particular order ): Elite Barbel..Tony Miles Casting at the Sun.. Chris Yates A line on the Water..Stephen Harper A Dream of Jewelled Fishes..John Aston Red Letter Days.. various authors ( This ‘lives’ in my loo ! ).😵‍💫 G.T.

Forgive my curiosity but why were you there? If you are related to the royal family then please forgive my impudence.😳 G.T.

Well done Rich, thanks for sharing your photo with us, G.T.👍

👍

Thanks for your replies. I haven’t fished her for over 20 years after the Barbel stocks declined dramatically . It is good news that some of you guys are still enjoying the fishing and any barbel landed here is an event to get the heart racing. I must get myself down there before the season...

Hi Guy’s, Excuse my ignorance but is fishing the Teme for Barbel these days a realistic proposition? Not discounting it would still be a lovely place to fish in any case? G.T.

Don’t give up yet Martin. It’s the close season and people on here sometimes appear to suffer from ‘withdrawal symptoms’ and are a little ‘out of sorts’. All forums are simply an exchange of opinions and nobody agrees with all of them. You are right, without contributions this forum will end...

JRM is a seriously weird individual in some respects but he has at least said ‘the unsayable’ here so I am not going to decry him for that. G.T.

Maybe, but he is the only politician I have heard actually say this. G.T.

Now look what you started!😂 G.T.
