The joy of fishing rivers Stephen, if they were always in the same area it would be boring and everybody would know where to catch them. I went to one of the clubs quieter areas today, no barbel but a 7-4 chub, all the more appreciated because it didn't come from where everybody is fishing.

Yes Ray, I know about the Royalty / Throop fish travelling but the one known as the "traveller" in the angling press was as you confirmed an Ouse fish. Lots of barbel travel , the Throop record was caught on beat3, beat2 and above Parley a distance of about 6 miles. A lot of smaller barbel...

Lots of areas that are underfished contain barbel that anglers don't publicise so they don't become overfished. Brian, I have a feeling that the "traveller" was an Ouse fish not one that was caught on the Avon and Stour, sure Ray will be able to confirm.

No peg points on Daiwa.

Unusual you buying spares mate!!!!!!!.

Never found a need for centrepins, can do all and more with closed face for float fishing and fixed spool for ledgering.

Thanks Bob, your rods do work.

Dave Just to add that I took no offence at all regarding the comments you made about my fish and fully understood what you meant.

Really sorry to hear that Nigel, anything you report on can be taken as 100% genuine and that is the belief of all that know you. Many thanks for the congratulations on my fish, I'm certainly not an expert at photographs, I very rarely take photos being more concerned with getting the fish...

Signed and shared on RDAA forum.

That's the businesses that are still open, look at the high streets to see how wonderful everything is.

Great project HS2 if we had loads of money and it couldn't be spent better elsewhere. The idea behind it is that people from the North can travel quicker to where the jobs are, misses the point that people want jobs in the area where they live. As for taxing the rich is counter productive...

Don't see where I live has anything to do with it, I obviously didn't realise that it was "the clowns" who caused the global economy to fall. I thought it was the banks that weren't regulated enough by labour and am obviously mistaken when thinking that the tories wanted them deregulated more...

Oh isn't it good news, another 5 years of austerity, especially for the poor.

Tony If you are after a new defender you will have to be quick as they aren't making them , being replaced by new model. There are a few in the dealers for sale.

You're right about a devil.

Try your local tackle shop, the ones in this area (Bournemouth) have weights to check scales. They us them to verify the scales for entering specimens for RDAA trophies.

Yes still open and apparently full until the end of the season.

Ricky Optilabs are expensive but worth the investment, you only need one pair as the ultra 2000 adjust to suit light setting and very quickly. I have them with bi-focal lenses which enables me to read without removing and putting on another pair of glasses. Best polaroids I have ever used and...

Merry christmas from me. My best present was a few hours on Throop in glorious sunshine this afternoon (wife working). No barbel but 3 chub to 5-8, thoroughly enjoyable.
