    Is it me? Is it real?

    Guys, I think you're all arguing about different things. Clearly, there is *something* out there that many eye-witnesses have seen over the years. But, that's not the same as irrefutable evidence that these beasts can survive/thrive in a wild environment. It is reasonable to claim "there...

    Ousemeisters Barbel Challenge 2015 -10th Anniversary

    As usual, a top day out. As usual, I wished it hadn't been a year since the last time I went fishing. :( Thanks to Mike for organising and providing the prizes. Can I suggest we adjourn to The Mended Drum in Huby next year :D R.

    Fish killer - a surprising culprit, you say?

    FWIW, I like otters, and love seeing them on the river bank. I do, however, think it's just stupid to introduce too many to an environment that is not able to support them, as seems to be happening all over the country. R.

    Fish killer - a surprising culprit, you say?

    The only "Dave" on this thread seems to be David Gauntlett, whose post you quoted in your reply. I've read both his posts and am struggling to see any politics in either of them, "Lefty" or otherwise. *shrug* R.

    Ousemeisters Barbel Challenge 2015 -10th Anniversary

    Just went out to sort my gear ready for Saturday and found it just as I put it away after last year's Challenge, except... ... Mr Mouse has been nesting in my tackle bag and taken all the foam out of the lining into a bait box (chewed through the lid) to make a nest. So, looks like I'll be...

    Keith Speer

    I didn't know Keith but I enjoyed his writing, especially regarding catching barbel on the float. I've not been a regular on here for a long time, but I happened to be reading a few threads recently and I remember reading some of Keith's comments and thinking how well he came across. I think...

    Ousemeisters Barbel Challenge 2014

    BTW, how's the river looking? Any water in? Am about to board the delayed BA0286 from SFO to LHR. I think I might bring a dog stake on Saturday to save me when I fall asleep and topple in the Ouse! R.
