River Loddon at sunset

This one has made me go all dreamy !

It would be so easy for a vet to dart it with a sedative, load it into the back of a truck, and take it back to the coast, and release it with all its mates, where i'm pretty sure it would be much happier, a few beaters would be enough to scare it away from the river to stop it escaping until...

Fantastic Mate ! well done, what a fish ! :eek:

Ditto that !

I hear what you're saying Rich, and i'm with you 100% , But whilst we can do our bit, and put it in the recycle bin...(of which a lot apparently doesn't get recycled) ... the mere fact we keep buying the stuff perpetuates the problem, but who would be the first to say i'm refusing to buy any...

Apparently it was 1907 - 111 years ago plastic was first invented we've been sliding towards the point we are now ever since, it'll take at least that long to claw our way out of it ... if governments of the world are determined enough to see it through, but like so many things threatening our...

I have 6000's and 8000's Neil ... and Wychwood specimen barbel 1.75's :), i find them entirely satisfactory, though some might consider them a bit hefty,... the reels that is, it's a personal choice i guess, you certainly wont be under gunned the set up will land the biggest Barbel that...

Oops sorry Wayne a typo ! yes it's a 4 rod quiver, i've got three rod on the brain cos of my old Wychwood that was a 3 rod, the rod butt pockets on the NGT are smaller, the quiver itself is pretty much the same size as my old Wychwood in all other respects, but the build quality 'feels' better...

NGT 3 rod quiver houses my Fox specialist brolly with room to spare in the main compartment, long pocket takes 3 long banksticks, but would comfortably take six, short pocket takes 4 short bank sticks plus my machete, and my landing net in either pocket, two made up rods in the outer butt...
