    Floats

    Received my batch this morning too. They are excellent and I will endeavour to put them to good use in the coming months. Quality product at a sensible price and with great service too - perhaps you should go into business Andy! Dave

    Angling Direct

    Received a sale email today after nothing at all since the ‘hack’. Is it safe to assume that their website issues have been resolved, as this is the first communication I have received since that was first advised? Dave

    If Only

    The well known syndicate on the middle Hants Avon that I am fortunate enough to be a member of, provided the fees don’t increase too much! A magical place that combines excellent fishing with glorious surroundings, stunning wildlife and peace and quiet that you don’t get at many venues these...

    One could ask how you got on there to take that shot, unless it’s from winter when the sunrise is much later? My club book states that fishingcommencs at 07:30 and night fishing is only allowed above the top (Great) weir. Am I missing something? Dave

    Whats this i see in the bristol avon 😁

    Neil, Given that beavers were once native to this country, in what way do you think that our countryside may not be viable in supporting them? Is that because of the intensive farming, population growth, pollution or some other reason? Dave

    Threads about "furry animals etc"

    Fully agree. Apart from anything else, such threads tend to become monsters, which can’t make life easy for the admin team. Dave

    Records list updated

    Bit worried about the capture date for the Worc Stour fish. 23 March 2021. Some mistake surely!

    Angling Trust

    Worth adding your support too. Just complete your email address and submit. Only takes a few seconds and the more that do, the more weight behind the proposal for the Government to take note of.

    Rob, What are the end tackle and components that you want to clear? Dave

    Fishing officially permitted

    Stretching a point there, Jon. According to Google, I can get from my house to Ringwood in 17 minutes but I would not call that local to me, just outside Southampton. It is fairly clear from the Government COVID regulations that local is meant to mean within a short distance from your home, as...

    Other side of town from me Jon, so a non starter. Dave

    Fishing officially permitted

    Well, we obviously now know that local is less than 5 miles in the eyes of the police... As I live near Southampton, I shan’t be fishing the HA or the Dorset Stour until the lockdown is relaxed but can still fish a couple of lakes and a stretch of a small river that are within a mile of my...

    Fishing officially permitted

    Thanks for that Rob. Unfortunately, I can’t see your idea catching on as there are too many selfish individuals in our sport who would never give up their pastime for the greater good. Don’t forget that to some, COVID is a hoax so why should they be bothered..... Society today, eh☹️☹️

    Close season

    Plenty of natural food available in most rivers, including fry and minnows which undoubtedly form part of the barbel’s diet in the spring. Dave
