It seems my worst fears were justified. I just can’t understand How the people that do this to our rivers sleep at night.

Agreed, i've not been there but I just checked OS Maps and it's the Ogwen.

Derby Railway Angling Club are worth a look, they have a stretches a few miles downstream from Burton and you can pay a bit extra to get a night tight ticket.

If you are thinking of a species change then i would highly recommend treating yourself to the excellent Fallon's angler magazine. It's very much a magazine for the all rounder and the quality of the writing is superb, catching the essence of angling rather than the how to do it, proper...

My dad gave me his old grass hook recently. It looks like a good tool for the job.

Thanks, sounds like a micro torch or turbo flame lighter will be the way to go

OK got you Rich. I'll see if I can figure out what is needed and where to get them and get back to you.

Thanks for the info Bob, very useful. I'll let you know how I get on. Sounds like I'm best to wait until after the 16th just in case things don't go to plan.

Yes, fingers crossed @Bob Gill will be along with some advice for me. I figured I'd post rather than trouble Bob directly in case any one else had been in the same pickle. Rich are you still doing reel repairs? I have a Adcock Stanton that could do with a new bearing.

God knows how, but somehow I've gone and cracked the isotope on my ipower. Has anyone got any tips on how best to remove and replace it.

I came across a cheap second hand 11ft Acolyte carp waggler yesterday and couldn't resist so I now have a perch option. It should work quite well I think and could double for trotting for chub on smaller rivers. I'm still tempted with a Darent valley .75lb so I have a second rod. Thanks for all...

I'm planning on targeting Perch more this coming season so im thinking of getting new rods and wondered if you guys have any recommendations mostly for ledgering with worms and prawns. I've done a bit of reading up and options I've come up with so far are -Drennan specialist twin tip duo 1lb...

Sent you a message Adam

I wish you had mentioned the flood and snag yesterday Adam!!

I'll take the 2lb torrix please Adam

I think Burton Mutual are open for members again

Is it just the standard one you use for repairs Neil?

They are good Rich as are the grubs version which you can usually can usually pick up a little cheaper. I get through them quickly walking the dog, they usually start to perish after a year or so. Hence the move to jack pyke this time.

Jack Pyke ankle wellies are really good for spring / autumn and very cost effective

Dammit I've gone and ordered a new flask that I didn't even suspect that I needed before reading this thread. Still at least it's cheaper than most of the other purchases I've made following late night bfw visits.
