Hi all, saw this today It's all so sad!

Testing the water really with this one, I am thinking about selling my 1.75lb Dark Carbon rod, this was made for me with burgundy whippings instead of the standard black (I have thing for this spec!). I has the SG Atlas SiC 20mm ring set and is in perfect condition. I have used is a few times...

Hi all, a bit of a left field question really, does anyone use a Skoda Yeti for fishing - just wondering it would hold 12ft rods? Looking for a smaller car as I am restricted by the parking I have and the Yeti's size looks great but not sure about the interior dimensions. Any advice welcome, thanks.

Hi, after a bit of advice on the Severn, we are visiting on Monday and Tuesday next week, having never fished the Severn before we have joined the BAA and plan to fish their stretch at Hampton Loade - any advice on this or recommendations as to an alternative stretch would be greatly...

Hi, after a bit of advice, looking to take my son and one of his friend (in their 20's) for a trip to the Trent, probably in September, again probably either Fiskerton or Collingham (not the weir!) as it has to be day ticket, neither have fished for barbel before and have limited experience want...

Hi, I was wondering if any one has any experience of this, my current brolly is coming to the end of its natural life and I am looking to replace it, the Fox one looks good but the price seems a little steep! Any advice welcome.

Hi - just having a Freespirit big water barbel custom built, having noticed that they do a quiver tip section for this, does anyone have any experience of this top section, basically is it worth the extra outlay? Also as a side, I noticed that the quiver tip section also fits the 1.75lb rod, so...

Hi - just curious has anyone ever tried sweet flavour baits for barbel?

Hi - just after peoples opinion as to the effectiveness of pellets in cold weather - most of the carp fisherman seem to stop using them, might be wrong but I think I read they don't break down as quick - could they cause harm? I know that I stop feed my koi in low temps.

Hi - strange post, the twist lock on my landing net handle has stopped working, it doesn't seem to come apart. Has anyone had the same problem and is there a solution other than another expensive handle! Thanks.

Hi - does anyone know what stretch of the Trent was being fished on Angling All Stars this week - not a fan of the program but the River looked great! Thanks.

Just joined the Verulam Club for the upcoming season, I know the old Lea at Fishers Green can carry some water after heavy rain (fished Kings Weir in flood many times) but how does the Lee around Wheathampstead handle extra water?

Hi, I know that this isa question that is asked time and time again but I can't find a thread to the answer! I am looking for a 15ft trotting rod capable of handling the odd barbel - has anybody tried the Greys Toreon Tactical Float Rod - seems a bargain at the moment - either seems to be that...

Hi, looking to try to get back on the Lea after many years away, anyone know of any day ticket stretches on the upper Lea? I will probably buy a season ticket that gives access to the Fishers Green stretch next season - but to many commitments already this season. Thanks in advance.
