    Small/ medium river fishing - wait or rove

    I remember speaking to an old boy on the Medway when I was younger. He said that he would sit in a swim all night, whilst some of the younger guys would rove up and down the stretch. He said that they tended to catch a similar amount and that, evidenced by his catch rate, the barbel just moved...

    11ft 2lb Torrix

    Morning I prefer an 11ft rod when fishing close in and/ or using a pin. I know people will say a ft doesn’t make any difference but I think it’s a nicer experience playing fish and handling the rod. In absence of an 11ft chimera 2 I am being drawn to the dark side. I’ve never used a Torrix...

    Avon rod - lightweight eye choice

    Morning all I’ve got a handful of custom made rods and have generally been very happy with them. However, I got an 11ft 1.25lb chimera built last year and it was a total clanger. I’m looking to change the eyes on it as I think what I’ve got is adversely affecting its action. I was...

    Hampshire Avon Roach

    Good evening all I would like to go for a days trotting on the Hampshire Avon with my dad at some point. Please could someone be kind enough to recommend a day ticket stretch that has reasonable access for someone with creaky knees and somewhere that would make us feel like we'd come to...

    Vorter air guides

    Just a post to say that based on my experience so far, I would whole heartedly not recommend these. About 10 days worth of fishing and the finish is disappearing to show the metal beneath. It looks like the line will just be running across a bit of stainless steel with a few more trips. I'm...

    Afternoon all Please could someone recommend an echosounder for using on a proper boat? Budget of about £200 and just want it to show depths, weed, snags etc. It would be good if could show streamer weed as well as thicker stuff. If it was possible to download data off it and produce maps...

    Tench 2024

    Afternoon all I had blagged 3 tench the other day (and night) all about 6lbs, I have to admit it was whilst carp fishing but sometimes there's not much difference between the two. If I was specifically after the tench I probably would have just shaved a bit off the tutti wafter and used a...
