    Aldi and the close season

    Nothing wrong here, the text implies you can land some amazing fishing bargains during the Easter holidays and head off for a riverbank escape. It does not say *when* that escape should be or if you should specifically fish when you get there, or if you did what type of fishing it should be...

    Chair or not?

    I always take a very light weight chair as my other hobby is sleeping. There are no fish in my local river and I am a **** angler anyway. Sleeping solves a lot of issues for me...

    Drennan

    I would tend to agree with that, perhaps that's why it went for six years without a failure! Could be also because it does not see many fish? :(

    Drennan

    I know this has been mentioned in other threads I could not find but the other day whilst on the bank the internal bush of my Super Specialist decided to crack. Called Drennan who dispatched a new one FOC, and it was with me the next day. Now that is excellent service in anyones book :)

    Phoned the EA today

    A couple of weeks ago some guys were seen fishing a well known stretch of water on the Hants/Berks border and the society member called the EA. They informed him they were leaving immediately ETA 20 minutes. Shame the guys got wind of it and made their escape. That was at the weekend as well...

    Global Warming

    Well Damian, since records began what other comparison is there? What we have now are conflicting suggestions and theories without any proper frame of accurate reference to compare to. So we are acting on "educated" guesses and "rough" data. Might be enough for you but it is not for me. As...

    Global Warming

    But it is not overwhelming and it should be debated about how much of it is factual. It is used as mentioned in this thread as a stick to beat people with and extract money from. 100 years of data for a planet that is 5 billion years old is the proverbial drop in the ocean. Yes we "may" be...

    Global Warming

    Exactly. The planet is 4.5 billion years old and we are being fed scare stories based on 100 years of data.

    How many rods do you own?

    New BFW Menu system

    In Chrome the titles and menus are very erratic, seems almost random as to when they might work

    Baby milk

    Yes and try explaining that to your missus when the baby is screaming the house down as there is no milk left, but your sneaking out the door with 300 boilies in your rucksack. Let me introduce you to another concept. Possessions in black bag at end of driveway :D

    River Frays Barbel?

    Ah yes, same for me, perhaps that was you in my favourite swim?! :D

    River Frays Barbel?

    Thanks Dave, have not fished there in many moons but yes a very good fish for the stretch.

    River Frays Barbel?

    Did anyone notice in the press last week a 12Ib 6oz Barbel caught from the Frays in Uxbridge? Used to fish there years ago but never heard of any Barbel there....until now!

    serious walking boots

    For walking/Hiking I have used a pair of Scarpa Rangers since 2007, so almost 5 years old and many thousands of KM on the clock ( I do 10-20 KM most weeks ) mixture of terrains, I would say they are about half way through the life cycle and still keeping water out. Then again I have looked after...

    Birmingham Anglers Association

    I am totally in favour of night fishing for many of the reasons stated before here. In my experience as an angler and a bailiff there is no extra pressure on a river as people will fish when they want to and not have to cram it in to fixed hours. Night fishing is a different discipline and...

    Self take camera

    I have a G12 and setting the self timer is very easy. It is the bottom of the back control dial. You then choose delay time for the shots to begin so from zero to 30 second delay and then you choose the amount of shots you want from 1 to 10. So for example set for a 20 second delay and 10...
