    Evening gents, Just wondering if any of you have fished The Frome in the centre of Dorchester ? It looks the part and from what I can gather is free fishing ?? Not after any specifics, just a heads up as to whether it’s worth a go !? Any help greatly received 😊 Walked it with the GF earlier...

    Angling crossroads.

    What people don’t always get is just how physically and mentally draining it can be living with such a problem ! When it takes all your concentration and effort to even walk on a cobbled street without doing yourself a mischief, it becomes hard work. If I have to walk down steep hills I actually...

    Angling crossroads.

    Simon, It's a problem which I am all too familiar with myself (although I've 'only' had 6 surgeries on mine !). My knees have seriously curtailed my fishing over the last few years, the limited choice of venues amplifies my general lack of mojo, especially considering my favourite local stream...

    8mm thread to 3/8 bsf adapter for landing net

    The thing is Rich, that doesn’t come comfortably or naturally to a lot of people…….. Engineers are a different breed. Even then some of us are naturally cautious, some have a very ‘gung ho’ attitude to things (believe me I’ve worked with both). Putting some of the best ‘hands on’ engineers I’ve...

    8mm thread to 3/8 bsf adapter for landing net

    I appreciate that, but if you 'know' someone or know someone who knows someone, then its something most of the guys I've worked with could make easily in in their lunchtimes and would happily do so to help someone out. Maybe I've just been lucky with the people I know ? I've made them in the...

    Personally I think that you'd be better off finding someone to knock you up an adaptor.........

    Prolonged heat

    Agreed Hatter, it’s all become a little tiresome to read now !! Can we just let it lie now please gents 🙏

    Prolonged heat

    Shall we just leave it there please gents ??? Agree to disagree and let common sense prevail here and regarding the fishing ?? Descending into insults and bickering doesn’t do any favours to anyone 😊

    Barbel Groundbaits

    Never felt the need to use anything other than scalded pellet in all honesty !! If you get it right, it’s like groundbait anyhow……… I’m a simple soul, when I can sight fish on a smaller river, I’ve either fed by hand or used a PVA mesh filled with pellets (nicked onto the hook) or ‘bombed’ a...

    The Method

    Exactly how I used to fish it Dan !!
  18. Paul Matthews

    The Method

    Yes, used it quite a bit on a small river in the past as it made it easy to place a bait in some tight spots. It was pretty effective and as you would imagine, the bites were pretty ferocious !!
