I use the Gardner Roving Specialist Rod Sling for my Fox specialist brolly. It fits perfectly.

A couple of my largest barbel were caught from a very silty area only about three foot from the bank, in a back eddy slack. I kind of found the spot by accident (dodgy cast) ! You could see bubbles rising when they were feeding very like tench fishing.

Sorry only just seen your reply Darren, I have got one sorted now thanks.

Is this rod still available?

Ok No problem.

Hi Paul Is this rod still for sale?

WOW superb looking fish, well done Pete.

They were spawning on the Blackwater yesterday.

Agree with Richard, it's a great brolly but not made for the roving angler.

Very sad, I've read a lot of his books. I'm reading Quest for Barbel now - Again! RIP Tony.

Very sad news, I have never met John but felt I knew him from his posts on this site and his PM's to me when I first started fishing the Loddon. RIP John.

Even worse for me Steve, I'm at the game! Can't believe I'm missing opening day...

Despite it's obvious failings, it was still the best fishing magazine available!

Great story and well done.

I think the surroundings are becoming more important for me, I spent today Tench fishing and was pleasantly surprised to only have one other angler on the lake. But after hours of no fish the lure of walking the river bank behind me took over and I spent an hour walking the bank feeding Chub...

Leave it as it is. It was mentioned on here the other day that it's good to give the banks and the wildlife a rest, I totally agree with this. It's great when you get back out on opening day to fresh green cover on the banks and not trodden down vegetation and mud!

Yes well done to him great fish. I had my first Barbel out of the Blackwater this season after a long search, it's good to know that fish of that size are in there!

I have seen a couple of 'very big' chub and some decent Barbel on my local River, This Barbel caught in November 2013 was 8lb 6oz from a section which as you can see from the picture you could nearly jump over with a good run up!!

Cheers Guys, really appreciate the great information.

Does anyone know of a compact camera that has a self timer that is longer than 10 seconds? I struggle to get good photos sorted in such a short amount of time.
