Flipping mouse has eaten my middy specialist landing net. I'm gutted, I must have had it 20+ years and it's been excellent. I particularly liked that it had some lead stitched into the bottom which helped with netting. Long shot but does anyone know of any replacement nets that are weighted...

I'm thinking of getting a couple of rods built and I'm starting to think of what colour whipping to go for. I've picked up most of my rods second hand over the years and have never given it a second thought previously. I get this is a very personal thing but just wondered what people's...

Has anyone got recommendations on where to get large cage feeders for the bigger rivers?

I picked up a couple of second hand rods yesterday. Both have perished foam at the bottom. Is there a way of easily replacing this, or is it a complete handle strip down job?

Drat, my Nash Nomad Chair has finally failed. I"m gutted, it was a great chair, recommended on the old BFW many many years ago (20-25!) and served me extremely well. With a bit of thought and hard work I might be able to resurrect it but to be honest it would only be a matter of time until the...

I'm hoping to target tench this spring as it's a species I've never really targeted. I've got images of misty mornings, lilly pads, quill floats centrepins and a floppy hat. I've had a bit of a Google and I'm struggling to find anywhere local that I'd actually like to fish. They all seem to be...

Ok so here’s the scenario. The cupboard is bare and your planning an evening session the next day. You’re at work during the day but can just about make it to a reasonable sized supermarket at lunchtime. You’ll grab a sandwich meal deal for lunch. What do you grab for your evening on the bank?

God knows how, but somehow I've gone and cracked the isotope on my ipower. Has anyone got any tips on how best to remove and replace it.

I'm planning on targeting Perch more this coming season so im thinking of getting new rods and wondered if you guys have any recommendations mostly for ledgering with worms and prawns. I've done a bit of reading up and options I've come up with so far are -Drennan specialist twin tip duo 1lb...

After a cold night on the middle trent I'm looking to upgrade my very basic oval brolly. I'm looking for a brolly system rather than a bivvy as I fish the Burton Mutual ticket and they don't allow bivvies on the river. I'll use the brolly on its own on Burton Mutual stretches and the 'system'...

I've got a chip where the bait arm joins the roller on my Shimano baitrunner Aero 6000 GTE. I've tried Felindre but they say the parts are no longer available. They have said that if i post it to them them they could try and see if they have something else that would fit but this sounds like a...

I'm thinking of investing in a pair of multi purpose rods. I'd want to use them for dead baiting for pike, close to medium range carp fishing and occasional barbel trips on the Trent when it's up. On the face of it this seems achievable, the rods need to do fairly similar tasks for each of these...

I need to get more braid hook link and just wondered if any one had any recommendations? I'm looking for something uncoated. I've been using Gardner which has been OK but just wondering if there are better options out there.

We always suspected it but it's finally been confirmed.... https://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/relationships/holding-up-a-fish-is-sexiest-thing-ever-confirm-women-20181111179290

Bob Robert's has created a complete guide to the Trent, including maps showing which clubs controls each stretch and which you can get day tickets for. Link Quite a useful resource. Wouldn't it be great if something like this existed for all our rivers. Quite a task though.

Well my old small rucksack has finally given up the ghost after one too many closed season mice attacks. I was gutted as it's been just about perfect over the last 10 years or so. Well I was very pleased to discover pretty much the same bag for sale in the local army surplus shop in Burton and...

Not much notice but, I have just received this via email and thought some BFW'ers might be interesting in donating: Having been horrified by the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire and inspired by those risking their lives to help others, angler Colin Culley decided he wanted to help. So he...
