    B&W Hexagraph Avon No 2 - SOLD

    A Hexagraph for sale - finally realised I don't require two so this one needs a good home, and some use. Condition is 'used', but it's in great condition. £400 Just been on the Bruce and Walker site and it looks as if they're no longer making any Hexagraphs, so this could potentially be a...

    Hacking

    Not of the www or digital variety, but the best tool for clearing undergrowth and accessing swims. What do you recommend? A machete, or is there something better? Thanks

    Favourite River Report

    As the river reports are brand new (at this time of year) I generally view them all; just to see what's going on. As the season goes by and the pages on each report mount up it gets difficult to keep up unless one is a very regular visitor. So....my question is this: What is you favourite...

    Boilies poll

    Following on from the "milk" thread I thought it might be interesting to learn the percentage of boilie users who use shelf-life, fresh/frozen or homemade baits. I've made the poll single choice, based on the assumption that each angler would normally stick to one type (sorry if this isn't...

    Threat to rivers

    What we already know, however it's good to see it recognised in the mainstream media. The question is; will it make any difference? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jun/24/quarter-england-rivers-risk-running-dry-finds-wwf

    Just a couple of days left

    So, are most of us intrepid barbel anglers going to take advantage of the slightly milder conditions (here in the North, at least) and attempt to catch one or two more fish before the end of the season? I'll be out fishing the Dove for the final hurrah! :)

    Waterproof trousers

    Not strictly barbel-related but I'm frustrated enough to try anything (almost). What I'm looking for (possibly a rarity of holy grail proportions) is a pair of trousers that are waterproof and breathable. They don't have to be green, must not be bib/brace or skiing, or over-trousers. Oh...

    Centrepin Swap

    I'm looking to swap a lightly-used Fred Crouch Jet (wide drum) for a JW Young Rolling Pin (either finish). I bought two Jets (from the man himself) but only ever need one at a time. Any offers? Thanks, Richard

    River Records

    I had short, but interesting, exchange on 'another' forum with Steve Pope about river records and the validity thereof. The upshot being that when I posed the question "Are the BFW and Barbel Society records kept in tandem and, if not, are they still identical?", I received the answer "The BS...

    Gardner Trickster

    Hi chaps, Just wondering if anyone uses the above-mentioned hooklink material, and if so, what you thought of it. My own experience is a couple of lost fish and, as a consequence, lost faith. I use braid as a mainline and hooklink, so that may have some bearing, however I don't have the...

    Rig Wallet

    Hi - just wondering if anyone could recommend a wallet for storing hooklengths? I'm not too worried about price, however size is the issue; the smaller the better. Thanks in advance.
