I am the proud owner of a Ray Walton Rolling “Pin” Last year I was “Roving “ on the River Wharfe when the reel had an unscheduled dunking , the reel band slipped from the reel foot and the reel ended up in about 18 inches of water . It was undamanged and once dried off on the bank was none the...

When four of Santa’s elves got sick, and the trainee elves didn’t produce the toys as fast as the regular ones… Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then, Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit… This stressed Santa even more. When he went to...

Hi guys n gals, just a quick heads up ! David

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65626241 We will see.I think the response is so much flannel, the water companies are asking us to pay twice for the promosed minor improvements to come , we have already paid them for nothing but their bonuses and dividends to shareholders . We...

After reading the club membership thread, I was wondering how far members would travel for a days fishing . I will travel 100 plus miles for a days sea angling , but more or less draw the line at anywhere more than probably 60 miles maximum for a day coarse fishing, and then not too often. I...

Hi all, the close season is upon us, and I am a bit old school where it is concerned, so stillwaters are out of bounds to me as well …. so I have been a bit busy … I would say these are a tad bulky for the tackle bag, but I am sure they could be of use somewhere for float storage, after all...

Hi Guys n gals I would bring to your attention the above, we have not had anything like this in Yorkshire before and hopefully it will be a success…there will be something of interest for everybody . I know we have a large northern contingent here so maybe make a date in your diary. All...

With the weather being so “up and down” I have been thinking about getting a thermometer to check the water temps.I broke the last one . Any reccomendations . I would prefer the old fashioned type if possible, a simple no nonsense one. Not sure how reliable they are though . If must needs I...

Hi, anybody know anything about a new “lightweight” rolling pin that is due to be released shortly ? David

Hi, I may have a window of opportunity on Wednesday to pop down to the Trent for a session afternoon till about 0100 am or later . I was wondering where would be a good shout for the visit . Day tickets on the bank if poss. I am familiar with Collingham Wier downstream so any other venues would...

Can anybody recommend a reliable slow melt PVA mesh ? I already slow down the fast melt stuff I have by applying oils et, but am looking for a slow melt mesh that I can load up at home without having to doctor in any way. There are quite a few different brands available but I know to cost that...

I found this on another website, it tells you the amounts of sewage discharges into rivers from sewage plants, particularly interesting is the information re overflows of untreated sewage in times of heavy rain and flood . I wonder if the “Wild swimmers “ and canoeists have seen this, almost...

Well, we are in the second half of our break in Padstow, the weather has been horrendous,strong NNW winds,and heavy rain showers. When we come here, I always bring my beach gear and rods /reels suitable for fishing from the harbour wall, always short 2 or 3 hour sessions from the harbour as it...

Sad though it makes me, I have come to the conclusion that Barbel are the "new " carp. In the last years I have seen more and more rivers loaded with bivvies, bite alarms, long stay people who call themselves anglers chasing a photo opportunity and a name in an angling mag or similar . No skill...
