    What's the forecast.

    Good afternoon everyone, or is it ? I don't mind it raining when I'm fishing, but like to have an idea what is forecast before choosing when to go. I have apps for BBC weather and The Met Office. On every day this week they have been completely different. One would say only 10% chance of rain...

    Feeders or PVA bags.

    Prompted by Richards very good looking feeders, I thought I would ask a simple question. Do you prefer feeders or bags, and why ? I don't feel happy using feeders, I think the contents are flushed out too quickly, so need more frequent recasts. The rivers I fish hold relatively small numbers of...

    Korum Supa Lite chair

    For sale a Korum Aeronium chair. Really light at 2.3kg, but too low for me (in my 70's) as seat height is 14" with legs fully extended. So only used about 10 times and gone back to my JRC. Obviously in very good condition. They are £70+ new. Asking £35 plus £6 postage, or can meet York area.

    Shimano 4000 OC spare spool wanted.

    Hi, I am looking for a spare spool for a 4000 OC baitrunner. I have looked on line but they are out of stock at most outlets and they do not know when they will get fresh supplies. If anyone has a spare, please let me know. Thanks.

    Chair modifications.

    I sustained a back injury a month ago which meant no driving for two weeks and no fishing for over three. Sitting was more comfortable on a dining chair than on a soft sofa. So the Korum Aeronium was put back in the garage, always was too low, and out came my trusted old JRC x-lite. Trouble was...

    Daylight hours fishing.

    I would consider myself an angler of average ability. Being retired means I can fish when I want, but the years do mean I have to be a little more careful than when I was younger. So no precarious banks and no night fishing. I fish relatively small/medium rivers, the Yorkshire Ouse, Derwent and...

    Bob Gill SU float rod.

    Hi all, Just a heads up for anyone looking for a SU float rod. There is one of Bob's on ebay at the moment. Looks in nice condition and finishes later today. Just look under barbel rods, used. Hope that helps someone.

    Cork handle care

    Hi all, I'm sure I have read something before, but couldn't find anything when I had a search. So please forgive me if I am going over old ground. I have just cleaned a cork rod handle with a sponge and warm water with a little bit of washing up liquid. Amazing how much muck has come of with...

    Recommendations for a flood water rod.

    I fish small to medium waters, mainly the Yorkshire Derwent, Wharfe and Ouse. My go to rods are 11' x 1.5tc free spirit or 12' x 1.75tc diawa black widow. Both are through action, which I like. But recently I have taken to fishing in flood water conditions and found them rather too soft when...

    Smelly baits

    Hi all, With all the rivers very high the first few days of the season are going to be a bit of a challenge. I guess we are all thinking of using large smelly baits. I know most will have Spam or similar in several flavours, but I was wondering what else you are thinking of trying. For me, I...

    Hirisi or similar chinese reels

    Hi, I know last year several members ordered low priced reels from China. I am looking for a pair of small baitrunners for chub and tench fishing with 1.25lb test rods. I am only planning to use these a few times each year, so am not wanting to spend to much. If you purchased similar reels can...
