Sorry for hijacking a catfish thread..

Prussian carp are not just in Lincs they are in Cheshire as well at a commercial very close to me... the EA are trying to work out where they are, but currently say brown goldfish are a bigger menace to crucian than Prussians ATM

I would go with the cheapest as you will go through them on the Trent

Nice to hear, I always found the baliffs to be ok when I fished down there.

Sounds like a 5 turn blood knot. If I use a blood knot I use 6 turns and tuck it just like my Dad showed me 😁

Good news for the fish who will get a bit of a respite.

There must be a market out there for a specialist courier to do this work. Maybe worth using a small independent?

By the way there's some debate if Crucians are actually native to the UK. They may well have been imported in the middle ages alongside brown goldfish as another fish to breed for food (alongside carp) and also for ornamentation.

According to Peter Rolfe in his excellent book on Crucians "Crock of Gold" Prussian carp used to be used to describe a multitude of similar but different fish to Crucians. Such as Brown Goldfish and Crucian crosses. The thing about Crucians is they can exist in high and low back forms and...

I agree the fishing can be good I used to fish at the back of the university at Clifton & other areas when I worked down there. But you have to know where to park. Other areas can also be plagued by feral kids. Also other areas downstream are better in terms of numbers and sizes IMO, the...

Tuck your bait into the bottom of your feeder or use a pva bag to avoid the braid tangling when you cast in. Good luck 🤞

There's a reason why most of the Trent around Nottingham is free 😁

I wouldn't drop below 15lb mainline & hooklink strength on the middle & tidal areas of the Trent that I fish - too many rocks. You might get away with it in some pegs but you would have to know the peg well. I use a similar rig to Joe, but use 30lb hard fluoro and a coated braid with the last...

How do we find out how are MPs voted?

I prefer the 1.5lb TC version it has a bit more backbone IMO. But it depends on how big the chub are and snags etc. I use this for hook and hold fishing using 8lb mainline.

There was a toilet block last time I went.

I read somewhere that the colour red appears black below a certain depth. Maybe that's why red maggots work well. For me another thing to bear in mind is that thicker abrasion resistant lines reduce casting distance & accuracy. Which may be important in some circumstances

I'm not sure how driving to the river and fishing all day on my own is dangerous. Especially when I go to work 5days a week and mix with folks from a wide area. My job can't be done at home BTW.
