    Fox duo lite quiver tip wanted

    Drennan tips fit perfectly and are probably better quality than the Fox originals. You can get fast or slow (better) tapers.

    Roach

    Nice trip today on a bit of the BA that I haven’t fished before. Lots of decent sized roach - probably more than I caught in the whole of last season. Unfortunately lost something that felt big but roachy and broke the 1/2oz tip on my bomb rod when the line got twiddled round it while unhooking...

    Mike, Bailiff WyeLea. Sad news.

    I just saw a post on face book that mentioned his passing. Such a shame to lose a lovely old bloke. Will miss having a chat with him (and Ben of course!) at Wyelea. RIP

    Wafters.

    I think it was “Even closer” On the Severn. Pop up glued to the hook.

    Fishing a low stocked water

    I’ll be out on the BA again and despite it being hard it’s my river and I will stick with it rather like staying loyal to my football team, I can’t just abandon it. I started back in the winter of 2004 and have amazing memories of Claverton, Avon Cliff, Limpley and Lacock. I’ve never had more...

    Pic from the Frome but they are in the Avon as well. If you paddle a canoe upriver from the firestation bridge in Bath the trees are chewed.

    Andrew Burt Floats

    Andy’s floats are great. The interchangeable tips are brill and it’s excellent when they disappear!

    Xmas pressy

    Korum graphite brolly for me. My Keenets one from Argos finally gave up the ghost after 19 years and I stumbled across an unused one on eBay for £50. Very happy with it and might buy some storm caps for it if I decide to sit still for longer in a swim than I tend to.

    No, I just meant that based on my first visit yesterday it is prolific for chub. I had 10 and lost another two. Very different in character to the stretches I tend to fish between Bath and Chippenham - wide open floodplain and low banks where you can be at the water’s edge. I’m very excited...
