    Fish cradles aka Fish poachers

    I was wondering what the forum members think of fish cradles? Owners have the best of intentions when it comes to fish welfare. However, in the heat of summer, the green colouration and material of construction, can easily absorb heat, upping temperatures, that can cause heat stress to species...

    Best fishing book

    I've gradually built up a multi-species collection over the years. I am starting to sell/give away various titles that I no longer want. There are certain favourite titles that I'll keep. What's your top 5?

    Digital Scales

    I know this may be controversial and I'm all for embracing 'new' technology. But, digital scales. Why bother? They seem to me more hassle than they're worth and I see a lot of dubious weights of fish, claimed to have been weighed, using digital scales. I know that in the hands of experienced...

    Barbel Fisher Nos 49

    Slightly different format this issue. Really enjoying it with some good photography. Quite a few feature articles, by different anglers, on what makes them 'tick' and the way in which they approach their barbel fishing. I especially liked the Lee Swords and Neil Wayte features. Not finished yet...

    Barbel book recommendation

    I've Fred Crouches book which is OK, and probably good at the time, but now seems a bit dated. Although behaviour descriptions still apply. I also have Barbel Tales which is mostly quite good. Also a 40 plus pamphlet type barbel book by Tony Miles. Good but a tad too brief. Can anyone recommend...
