    Good bit of kit for self takes...

    I’v got same set up along with ‘Lens Buddy’ app so it takes a series of shots after the initial press (however many & speed you ask it to). Works well & even though i normally avoid Korum stuff these days find the light useful especially when packing up in the dark

    Day Ticket this weekend within an hour South of Chester....

    There is also Hampton Springs (about 10 mins from Bolesworth) if you want your carp fix? It’s a commercial complex with a specimen lake. Well run, good shop & café if that floats your boat or its too hot for the river

    Day Ticket this weekend within an hour South of Chester....

    There is Emstrey which is £8 on line. Nice stretch about 11/2 mile of bank just outside of Atcham. Good, safe carpark and a variety of swims to go at? (Theres a few videos on YouTube). https://shrewsburytownfisheries.co.uk/fisheries/emstrey/

    No passion for angling?

    Think you can do both tbh? I burned myself out back in the early 2000’s in my pursuit of big fish and promised myself it wouldn’t happen again. It’s all about catching of course but i dont nightfish, travel (reasonably) light and still enjoy my surroundings whilst fishing. I also love going in...

    Gardner landing net pole/folding pan net

    I used the net last season. Great, well made and ‘did the job’ but got fed up with it as awkward to carry. Best was on top of my rucksack but still found it to get in the way somehow. Gone back to a drennan 32” triangle so it fits in the quiver.

    Ground Spike

    Easy to walk in. I thought they’d just clog up & hold mud but they dont. No more slip, sliding and i used to get a bad back from constantly tensing up to stop sliding but have learnt to relax now and can even get in swims i’d never have done without them. I can honestly say that i’ve never felt...

    Ground Spike

    Been said before but crampons/cleats that stretch over your boots have changed my winter fishing on the Severn! You can get a pair off Ebay for less than a tenner and will be the best tenner you’ll spend!

    I'm finally happy! (New rods)

    You should be happy with them. I used them for 3 years & loved them! Did everything i asked and always felt in control. I’ve ‘upgraded’ to FS Tamers in 1.75 and unless i find them better than they feel in the hand when the season starts, i’m regretting it!

    36inch rubberised landing net, who’s making them?

    Quite good nets from Gerry’s of Morecambe. I tried rubberising my own before getting one but whilst it worked fine, i needed a sherpa to carry it! These are reasonably light 👍

    Hook length material

    I’ve found Gardner Target flouro to be good. Been using it for a couple of seasons and had no trouble at all

    New trotting set up.

    Sounds like you’re describing one of the Cheshire mere’s i used to fish back in the day. Used to wade out just short of a drop off and fish the waggler for BIG roach & the odd Tench…..totally immersed (in the atmosphere not the water!) & felt like heaven!

    Long range forecasts are giving a good spell of rain/sun from this weekend into June so hopefully we might have a reasonable start to the season 🤞 Not been out during the closed season due to a big project at home so am itching to get going again now i’m free. Was fearing the usual disappointing...
