    Walthamstow

    A little correction, There was never a KHV issue at Walthamstow. There was asmall indication of a bacterial infection and precautions were made to limit any harm....as such, no harm was done.

    Glad it paid off Howard. The perch should be starting to line up for spawning around about nowish.

    Great looking quartet Anthony. Howard, RE your problems. Might I suggest you hook the LB through the root of the tail. It could be that Perch here just want to smash the head right away and due to line and angles etc, they arent getting the full grab as it were. Hook the wrist and let the...

    Grayling

    Spent a day on the Test yesterday. River ridiculously high. Grayling were shoaled up very tight and would not vary on the line in which they were prepared to take a bait. Was a bit of a struggle to be honest but I winkled out a 2 right at the end. Also a Salmon said hello but unhooked in the...

    Perch

    Simon. I use the shorter of the John Roberts paternoster booms. I tie the rotten bottom to the swivel beneath it and just ensure the hook length is much shorter than the aforesaid rotten bottom. The tube on the little boom in conjunction with a stiff flouro seems to work just fine. Again, this...

    The only thing I would say Howard, though this is only what I've found with River Fish. Sometimes, if there is an abundance of the same livebait about, it pays to make the one on your hook behave very differently, make it seem like such an easy option that it can't be refused. For example (and...

    A nice day out and some "perhaps" alternative ideas?

    Ah Quality!! Loved it.

    Thanks all. Still chuffed at this. I'd taken my 5 year old out with me for a couple of hours. He'd been on at me for ages to take him Grayling fishing. I used the time to try and get him to grips with a quiver tip. Can't cast yet and his striking is just about there but the playing is fine as...

    Jim, thanks for that, I'm sorry about your grief but he's evidently still very much alive in you. What a testimony to the man.

    Doesn't count, I'm still showering off my self loathing of catching them whilst wearing a T shirt last november. I was wearing the t shirt..not the...you know.
