I've got an old book somewhere which I'll try to dig out that from memory lists barbel being stocked into the Gt.Ouse in 1953 'above Bedford' and also lists a stocking of barbel in the lower river in 1950 at St.Neots (Eynesbury)....

Of course, I'm not suggesting that they are the only problem, but a few visits a day to a section over a period of 3-5 years can and will have a massive effect.. I fished the Severn back in March with one of the Pallatrax lads for the first time and saw no end of the damn things where we...

At a guess, there's a few thousand pounds of fish sitting in those trees alone..... :mad: Take a look how many trees have been killed by the cormorant droppings (read as silver fish) along your river...

Dean, PM me your address and I'll send you a hat to match the hoodie.... it's pink and it's pink camo too :D:D

and mine... hang on a minute, probably is mine as he now has 2 after our river severn trip last week :) Great days fishing Ryan, a few landed, a couple lost and all in 10ft of flood water.... Crustacean cocktail doing the business again.. 3 x 18mm hookbaits on hair with wrapped paste, awesome!

A great capture of a great fish.. well done!

I did not say that a fish recognises a lead weight.... I said, a stone is a stone ... a lead is not, nor is a feeder , neither are natural elements, no matter what fancy coatings or disguises we put on them .... we do not know that they can recognise leads (as in see them) but they can 'tell'...

Indeed, Stonze are not as dense as lead...but you miss the reason for using a stone. The stonze is just a stone and as such it dissapears from sight.. to the fish it is just a stone... to the angler who has been brought up with dense lead..it's perceived to be too big... to the fish..quite...

I take that part of your reply was a general one and not aimed in this direction as I'd not replied earlier... Yes, police informed... no action other than report taken (I deal with the UK's police forces on a daily basis, I know the score) Yes, EA informed, pictures, time etc Fishery...

yes, rather infuriating! enraged even further when I took out two set lines which had been left in the water just at the end of the weir.. no doubt countless others along there too... the middle Ouse around St.Neots, Buckden, Godmanchester & Huntingdon is suffering the same fate daily... set...

As if the barbel fishing (read as most fishing) on the Ouse is not hard enough at present due to many reasons I had these lovely two gentlemen come paddling through last night... Bottom of dinghy had a number of pike and perch in it and when I told them to politely 'jog on' and what the hell...

Paul, You have a PM, contact me if interested. regards Paddy

or here, with more pictures too :) http://www.pallatrax.co.uk/News/tabid/56/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/101/Red-hot-river-day.aspx

Here you go Graham, varies from sources between: 49.5% - 59% protein 12.5% - 15% Fat 11.6% - 13% Moisture 8% - 11& ash contain also 17 amino acids... This is good stuff too ;)

it perfectly explains that they are protein rich though :D what the long term effects of feeding them to lizards as a sole foodsource has to do with the context of this forum is misleading in return (all be it in response to someone who mentioned lizards) when I'm discussing them as part of a...

Analysis of Dried Mealworms: Defra data too.. not the selling agent :) Min Crude Protein 60% Min Crude Fat 24% Max Crude Fibre 4.5% Max Moisture 8% Max Ash 3.5% Obviously, you're entitled to an opinion :D

Hi, I've been using Mealworm, dried and whole in boilies and groundbait mixes for well over 18 months now in testing and development of the new Pallatrax Naturals range of baits and whilst I can not (who can) comment on the singular effect of dried mealwoms as a single source as they are part...

Graham, Do yourself a favour and look at the gear from Thinking Anglers, the rod holdall with 'long tip top' extra is a lovely bit of kit - 2 rods with reels protected inside, sticks and net on outside, no room for brolly, so use a poncho instead :) A bit extravagant, but I've got 4 of them...

Carefull! there is a lot more to this than you'll ever know :D Show me there tinned natural items, dried naturals for groundbait and stick mixes and freezer boilie range... If you look carefully, the only thing in common is a silkworm groundbait... One item.... :D not copied.... observed...

hmmmmm...in Japan maybe ;) Buy Best, Buy British :D Off fishing now... silkworm crush groundbait and silkworm chrysalis hookbaits plus some water snails... no doubt another weekend having to wind in to get some peace and rest the arm from so many tench.... I kid you not! :D Have a...
