Hi all, Does anyone have any knowledge of the Derwent near Belper? I've never fished it but planning to have a go for Grayling - just wondering if I should go nearer to Ambergate or Milford..? TIA, Declan

Probably not much help, but my nomad ‘died’ years ago (15?) and I bought a Chub chair which had a frame exactly the same and transferred the seat and strap - I’m still using it!

A career in stand up beckons Dinger.. I’m afraid it’s an ex Barbel angler who’s lost his way!

RW Rolling Pin for sale in black (MK2).. Had it a while but hardly used £180 plus postage.. Doing this on my mobile so will try and attach pictures! Cheers, Declan 07799 168975

Hi Tony - mine's a 57 reg. Bought in early 2009 with 14k miles on the clock - coming up to 110k now and still going strong..

A few years ago I considered an L200 until I looked at a couple and realised a 12 rod wouldn't fit in the back, corner to corner. Went for a MK3 Ford Ranger which was ideal. Comfy, big car interior with leather etc. And a big back, 6ft corner to corner.. Never regretted it..

Seem to remember Andy Francis suggesting bfw sell a 'Lennie's of Luton" brand in the online shop

Not seen it - which river was it caught from?

No chance

Lol - what a man - he's a Barbel Ninja. Probably the funniest thing I've ever read on here.

I knew Geoff Springham who made this and have rolled a lot of bait on one - tbh it takes longer to clean than to use!

Dunno about Barbel, but there's some nice Trout in there!

Adrian - I think Mr Foxall has just hooked and reeled you in!

The J.W.Youngs 'Rolling Rod'?

Caught an Ouse Barbel hooked through the eye of the swivel it was dragging around! Also lost a Trent Barbel in the rocks, only to land it a few hours later and recover my hooklength!

Done - probably a complete waste of time and three minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Just wait 'til it arrives and sleep on it overnight, then make your own mind up. You've already bought it after all.

But - would that look like a 'freebie... - if everything else is moving, maybe the hookbait should be moving too?

"The best one so far was after 2 guys packed up leaving their rods, yes 4 rods still in the river, was to ask me to look after them while they took the rest of their tackle half a mile back to the car." Thanks for that Jon - saved us having to wind in :-)

He's obviously not fished the Ouse recently...
