I have one of these and I love it. Light, well engineered and a thing of beauty. The only drawback is that the open design means that general crud can get into the reel and I sometimes have to do quick clean on the bank to get things spinning freely again. If you are fishing with maggots, I...
Back in May……
Fast forward to today, government gives green light to property developers to sidestep environmental controls. Not difficult to work out what is going on here.
Weird isn't it Dave! Forgot about it when my local barbel fishing went down the pan but I have recently been bitten by the tench bug. I have one duo lite but would like a matching pair.
Thanks for the offer Wayne. I will probably go smaller than the 35l. I like the look of the 20l one which looks ideal for my short session roving trips.
My Korum Ruckbag, which is several seasons old, has given up the ghost. It is still in fairly good nick but the long zip on the main compartment is knackered. I was going to just go for a straight replacement but have read some negative reports on the latest incarnation of the ruckbag and also...
I fished a very flooded River Loddon after dark a few years ago. I had to wade along a flooded path next to the river to get back to the car and I was amazed when my very bright headtorch picked out a group of chub mooching along the path. They were totally unphased by the torch and my presence...
I thought I would give an update on my bib and brace purchase. Went for the Vass winter bib & brace. Initial impressions good. They are very light but seem to be nice and warm. Went out yesterday afternoon to do a bit of chub fishing and by the time I packed up the net was frozen solid. Wore...
My 15 year old Sundridge bib & brace has finally given up the ghost and I am in the market for some new kit. Does ayone have personal experience of these...
Cycling to fish the River Thames at Victoria Bridge near Windsor c1972. Solid glass leger rod, intrepid reel and a lump of cheese or sausage meat. Countless barbel in the 3-5lb range with the odd 'monster' around 7lb. Happy days.
If you ever find yourself near Bala in Snowdonia you can buy a day ticket to fish the Welsh Dee. The winter fishing for grayling is fantastic and fly fishing and bait fishing (no maggots) are allowed. I have fished it a couple of times in the last year and have had a fantastic day each time.

This is an interesting site: https://experience.arcgis.com/.../e834e261b537.../page/home/
You can look up when your local water treatment plant has dumped sewage into your river. In 2020 sewage was dumped into the Loddon near me a total of 10 times. This sounds bad but other local rivers have...
Lots of sites giving the full list of MPs who voted to allow sewage discharge to continue. Here is one: https://evolvepolitics.com/heres-a-list-of-every-mp-who-just-voted-to-allow-water-companies-to-continue-dumping-raw-sewage-in-our-rivers/.
Whatever your own personal political view, I think...
