Clubs could close certain stretches if they wanted that contained spawning grounds for say a month when they spawn.
When I use to do a lot of carp fishing I'd be ringing Baliffs up to ask if they were spawning and stay at home if they were, I've turned up to lakes before and gone home once I'd...
Tried quick drag types, got rid, Baitrunners all the way for me, I want to set the drag and forget about it, not constantly be setting it all the time and tweaking, also you get the visual confirmation the baitrunner is on, what if you forget to loosen the drag when you put them back on the...
Do these fella's like Tarka for dinner do you think?, bloody hope so.

There's too many, you can't let an Apex predator breed and breed with no control, there has to come a point where laws need to be changed, Cormorants can be shot under licence, and that's exactly what should be happening with Otters in the not too distant future.
I see no difference from Otters...
I've seen 5 this season on the Wharfe and Swale, and tracks on several stretches that reveals their presence, seen chub busting out the water to get away from them, I didn't realise just how fast they are in the water till I watched two hunting the other week, like greased lightening.
I'm...
I've had a Tikka XP for nearly 10 years, brilliant piece of kit, looks like it might go another 10, although I have been thinking of buying a newer version with a red light facility.
I'll never buy anything but Petzl, and the Tikka range are perfect for fishing.
Aren't the Tories trying to get Fox Hunting unbanned?, are you telling me the majority of the commons would vote against Angling?, because that's what it takes and it will never happen.
The first party to even attempt it would be political suicide, anglers on mass would be at the polling...
Well'ish put Mike, but Angling will never be the next Fox Hunting.
There are way too many participants, businesses and livelyhoods involved for it to happen, name a country were Angling is outlawed, never going to happen.
The public like furry cute Foxes but accept they need to be controlled...
What is this backlash you speak of?, I keep hearing this, oh we must not upset the general public because they'll turn on anglers.
Fishing will be here long after you, your children and children's children and so on and so on are gone.
Otters were and always will be a pest, they needed to be...
I'm not happy about the AT taking contracts from the EA, talk about poacher turned gamekeeper.
And don't think it's not a cynical move by the E.A to get them in their back pocket either.
Predation is the number 1 threat to fish stocks in this country and if the EA are not going to spend some...
Otters were hunted for a reason in days gone by, they were and always will be a pest.
I can see control measures coming in for them, but by then it will be too late for the fish and birds on our waterways.
Badgers are being culled, just as high up in the public's affections as Otters, it's...
No the Wye, Severn, Trent has loads of day tickets on prime water.
Plenty of places to camp and even fish right next to the sites if you have some camping gear, can't beat it in the summer, otherwise plenty of cheap B+B's for a weekend trip.
How far is the Kennet from you, I think you'd be better on there than the Ouse, what about the Wensum?
Personally I'd put 15lb line on the reel and then fish 10 or 12lb hooklinks, step up the hooks to a size 8 aswell.
