    River Lea

    Drove past a section of the Lea today and realised that even though I live in London I've never fished it. It looked lovely and I wanted to change that! Any suggestions for a place to start? Is Kings Weir worth a look or is it too busy? I prefer a bit of solitude if at all possible! Will only...

    Stalking Rod

    Hi folks After some advice on a stalking rod. Looking at the Greys 7ft or the Wychwood Extricator. Don't want a rod about 9ft & would prefer 7-8ft really. Will use for Barbel but mainly light carping work and even some shore bass spinning. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance...

    Chub Fishing

    Whilst I've caught plenty of chub when fishing for Barbel, I'm planning a proper go for them on Mon/Tues on the Teme. I'd love a big chub but I'm more interested in just catching a few on purpose. Planning a roving approach with bread/boilies and I'm sure I'll get some. Any hints and tips...

    That's no fly...

    Yesterday evening I popped over to the Bristol Avon for a quick session. Spotted some really big chub that I managed to get feeding in a swim. I slowly climbed down the bank and was just about to lower my bait in when I noticed some big flies buzzing around. On closer inspection I realised that...

    Stalking Barbel

    Have had real fun this season stalking fish with a bit of success... however, its nearly always been with fish that I've seen before putting any bait in. However, I'm interested in some advice on drawing fish into swims/spots from nearby snags/deeper holes... I would normally feed a few...

    Powerstretch Handle adaptations

    Hi folks. I've read and printed off pretty much all the old threads etc that are on here about modifying powerstretch handles but there are still a couple of questions that I've got. I'm pretty inept when it comes to this kind of stuff What's the best way of getting the rivet out of the...

    Chub

    Looking forward to catching a few on purpose this winter, especially if the temps stay low. However, a slightly inane question to start with about bread. I notice that most people stick with white bread... has anyone ever had success with brown? I ask because I'm planning a trip tomorrow...
