Hi there,does anyone own a fladen baitrunner type reel?,are they any good?.Does anyone know of any online stockists?,i read a favourable review somewhere a while back.Any help gratefully recieved cheers.

Its time to book the old hols again for 2003.Can anyone recomend somewhere that appeals to both family and angler?.Tried the filey cost last year,can anyone recomend somewhere else? thanks in advance.

Many thanks guys,cheers.

Hi there,just logged on to find that their are only 5 threads now?,what happened to the old format where you could view the last 15 plus threads and replys :confused: ?,how do i find the older posts?,or am i not pressing the right button?(not the brightest).

Hi,does anyone know how long a new fishery should be left from the date of stocking till opening to the general public?.Do the fish need an adjusting period before they become active feeders or do they settle quickly?. :confused:

Hi,does anyone know if this can be purchased on dvd?any help gratefully recieved. billy

Do you work for david brent?...

Funny,as i mentioned in the favourite weeklys post the editor of am has a pop on page 18 using terms like net nerds and web weirdo,s and questioning the intelligence of people who visit sites like this.Then several pages later came the promotional stuff regarding the great benefits of the net for anglers?? selective amnesia is a wonderful thing..

Due to a shortage of reading material i bought for the first time in ages anglers mail(double holiday edition)today.On page 18 it had a whats hot and not section,the first of the whats not not was the internet, i quote"home of the stay at home net nerds and web weirdos.Why tap into the chat of people who cannot spell paper let alone write on it."This actually was the comments of the editor.Strangely several pages on there was a smashing feature on internet angling and how to access angling sites???,oh and i.ve not changed my views it,s still cr*p.

I was just wondering what everyones favourite weekly/monthly angling pubs were?.I buy angling times every week and find it has a decent balance between ads features and reviews.I used to buy anglers mail but found it had too many ads with only the andy little section worth a read?.For what its worth my favourite monthly has to be coarsefisherman,whats your topreads?.

Edward pimperdon the third.

Can anyone help me obtain one of these reels?,its the creamy gold coloured one with the front drag and the wood handle?,i had one and lost it and would love to replace it?,any help gratefully received.

If roach and other coarse species are to be used as bait for pike,then small pike are fair game.I am curious though on casting and hooking arrangments for a 3 pound jack??

Did anyone else see the nature programme on bbc2 on sunday night about the riverbank?.Definately the best progamme of this type i have ever seen.Two female kingfishers fighting to the death when out of nowhere a mink appears to interrupt proceedings.This coupled with the footage of the the otters and the motherduck trying to lead the mink away from the ducklings was brilliant telly,if anyone knows if if you can buy this on dvd or video let me know.

Brillian chris,the very same,thanks.

I was trotting Adz using maggots and small redworms as bait,cheers.

Hi there,does anyone know where i can these floats online?,i am down to my last one and can,t get any more.Any help gratefully recieved.get :confused:

Just had a smashing days grayling fishing,11 grayling and countless brown trout.If you have a river that holds grayling nearbye then get out there your missing something special.

Grayling are without doubt my favourite species of all to fish for.My favourite (and most productive)days are the mild days that you get between frosty spells.I have never found them to be particularly shybiting and as long as you fish fairly light you shouldn,t have any probs hooking and landing a few. My set up is 2 and a half test line,an avon wire stemmed stickfloat,size 18 barbed hook with the shot bulked 10 inches above the hook.Like Andy i catapult a few freebies into the head of the run(maggots and a few corn niblets)for ten minutes to get the fish feeding with confidence.Then its time to fish.Give the swim 20 mins and if its not producing move on to the next and repeat the process,you will find them.Last year i fished a stretch of the river earn in perthshire for hours without a touch then after moving to a run further down myself and a friend landed 32 grayling in 2 hours.I would reccomend grayling fishing to anyone.
