I have no knowledge of the crash. I did observe that it was at a junction. From my experience in perfect visibility not all people merge easily into the flowing traffic at a junction. On the same night and only an hour before the BBC were carring a report that celebrations were cancelled in Bridgewater due to torrential rain. Then we get reports of smoke fog mist. Hmmm not a good night to be on that stretch then. Poor surface, impaired visibility and traffic problems. Hmmm

Spot on.. Rudd are sooo much more fun. Get a travel rod so that you are never without. Any time the river in gin clear whack out a klinkhammer.

I have fished for them on the fly... their eyesight is really carp (typo there) and you need to be patient for them to find the fly. Where as rudd are so damn quick there is hardly time to straighten up. Could we not get GM rudd and dace so that they became as gross as the pot bellied carp , then we got a real chance.

Just get a dummy camera and stand looking like you are taking pictures... additional comments on a phone "yep I have found him" and "am getting the evidence now"

Another simple method for small amounts is just to riddle your maggots as you sit there, get one that fits on a square box. Tip em out into a spare box. On a hot day it wont be long for some of them to turn... good way to compare tackle shops.

Really pi**es the dog off though

Do you have any info yet where all these anglers will be fishing?

Why would he buy all those books then?

I presume that the pike and salmon are well trained and the Pike have priority for the spinners.

Got to be on a river... weed has died back.... chub are about..... Check out any form of weir Just make sure that water temp isnt falling.

You could try pickling them...

What did they start life as?

Mincemeat and cranberries can also come in useful.... avoid mincing up the roasties tho..... leaves an oily slick

Bought a new rod and then watched excited son stamp all over the tip (he was excited !!!) Sob

I think that we have to differentiate between "need to do" this and "do this" . The owner is a master of the media (just ask Matty) and I can see (without visiting) that fishing there is a truely wonderful leisure exxperience. At the end of the day it is a mosel of truely positive publicity, Now just get in the queue

Rivers last week here end were gin clear.... 1 st problem. Rivers last week end here were very low ....2 nd problem I ended up down on 18 and 20 hooks, wading to the opposite of streams to run the float down that side of the stream and fishing rafts of weed (just holding back outside the raft to tempt out a dace or chub) to catch anything much.

I cannot remember when I last saw an eel on a suffolk/essex border river...... Or remember anyone locally saying that they caught one. Do otters and crayfish like em?

Could nt agree more.... just watch the fish go crazy for this. On a river it can also lighten the river bed so that you can see the fish move over it (when wearing the polaroids...!)

Bleak news for a grey day

Look for the features.... so look along the edge of the Park... lots seem to fish there but I have only caught small stuff. Opposite side is a short stretch with a road alongside, I watched a bloke piking there and seemed to get some success. When a boat goes past cast in as the churned up water seems to get the fish feeding, but it soons settles down. -- this is more a general Braods point.

Do you think that the sponsors would like a little sign on the bank "This swim has been sponsored by...etc)?, then the club/ water owner could charge extra for the premium fed pegs. Another lucrative and previously untapped source of income could be in fish products made from the winning fish. This would be in addition to all the kit used in catching the fish eg rod reel line hooks bivvy stove bottle opener

Ahhh but if there was a Sensa loaf I am sure that would be OK

I haven't had my eyes tested for a while but it does have an uncanny resemblance to a part of the anatomy ..but surely not God NO! Hmmm Perch will eat anything ... perhaps

I think that condition is now treatable
