I bought X line 20lb after reading all the comments, will let you know how good or bad I think it is in a few months time , once its seen some water.

The main reason I like Fluorocarbon as a mainline is that it sinks rapidly and lays on the bottom, I realise that it does not have a great knot strength and that is also not as supple as some mono.

I have been using Berkley trilene fluorocarbon over the past couple of seasons and wondering what is the best Fluorocarbon main line you have used ?

Hi , I am going to Windmill Lakes nr Le Mans in France later this year and would like to hear from anyone who has fished these lakes in the past, any tips and advice would be great.

Has anyone out there used this line from Gardner ?

ok thanks, I will take a look at their website, any other suggestions from anyone ?

Hi guys, I know that many of you will have fished for catfish when visiting France over the past couple of years. I am looking for a "runs" water for catfish in France, does one exist ?

Thanks for the contact details.

I watched most of it last week , for a freebie its pretty good . Lots of ads and plugs , Danny must have something going on with Daiwa .

I spoke to Ian at Earith lakes last week , there are some places on one syndicate but its the willow syndicate I would want. I believe there is a long waiting list for the st ives night permits, not sure how to contact Trevor now that St Ives angling has closed.

Anyone fishing in Cambridgeshire / Beds on a syndicate that has spaces , anything considered !!

It does look nice there, no fishing at weekends though on the syndicate ticket unless I read it wrong, nice lake.

When I posted this , I knew you'd be the one to come back to me with some info, basically I am looking for a new lake and wondered whether this is a syndicate or club lake, roughly whats in it and whether there were any spaces ?

I am looking for a syndicate lake in the Cambridgeshire area , any suggestions ? I am not too worried about the size of the lake but would like to park close to the swms and have a decent head of carp stocked, lots of doubles ,20's and a few 30's would be great .

Hi does anyone know anything about the lake that is opposite Hartford Marina near Huntingdon. Its directly opposite the entrance to the marina.

Too far from Calais for me, I like to take my own gear so that rules out flying. Surely someone has been to a runs water in France within 200 miles of Calais / Boulogne ?

What you describe is roughly what I am looking for, have you been ?

Watched "obsession with carp" and though I enjoyed it , I wouldn't rate it as great. My favourite , other than "A passion for angling" is Globetrotter's "Carp Adventures France" with Tony Davies- Patrick , I think its superb.

Hi Guys, I am looking for a runs water in France prefably within 200 miles of Calais/ Boulogne , can anyone recommend somewhere for 2009 ?

Have any of you seen the "Globetrotters DVD carp fishing USA" I really enjoyed it.

Have a look on auction sites, you may be able to pick one up cheaply, if not I would go Daiwa or Shimano .

There are a lot of mixed views , many very positive though.

Thats a good idea

It is the tape , you are right ,it has actually come away from the material above the door,I have spoken to JRC and they say they do not sell the tape. The bivvy is about a 3- 4 years old now ,It is fine other than a couple of small "chewed holes" Mice/Rats in the shed ! I will try to get some tape , Anyone know where I can get some tape for sealing the joints on the inside of a tent/ bivvy ?

My JRC sti is leaking at some of the seams, has anyone successfully waterproofed their bivyy ? Anyone got any advice please ?
