Hi all, I know how you all feel I have this thing about reels, I am a great beliver in only using one rod at a time. So why is it i cannot resist buying reels in pairs?

Hi all, Jackie Ballard would like to see angling disappear, she is a bigger menace to angling than an oil spill!

I begin to wonder, if there is such a thing as a "Waterproof garment" I have given up, and now use a cheap coated nylon jacket and trousers. The secret is a 50'wavelock type brolly!

It sounds to me as though you could do with some body building, try your local gym. Bow nets take a bit of getting used to, do not worry the muscles will soon come! Perhaps you should start on a smaller bow net first and work up to a mans one.

I am surprised that The Wall Pond has not been mentioned, If you go into Hampton Court Park from the Kingston gate and walk along the high wall on your right, there is the most wonderful pond, stuffed with big Tench.
