Wish this was posted before Easter would just parted with £300 at D&A for 2 pairs of glasses

I've fished the canal around Tring a few times I agree with Davidt the Alesbury arm can be abit patchy but if you get in the right swim on the right day its great. Ive had tench to 7lb and Carp nearing 20lb. One downer is make sure you leave nothing visable in your car heard quite a few cases of cars being busted into when parking on the arm Some good bits on the wendover arm is you don't mind a walk. Make the most of the low traffic they are opening up the disused part of the wendover arm all the tourist will be motoring up it to have a look.

This is a photo (hope its not too big) of the smallest pond that I fished its about 10 metres by 15 metres . I caught 133 carp out of the pond not all by rod and line though, the pond was being filled in so caught as many possible before the water was pumped out then went in with the row boat and landing net when there wasn't enough water for the carp to hide All the carp went into the lake behind

Maybe you can invoice the bank for the advertising Elton

I think most of the navigation is dayticket Lee Anglers Consortium

Too cold to fish today too cold to go windsurfing too but went to the lake (220 acres) anyway its got a couple of good cycle paths nearby. When I arrived part of the lake was frozen but as the wind got up the ice was all pushed up against the shore moving rocks some old fishing platforms causing right destrution but nothing that couldn't be fixed it was an amazing sight once in a life time. Then the bad bit we have a weather station on a platform in the middle of the lake well I should say HAD it wasn't there anymore the ice had ripped it out the lake bed and turned it over. Its hard to belive the power of the ice the platform has been there for 10 years taken batterings from galeforce winds, crashed into by windsurfers and stoodfirm but alas its now at the bottem of the lake along with £300's worth of weather station

All the rivers have a close season but still waters and most canals can stay open subject to the owners/ controling club

The only people I can see a boycott hurting are the tackle shop and fishery owners. Everyone buying a rod licence two weeks late isn't going to make a blind bit of notice to the goverment but the lost revenue in bait, tackle and ticket sales will hurt the other areas of the industry

I'm not a boat owner but been looking on the net and found this http://www.ybw.com/mbm/redalert/ Looks like its red diesel for the time being not sure of the exact figue but its taxed a lot less that the stuff we can use on the road

If I get the chance leave early and go fishing the following morning

I think argos are going to see a rush on these, been out and bought one today looks like a good bit of kit to me

Does anyone know how they tag the fish? Had a look at the site and it doesn't mention how they are tagged

If you renew with 6 months left they go onto your new passport

Sounds like fun, never caught proper catfish I caught one in a net in local river about 20 years ago but thats it

I only get 20 days holiday a year I get bank holiday on top of that but it don't go very far I managed 5 weeks off sick last year which topped the holidays up but fracturing my arm too high a price to pay for the extra

Im going to be in Ross on Wye for weekend the of 25th Feb, can anyone point me in the direction of a decent bit of the Wye if I can get some time to fish. Thanks Darren

This sounds like a story that we would like to hear

--> QUOTE(Norm B @ Jan 1 2006, 03:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've heard there's no fish there. More time for eating breakfast and having a drink in the pub afterwards!

Had a bit in this part of Herts too only a dusting though will maybe think about going fishing still now

Zone Alarm for what seams like ages but just updated recently and its jusr seemed to make everthing run slow and puter takes ages to boot up now

Not as good as the pictures on the news but this one is taken out of my bedroom window. Only thought to take a photo after the flames had died down a bit

Its was in Hemel Hempstead Buncefield Oil dept. Very big and loud I'm about 2 miles away was shaken out of bed like thought it was an earthquake.

Im past the cooling off period and Ive already taken a trip Its the travel insurance via marbles credit card administed by UNAT Though it would be nice and easy to have them both together can see the credit card going through the shredder now Will have to just take more trips abroad!

Its for both will be having a skiing trip, trips to France to visit family but was planning a few trips away in the UK too Feel its just another rip off by insurance companies

I was just reading the small print on the annual travel insurance policy and get this! I quote Trips in the UK are not covered (see the definitons of "europe" and "UK" Trip means any journey Which starts and finishes in the uk to destinations outside of the uk I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF! How can someone sell and policy that don't cover the uk? I will name if im allowed too
