Greg a pain aint they :rolleyes:

Hi.Have fished the Mulcair before.Worming and spinning.Alas not had a salmon,but my mate had one on worm.Certaily if ever over there again i would give it a crack-it was cheap as chips to fish it :D Suspect its still the same,the channel running up past Cloonlara from the power station was reputed to hold salmon amongst other species.Not supposed to fish it,but many were

Well true enough it can be pricey.Down here in Surrey and Sussex average for four fish i suppose would be around £35,although there are cheaper options and of course more expensive.Catch and release is cheaper,alas not too many this way. Rods and reels need not cost mega bucks and neither does line,just look around-go to your tackle shop,if they stock fly gear and have a waggle with some rods.For small stillwaters a six weight rod and line set up should suffice or a seven weight outfit.Depends really where you intend to fish.Take a look here http://www.flyfishingvenues.co.uk/list.asp...th+East+England Just type in the area you want,it should throw up a few venues. Have a browse through some of the back posts on here as you will probably find some of the things you need to know already disscused.

Mullarkeys do some for silly money.Trusted my luck a while back and ordered a 3 weight.Can't find a thing wrong with it at all.

Five pound max :lol:

Cheatttttttttttttttttttttttttttt boo hissssssssssssssssssssssssss

Never done any good with them perhaps i don't use them enough!!!.I do like to fish buzzers/nymphs,but will resort to lures and egg flies if the need arises,oh and indicators with buzzers . Yes agree far too much snobbery involved.I have even been told 'you should not fish for stillwater rainbows or browns,only wild river fish',yea right,like the rivers near me hold a good head of wild browns . If its legal and the desired method is working on the day,so be it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,i might become a yob with a blob yet

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhh its YOU Splashing out aint yer

No,but reports from another angler suggests that there is/has been an algal bloom and its hard,thats Lechlade.Busheyleaze is ok i understand. Can't be of much help on Frensham i'm afraid.Some rate it,others not so.Below is a link to some fisheries,might be of some help. http://www.flyfishingvenues.co.uk/list.asp...th+East+England

Likewise

Way to go :D

Hurst Farm up at Bridgnorth-if you need info/directions please ask me.Rainbows and browns,catch and kill and catch and release,£15 two fish and c/r after. Delbury Hall,Diddlebury-Ludlow area(MIGHT BE A BIT TOO FAR),cracking place,two lakes,c/r and catch and kill,very reasonable at £15 five hours take one and release as many as you want to. Cound bettween Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury Hanchurch,up towards Stoke.Think there are two small pools. http://www.flyfishingvenues.co.uk/list.asp...th+East+England Above link might help,just go to the home page and type in the area's you are interested in

I can think of a few trout waters with not only carp in,seems not to make much difference. Was you at woodchurch or Tenterden by any chance-both these venues have a fair head of carp?.

Will go along with the depth theory,find that and you will probably find em.Forecast is not good,cold easterly wind and wet so fish might be a bit deeper than of late.

No expert,but theoritically a 5 weight rod should be able to cope with a six weight line etc etc etc,will just load the rod up faster.Think i would stick to the line rating-rather than possibly underload the rod with a four weight

Why don't you google for info,should be plenty out there,or some of the specialist fly fishing web sites can offer pictures and info.No real mystery to it.Depends on what you are going to do-ie rivers or stillwaters,then are they large or medium to small!.Choose your tackle accordingly,seek advice from your local tackle shop or even go for a lesson or two before getting any gear. A 6 or 7 weight rod would suffice as a general guide for small to medium stillwaters with a matching line,possibly a floater to start with.Reel need not be an expensive jobby,plenty of decent priced large arbour reels out there. Backing line,fly line some flies and away you go

Not an easy one-all comes down to personal choice really.Guess a 9.5/10 ft rod would be an advantage on a reservoir or loch,more so if fishing from a boat.Don't know the river,so really can't comment. A seven weight rod should cover most eventualities-but may be too much for the river!!!!!!!.Again,depends how wide the river is,is it open etc etc.If its nothing more than a stream and well treelined etc then a shorter lighter rod would be in order. Personally if you can run to it a longer 7 weight for your loch and resevoir trips and a shorter lighter rod for your river work you would probably be better off.

Gotta get two of themssssssssssssssss :lol:

I used to fish any method on the Reservoirs at Hammersmith back in the seventies,before taking up fly fishing. Bear in mind,as the water warms,the fish will be higher in the water.Bright sun can push them down though.Float fishing with worm used to be productive.Just alter depth if nothing forthcoming.As stated above,try the margins rather than hurling anything out as far as you can from the off. Personally,unless the water is very cold,i would go with the float as opposed to ledgering.

As a smoker i can see both sides of the argument.I must admit that being in a smoke filled room particularly when eating is most unpleasant or in confined spaces such as when flying etc.However i do feel the ban is overkill.Many of the restaurants pubs etc have ample provision to accommodate smokers and non smokers alike.The ban is here and its not going to go away,infact i can see it being extended, and yes i feel the minority won. As i work outside,my hope is that ALL the gas guzzling vehicles chucking out all those pollutants are taken off the road or priced out of existance,as i am sure that they are doing me just as much harm if not more than my smoking.However i guess there are an awful lot of non smoking 4x4 drivers out there who would not agree

Shakespeare Worcestershire.Look on ebay,should pick one up from around £13.From the same guy,£13 posted-look on Complete fisher forums(www.completefisher.com),his name is Pitsford Pirate,used him a few times,he is fine.
