How else would they blow their nose.

Thanks chaps

Had some Peacock quill in my garage for some time now and on the hope I make the Wingham list am looking to make some extra long wagglers, Last time I made this style float was in my youth for fishing windy drains and I seem to remember gently "waving" the bent quill over a naked flame, Is this o.k or are there any better methods?

Congratulations to him, Wow what a slab, looking forward to the pic`s.

Steve you have E-mail. One of lots me-thinks

Brings back a lot of early childhood memories, I used to live in London road alongside the river Cray and fished it lot`s as a teenager and everyone thought I was mad! Caught a Dace of 1lb 1oz from the stretch at Bourne road!! along with chub roach dace and perch.Tempted to pop along and re-kindle my passion for the river some time this year.

Interesting stuff, Tempted to pull one from my pond to check the theory out!!

Superb!! Fabulous markings. ( no-body forcing boilies down it`s throat: what a gut!! )

Jammy bugger Tony!! Wahay or should that be wahoo?

Thanks for the update steve,will be watching with eager anticipation!!

Possible hybrid?

Absolutely fabulous Den thanks for sharing it with us.

Very much deserved! well done and thank you to Leon and team.

Now that might make the fishing a bit more of a challenge: whose s**t can catch the most, Any suggestions?

Good question Anderoo, I do occasionally fish one or two of the commercial lakes in Kent as they tend to cater for the family and female anglers by way of toilets etc, Providing you dont get suckered into whacking out large baits on heavy rigs attatched to baitrunners and alarms they can give you an enjoyable day out, That said if they were the only option I would follow Leon`s reccomendation or play more golf

Cheers chaps, Looks like i`ll just have to enjoy being on the river:Beats work anyday!

Thanks Peter, Needed something to motivate me after checking next weeks weather: Heavy snow and 30 mile p/h winds!!

Hi all, Looking for some info from the norfolk pike brigade. Up on the Bure next week and usually concentrate my October / March efforts around the boatyards and cuts with reasonable success, During the warmer months I have better luck from the main rivers: The question is: are there any pike feeding in the main river,perhaps from the slack areas like the inside bend horning yacht club? or would I be better off sticking to the boatyards and cuts? Dont need specific info as I prefer to do my own legwork but just interested to hear others views.

Big thanks to Paul for organising this,Finished the day with two grayling two trout and a couple of chub around the three pound mark ( and a little parr!)found timsbury harder today although it looked great,Lost two trout had one brownie and around eight smallish grayling ,and the wife even caught today! Fabulous weekend with great company.

Good luck to all,

Tallyho!!

See you in the morning, If I get away early enough I will try and find Asda`s if not see you at the fishery. Have booked for Timsbury on the sunday but got a little lost finding it at last years fish in so if anyone can give me directions I would be gratefull, I am staying over at the hotel inn southampton west.( got seven pints of maggots for me and the wife for the two days? I tend to feed heavily so IF you are going to drown yours at the end of the day please think of me.(also taking paste,flake, meat, corn, loads of hemp and oh yeh worms ! Drive carefully

And if any specie of bird is gonna cop it let it be the cormorant!

possibly, check out the a** hair on the non fishing forum if havent already but very

Hi pondplopper. If it`s early march try contacting canterbury and district angling club they have several waters and I believe they still issue day tickets for the stour at grove ferry and plucks gutter: havent fished there for a few years but used to be some of the best winter river fishing in the land, Grove ferry can be very "swimmy" Boat yard bend always a good bet.
