I think this is a blast from the past! You used to be able to fish at Easter on the Broads, but not any more. I assume you have to treat the broads as part of a river system and as such the close season must be observed. Peter Waller is probably the man to ask. Colin

Gaffer, Sounds like a good oppotunity to kit up for Pike on the fly as well? A 9' rod rated at 9# plenty of backing [careful with braid, it tears your skin to bits]I would go with 30lb mono, Shakespeare do a Pike Fly Line with a steep forward taper also a cheap large capacity salmon reel. You are up and Carping, as well as Piking, as for the ducks, perhaps a catapult? Colin

Can anyone explain why on a water of 800 acres, some idiot in a boat has to drift straight onto the shore I am fishing [into head a wind I might add] and completely mess up my fishing by starting their engine 10 yards out? I never had another pull! All they could do was say the wind was wrong?? Not them Eh? Colin Rant over

Yes!! Have a look at www.pikeflyfishing.co.uk and ask away!! Colin

Doug, My part of the UK is East Anglia [the bit that sticks out towards Holland etc] fairly low lying and with very few trout streams or rivers. Mainly reservoir fishing here or small lakes. Mainly stocked rainbows and a few browns. Use search engine for Grafham Water Fly Fishing Assoc. [gwffa] and also Rutland Water fly fishers. You will find links to many different waters and hopefully an insight into the trout fishing scene over here in the east of England. Our season is just starting and I have had 1 trip to a small reservoir, Ravensthorpe in Northampton shire, so far. It's catch and release, I caught and released 3 rainbows to about 2lbs. Next w/end sees another reservoir open [Pitsford again in N/hampton], the Grafham Water website gives all the details of openings and the various combinations of options available to the trout angler. Hope this helps, Colin

Hi Doug, Welcome to Anglers Net! Hopefully you will find all you seek here, unfortunately I don't have the answers to your questions, but, as we say over here "I know a man that does". I will post his email to you in the near future. I just need to ask him for his permission to do so. Have a look at www.rogans.com [i think] for hand tied Irish Flies [Very old Irish company] also look for the Fly Tyers Guild via search engines, lots of useful contacts. Extremely Tight Lines, Colin In the nicest terms I can think of, did you know your Caps Lock is on?

Try the irish roots website [no idea of the URL]they are probably the best start for you. I also have a complete set of CD's of the 1891 census of GB perhaps you could use these if you know dates and places? Colin

"AQUASURE" but only if you are not sending them back. Is that the Michelin factory in Stoke, where the ladies of the night parade up and down outside the chip shop on the opposite side of the road? Nearly got caught there one night, frightened us old fen boys nearly to death. Colin
