    I use exactly the same set up as chuby, but I use an Airflo floater; there has not been a problem with them for about five years but the myth still persists; indeed the ridge tactical ultra supple is the straightest floating line you will ever use. It pains me to say it but their lines are better than my beloved Orvis.

    As long as it's not a floating line... I find they all have memories that are more permanent than an Elephants! :angry:

    Not so the new Airflo Ridge Ultra Supple Tactical Line are the straightest lines I have ever used way better than my Lee Wulff, Orvis or Courtland; that old myth has been well an truly busted.

    Ebro Roach

    I recall that when i first fished the Ebro at Riba Roja a guy in the party quiver tipped sweet corn and had some nice red fins many above 2lb, I was happy just catching decent Carp on bigger baits.

    I also had some decent Roach, when I was Mullet fishing on the Rio Ter near Estartit, (never got a sniff of the Mullet though).

    Maybe felt sole waders just aren't the done thing on UK streams. :fishing:

    In fact it is just the opposite Felt soled boots are by some way the commonest sole used on wading boots in the UK (for Game fishing anyway), the newer compound soles are just starting to catch on and hopefully replace them.

    Countries like New Zealand have banned felt soled wading boots for some years now in an effort to eradicate any disease that may be spread as a result of their use.

    My daughter's moving to Northumberland this weekend.

     

    I expect I'll be taking my fly-rods when I pop up for the occasional visit :)

    You will have to let me know when you are going up and see if we are around at the same time. It is also worth taking up your sea gear but not the Mullet outfits whilst they are there they are thin on the ground.

    Any one going to brave the cold this weekend?

    Sue and I were out on Saturday still water Trout fishing in Devon and very good it was to; we had five fish between 2-3lb in a morning session. All the fish were up in the water despite the cold and were taken on floating lines and demsel nymphs, or olive green lures as I prefer to call them.

    I can recommend the Ebro I used to do a lot of fishing on the river and as Sportsman says it's not just about Catfish there's Carp, Barbel, Mullet Bluefish Leerfish and Black Bass.

     

    There is no need for you to bivvy up for the holiday either there are guides operating out of the resorts of Salou and Cambrils who specialise in running day trips to the river and they will arrange bait, licences etc.

     

    Then again you could always go to Cuba and do some proper fishing!!!
