i heard the preston one is much better, but cant get them in ireland ... will get some the next time im in the uk www.fishingmagic.com/review/reviewp.../1130/RER/2/v/2 EDIT: in retrospect i dont think they are the same style

there are loads of rivers that dont run south .... have a look at this map http://www.mdx.ac.uk/www/study/mapengwa.jpg

thats some mixture you are targeting ... try attaching a boilie to a 2 oz roach ... that should do it

are you feeding? .... very important ... as edd says "little and often" .... your time will come ... i started fishing when i was about 14 ... took me about 4 sessions to catch ... 15 years on and still learning ... fishing lighter with smaller hooks will increase your chances 10 fold! ... if there are smaller fish in your water, try using maggots on a size 18 hook .... you are bound to get bites then! all the best matt

looks like a roach to me mate ... just by the shape of the body and the fins ... ide have more of a hump going towards the dorsal dont they? ... and ide are longer and skinnier?

be careful if its coming from burnley fishing tackle mate .... bought a pole roller off them last month on ebay, almost a month later a different pole roller turns up, and they overcharged me postage by over 4 pounds ... still no replys to numerous emails. Funny they are quick enought to accept payment through emails, but not to reply. Sorry Chris if its nothing to do with you, but seen your link, and it says they are a partner of yours [ 16.

its on on Wed & Fridays i on BBC 2 NI ... good show [ 14. September 2005, 12:49 PM: Message edited by: the nudster ]

i believe you can hair rig a couple of them ... i think i read a few years ago carp would take them ... though never tried it

fair play izacc .... should i be worriewd for the stretch in general if nearly all of the roach are covered in them? cheers

on the top right hand corner there is a search function mate

use a disgorger for smaller hooks mate ... also barbless hooks i feel are much better when fishing for smaller fish ... combine the two and youll find unhooking fish much easier matt

is that an actual desease then? ... forgive my ignorance (or naivity if being wound up) ... any ideas on the cause or implications?

on a kind of related note ... do you see the little black spot on the bottom right of the pectoral fin (think thats right) .... i have recently started fishing a canal, and the roach are covered in these ... any ideas?

is it not a fully scaled mirror?

thanks for the replies guys .... email sent cheers matt

i did that last time ... never again ... still ended up framing

Hey all, Just getting back into the match scene after a break of around 8 years. The thing is that i dont want to make a right pratt of myself from the start, so could anyone tell me if there are any standard rules (apart from the own waters restrictions)as its been so long i cant even remember the basics any more Thanks Matt [ 19.

no problem, thought it was a longshot ... the nudster was the first thing that spread to mind after my bird has been winding me up about him and his big cheesy smile for the last few days after she caught me swatting up watching a dvd of his .....i insisted that the man is a legend! .... she however insists he is a gimp

Hi All, New here, and looking forward to making a decent contribution to the forum. Im fishing a match at lakelands for the first time here http://www.lakelandfishery.com/ on saturday, and was wondering if anyone has any experience of fishing it ... i know most people on here are from the UK, but there maybe some Irish anglers, or UK visitors that have fished here ... any advice on methods/tactics would be appreciated. Cheers Matt
