Thanks. Very much appreciated. I has already been a huge amount of work to get it this far. I am hoping that other anglers like yourself will help me by letting me know where things have changed. That way I can concentrate on maintaining the data rather than chasing around checking every little detail (as I am now). Eventually I hope to get the venue owners and clubs/associations to maintain their own details. If anyone else has any info / comments please let me have them....

Over the years I have got increasingly frustrated at not being able to find info on places to flyfish so for my sins I am now building a datababase of all the fly fishing venues in the UK. Currently I have basic location details on over 650 lakes, rivers and streams and I am adding more every day. I am also adding more detailed information to each venue to enable intelligent searching (eg where can I sneak off to on my way back up the M5 from that meeting in Exeter? Or where can I actually find some grayling?). There are other such 'places to fish' sites I know and some of the Scottish ones are really very good, but none covering England & Wales is aimed specifically at flyfishing, none is anywhere near complete (particularly regarding rivers) and none provides intelligent searching. You can see how I am getting on at www.FlyFishingVenues.co.uk So far I have got up to the letter G in terms of adding the detail but I expect to finish within a few weeks. I would really welcome any suggestions for venues to include (especially rivers), any corrections to the information I have and any feedback regarding the features of the site, ease of use etc... Thanks in advance Chris Loveys

Saltwater & Pike Fly tackle - what line rating?
Chris Loveys replied to fishfinder's topic in Fly Fishing
I use a 9 weight rod with a 10 weight line and can chuck even the biggest pike flies (9 inches plus). Rgds Chris L -
I use them in 10wt on a 9 wt March Brown travel fly rod & they chuck a big fly pretty well. Not exceptional - not like a Cortland 444 or 555 for instance but perfectly adequate... and cheap. Rgds Chris L
