  1. Does anybody know where I would be able to find any information on a rod made by Ogden Smiths Ltd? I have one of their old rods but can't make out what the writing on it says. All I can see is Fly Rod - Ogden Smiths London - 9ft. There are other bits of text which I can't make out. There is a number stamped on the reel seat - was wondering if his could be some kind of serial number???? I originally bought this to be part of a static display along with a vintage wicker creel, but I am now wondering if its worth restoring it and using it. Any ideas/thoughts?
  2. Thanks for all the advice FF2, I have had a word with the farmer and he is happy for me to fish!!! Just waiting for my new 7' #4 rod to arrive . I'll report back on any catches:D.
  3. Thanks for all the advice, I have now bought a Shakespeare Oracle 7' #4.
  4. Thanks for the info. Think I'll stay well away from RT X-cite! Sound like a bit too much X-cite-ment for me
  5. Anybody? Any comments on the general build quaility of Ron Thompson rods? Has anybody ever used a Ron Thompson fly rod?
  6. I've been thinking of buying a Ron Thompson X-Cite Fly 7' #3/4 to use a little river near my house. Anybody know what they're like?
  7. I have a Diawa Whisker WF 98-9'6" and is rated #6-8
  8. Hi all. This is my first post on this forum so please forgive me if it's in the wrong place! I have recently moved from London to Oxfordshire and am after some advice/help. The only afforadle place to fish around here is Farmoor ii and so far I have had 3 fish (brand new stockies) from 4 visits. The river Ock runs past my back door (well it's about 150 yards away really) and this seems like much more fun! The house I live in is owned by the farmer whose land the river runs through. What I need to know is how I can find out if there are any restrictions on me fishing this river, or is it just a case of me getting permission from the farmer? Any advice would be appreciated.
