Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Must have been the Severn in its heyday for barbel worms - Do you have any hair left at all now mate :D

It was the Teme actually! Not many people knew it as a barbel river back then, a well kept secret!

 

As for the hair, well, yes I still have a full head, it's just not quite as long as that these days :wheelchair:

Sorry but i know we all start from scratch but you should be better prepared in my opinion for your first outing. The internet has a ton of reading matter on how to fish

 

The most important thing not mentioned is HOW DO I UNHOOK A FISH using a disgorger and how to handle and return fish safetly

 

If you are in doubt about depths, what a swim is what bait etc then you need to take more advice and make sure you have 1. your licence ( if older than 12 ) 2. basic water knowledge and precautions 3. basic tackle knowledge,

 

the what bait will come from trial and error as will fishing over or under depth, most important thing from my memories is make sure you can land and un hook the fish with care.

 

Alot of shops sell gear and fail to consider what new anglers with little skill and cause damage to healthy fish.

 

Sorry to get on soap box but it had to be said from someone !

 

My god i sound like on of those old farts from Maggotdrowners complaining

In freezing cold if you are going for fishing its really important for you to start from the depth and put 6 or 7 maggots at a time, i hope with this count of maggots you can catch more than 10 fishes, after that you can put as much maggots as you need. Best of luck. :)
