Well it's been a while since I last blogged, mainly because I had a couple of trips that deserved an article so that took priority.

Graham's retirement do has made me think (probably due to too much alcohol) and I've realised that I'm becoming obsessed with barbel which is not a healthy state of affairs. During the session at Boundary I had a decent bream of...

20lb Barbel – You’re having a laugh!

I returned to fishing a few years ago having packed it all in back in the late 1980’s. On my return one of the biggest shocks to me was the amazing size now attained by many of our fish particularly barbel. If someone had said to me our whiskered beauty would reach such leviathan proportions I would have thought they were insane and had better get their scales checked.

Now before I...

SET DEEP IN a valley of the Lincolnshire Wolds, the Estate, which arable farmer and my new found friend George acquired some three years ago, are two spring fed trout lakes, a fattening (stew) pond, another lake and a small pond, both also spring fed.
As you do, I met George in the local, following one of our pub fishing club meetings.
He was running the trout lakes on a £17 a session ticket and was thinking, now he had settled in a bit, that the time had come to...

FOR ME, WITH NO MENTOR or family member to take me fishing, what got me into fishing from a very young age was my inbuilt lust for the countryside and all that was in it.
Born in Hammersmith Hospital, London, March 1949, my first 18 months of life were spent in Fulham, living at Uncle Ted's house, my mum's eldest brother.

My expeditions to Adams Mill, MKAA's stretch on the Upper Great Ouse, started in late November 2000 . Being only four miles from my home and with all the media reports and comment in the angling press, curiosity got the better of me. So I decided to go and have a look at this now legendary fishery.
If the place was as crowded as reported, with people queuing to get in at the appointed hour, I could trundle down to another MKAA water at Ravenstone, another couple...
