That would be the Hardy Marksman Supero Bullhead Smuggler ? Nice rod.

I'm now setting my sights to catch the smallest species like minnows and sticklebacks..
My main objective is to catch the smallest bullhead possible from the lower Thames, the problem I have is which tackle to use?
Pole or rod ?
Simon, Did you ever get an answer to this OP?
Also - anyone got any suggestions for the best rod and end-tackle for gudgeon fishing in a commercial fishery with a number of hooligan carp in it?
Am thinking of modifying an old fly rod to give me the feel of a battling gudgeon but with enough forgiveness in it's action to tame a F1 on fine tackle. Any better ideas?
..The very same rod that I mentioned earlier in yer other thread,
I'd go for a quality picker or something similar ....
Cumon spill the beans, where can I catch a stone loach around these parts?

Setrington beck, tributary of the river Derwent
Settrington Beck may technically be a chalk stream. However, where it's relatively natural, it's barely more than a trickle. Once it tracks down from the Wold tops into the Derwent Valley, it's little more than a highly modified drainage ditch. Real streams and rivers tend not to run in perfectly straight lines with 90 degree bends!
There's also the Gypsey Race in the Bridlington area. Unfortunately, this one is another barely there watercourse. I lived close to it about twenty years back. In places that it was marked on old maps, it hadn't been seen for decades.
From an angling point of view, only Driffield Beck is a viable chalk stream. None of them are anything like the famous southern chalk stream rivers.
