Tbh I thought it was the Tidal Trent some one and a half miles below Cromwell weir. Almost an identical background locally.
Glad it's not tho, plenty of time for the BB record to end up coming from...

Never mind Peter, we'll see and hear of lots being caught at the Lincoln do later this month from our mutual friend and star of the show.

I set off this morning hoping for a chub or to from my Trent tributary.
A bucket of bread mash and a few slices of semi stale bread for hookbait along with some cubes of luncheon meat that I forgot...

(Hopefully caught from a big river or the circus will come to town.

Like a rash Steve2!

I'm tempted to say a stretch of the river Trent, but I suppose it will all be revealed in the Christmas edition of the Angling times !

Looks nice!

A free running ledger rig with an air injected lobworm in the depths of a hard cold winter and on the right water a simple maggot/s falling gently thro the water column under a float following some...

Three trips out for a total of one hours fishing!
Enough I thought, so this morning Car loaded I set off to have a look at the Trent, not to fish, just look and believe me-- it's bad.
I had a run...

The only "vintage" item of tackle I use these days is a tiny chubber float I made when I was in my teens.
Another seven years and my old optonics will also qualify!

I've been using a Dragon carp headlite since around 2001. It's been totally dependable as a lite , never let me down in all those years despite all the foul weather it's endured but early this year...

That's a year book on some of the best Trent fishing you could ask for and then some !

Au lion 'dor,when I was carp fishing in the eighties I was on a lake and suddenly I had carp feeding in my swim, first time I connect the hook comes back well deformed.
Three more takes resulted in...

I have a very near reservoir about two miles away,
the much improved Rother and Don a similar distance and Aston park springs that I can walk to in some fifteen minutes from home.
I can fish for...

Where to go with all this rain and hi river levels ?
I went into my garage last night and sorted out my gear for a day on my Trent trib with the idea of a back up plan on a local stillwater if it...

I once made two counter length float/display cases for a tackle dealer many years ago. He asked me how much I wanted and I said either £100 or two Shimano Aero 6010 baitrunners which at the time...

Welcome to FM, hope you enjoy it here.

I think mine would be using a pole to catch fish- tried it but not for me .

I do have one but it's used solely for cupping rigs and bait underneath overhanging willow trees on my Trent tributary.

A big well done to the team.
Those guys can land a fly with such envious precision it's unreal !

I've said it before on here but after all these years I can still pick up John Hillabies "within the stream "
It's not entirely about course fish but he takes me there to the waterside, particularly...

Sylvanillo, well done, so glad you have been successful in your pursuit of catching some really nice fish and giving fm ers good insight to fishing on the Meuse .
