Dear Diary – Part Three
Lets drift back to June 1992 and dip into a fondly remembered series I wrote for David Hall’s Coarse Fishing. This is Part Three. Search the site and you’ll find Parts One and Two. I’ll continue to upload more instalments as time goes on. For now, just click on the image below and it’ll open [...]
Playlist Compilation
I’ve had good feedback about the music tracks I’ve been including in various articles and I’m sure folk would play them more than once if they didn’t have to go trawling through dozens of pages to find them so I’ve decided to pull them all together here in one convenient place… As ever with shared files the odd track may [...]
Effective Barbel Rigs – Part Two
After reading Part One I’m sure that some of you were left thinking, “Is that it? Surely there’s more to it than that! It’s not fair! You must be keeping a secret up your sleeve…” But the plain truth is, no, I’m not holding anything back. There is no Holy Grail out there; there is no [...]
2010 – Almost February Blog
Last Gasp Scribblings… Sorry folks, not a lot of fishing in this offering.

Staying at the historic Caer Beris Manor Hotel at Builth Wells, we will explore the river together [...]
2010 – Mid-January Blog
Get Out There And Give It A Go! In the last blog I showed it was quite possible to catch fish in these arctic conditions providing you are determined enough. Either that or you’re completely bonkers! But seriously, you really can go fishing in what appear to be terrible conditions and face one of angling’s toughest [...]
2010 – January Blog – Happy New Year!
We roved around, rarely spending more than ten or 15 minutes in a swim. You either catch early or not at all and it’s certainly not a case of feeding until they have it…
