The Complete Book Of Legering (Revised) Chapter 7 The Dink Dink What a method this is. When first revealed in print in the Complete Book Of Legering I imagine loads of readers lifted an eyebrow and promptly dismissed it as a waste of time. It was their loss because I still get approached by [...]

Back in the early Nineties I wrote a book called the Complete Book Of Legering. It received tremendous praise from critics far and wide and very soon all 6,000 copies had been snapped up. And then the publisher decided to abandon the angling market. This left me with a dilemma. The book was still in demand but [...]

Apparently, those who fish rivers on a regular basis will have had their prayers answered this week. After weeks of drought the heavens opened and suddenly the rivers were rising like the clappers. Eighty locations were put on flood watch but within 24 hours it was down to a handful. The water we get these days [...]

It’s a bit short notice, I know, but if anyone fancies popping down to Brown’s of Leighton Buzzard on Saturday 2nd October I’ll be there representing Daiwa and you’ll also get a chance to meet the Korda team, too. If anyone would like their copies of the Barbel Days and Ways DVD’s signing I’ll [...]

Everywhere you look there are signs that autumn is approaching rapidly. Officially we’ve got another four weeks before the clocks go back but I’ve a sneaky feeling we’ll be well into winter’s transition by then if the misty mornings and fruit laden trees are anything to go by. Already there’s a tinge of brown to be [...]

The Trent beckons tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be heading above Nottingham and fishing for roach but can’t say for certain just yet as it has bucketed down in these parts over the past couple of days. Fingers crossed it’s been isolated heavy showers rather than persistent downpours over a wide area. Saying that the EA River Line [...]

Blimey, the past two weeks have been a bit of a blur and serious fishing time has been somewhat at a premium. However I have squeezed a bit of time in on the bank and although I’ve caught precious little of note it has been great fun and also whetted my appetite for things to [...]

What a hectic time of year this is! Since returning from Cyprus I’ve appeared on Tight Lines, spent five days in the Wye Valley, miraculously met five magazine and newspaper article deadlines, dealt with a mountain of visitor emails to the site and as I write I’m making arrangements to visit the Angling Direct store [...]

The stocking of barbel in stillwaters is a contentious issue with some individuals, so much so that they would see captively bred barbel destroyed rather than be released into ponds. But here’s a question for you: Can you define what a stillwater actually is? You see, to me, a canal is a stillwater, even though it [...]

Although the past month or so has been pretty hectic, as it always is at this time of year with so many fishing oportunities to take advantage of, I’ve been trying to keep on top of my fishing reading as best I can. Here are my thoughts about some of the books I’ve managed to find the time [...]
