2012 – Early February Blog
Sometimes I wonder where the time goes. Is it me getting older and slowing down? Or is it true what older folks say, that time speeds up with every birthday? Or maybe it could be that I’m filling my life with amazing things and living it to the full… 300 Not Out! Then again, this [...]
Caught In The Act – Update
It’s approximately a year now since Stu Walker and I launched into our Caught In The Act filming project. Taking everything we learned whilst making our barbel films and applying it to other species wasn’t too difficult but what began as an idea for one DVD has grown into a series of 4 DVDs, probably [...]
Wye Coaching 2012 – Sold Out
I’m afraid it’s bad news if you were considering joining up with me and Steve Pope on the Wye this summer and you’ve not already booked. It’s already a sell out! Despite running two courses instead of one, thus doubling the number of available places, every single one has been snapped up! I am running a waiting [...]
Only One Place Left!
Apologies if this sounds like I’m pushing hard but there is just one place left to fill on my Wye Valley courses this coming summer and it would be nice to tidy up the loose ends. The first week is already a complete sell-out with a waiting list should anyone drop out. The [...]
River Wye Coaching – 2012
The Wye Valley Experience How would you fancy a fantastic coarse fishing break , staying in a Grade II listed country house hotel (where you can actually fish for salmon, trout and grayling in the grounds, free of charge) and then take on the mighty River Wye’s chub and barbel shoals with a bunch of the [...]
Book Reviews
Well Christmas is coming and i’m sure a lot of wives and girlfriends will be looking for that special little present for you. Well, in case she doesn’t find it you can always point her in the direction of a good book. Or better still the Barbel Days and Ways DVDs… But enough of the [...]
Green Un Qualifiers 2010-11 Update
Afraid this part of the web site is a bit parochial. If you’re not a club match angler living in the South Yorkshire or North Notts/ Derbyshire then the following information is most likely not of much interest to you. But for those that are we’re talking about then this is as good as holding Christmas in May! [...]
New Film Clips
In the past decade I’ve been priviledged to travel half way round the world and back again with Stu Walker. Quite recently we began filming our adventures, just to create an unforgettable memoir. This in turn led to us making the critically acclaimed barbel Days And Ways series of DVD’s which feature some of the most [...]
The Complete Book Of Legering (Revised) Chapter 7 – The Dink Dink
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 [...]
The Complete Book Of Legering (Revised) – Chapter Five
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 [...]
