New Film Clips
Posted by admin on October 25, 2010 · Leave a Comment
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 [...]

2010 – End of October Blog

Ice on the car windscreens this morning doesn’t bode well for my trip to the Severn in a day or two. Guess we’d better get used to the fact that Winter is around the corner and the days of easy fishing on rivers are now probably over until next June. Oh well, mustn’t grumble, it’s been a [...]

I fished the tidal Trent last week. Although the water level remained high and carried a bit of colour fish activity was parctically zero. For a midweek day I’ve never seen the place so busy with a good ten anglers in less than 800 yards of river. Time for pastures new, I guess. I [...]

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
Posted by admin on October 9, 2010 · Leave a Comment

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 [...]

Settle down, make yourself comfortable and prepare to be filled with disbelief, for the tale I am about to tell will be doubted far and wide but I swear to you, every word is true. I haven’t been taking mind altering drugs or even hitting the whisky bottle, this is simply an account of the [...]

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 [...]

Dare you enter the Devil’s Arse? Hmmm, hardly the kind of poster you normally expect to see in a gift shop window unless of course you’re in the Peak District village of Castleton where you’ll find a cave of that name. It goes without saying that this causes much giggling and guffawing among the countless school trips arriving on [...]
