Par For The Course – Carping with Allan Parbery

Common 583x300

Par For The Course – Carping with Allan Parbery  It’s a few years since I did any serious carp fishing but I have to say I do enjoy it, especially if I can get into the right mindset. Most of my recent carping has been short session stuff, mostly stalking or floater fishing so when [...]

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.

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 [...]

New Season News Well the long wait is finally over. As June 16th approached I was buzzing to get out on the rivers and start fishing again. Quite what made me so excited this year I haven’t a clue but I was straining at the leash as the big day approached. My main desire was to dig [...]

Some Like It Hot… Work on the next volume of Barbel Days And Ways continues apace and the schedule is becoming demanding. It’s also pretty punishing in the heat. Stu and I slipped down to the Welsh borders hoping to fill our boots on the Wye but to say the conditions were against us would [...]
