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 [...]

Sorry about the delay in publishing this March Blog but I’ve been doing far too much fishing of late and when time can be freed up the paid work has to come first. I have to pay the bills somehow! If the writing appears rushed or the imagery falls below the normal high standards I [...]

Well, the news is that this winter has been the coldest for 31 years – even longer if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. It has been a bit grim, hasn’t it? I’m writing this on the morning of Tuesday 2nd March. According to the Met Office spring starts officially on 1st March and [...]

In The Beginning… I’d turned Colin (Dyson) down on the previous occasion I was invited to write articles for the magazine he edited, Coarse Angler, and thought nothing more of it. Who the hell was Bob Roberts to be writing in such an authoritative journal? The But he came back a year later because what [...]

As you might have gathered, I’ve been away for a little while. We all deserve a break now and then and there’s little in life to compare with the pampering, fine dining and opportunity to soak up of a bit of sunshine you get on a cruise, especially when you’re on a brand new, state [...]

Read the inside story… It’s barely a year since Stu (Walker) announced that he was going to film our sturgeon adventure. He’d bought a camcorder, read the instruction manual and was raring to go. We thought he was slightly mad. Surely you had to have some talent to make a movie? The planning meeting [...]

Well, the end is nigh. Another week and it’ll all be over on the rivers for three whole months, unless of course you’re an Angling Times reader because they think that a complete non-newsworthy story and a puffed-up readers poll can change things. According to the story a huge majority ‘of readers polled’ want [...]

I made my most unlikely writing debut in Coarse Angler magazine way back in 1987. After corresponding with Colin Dyson for quite some while, picking his brains on all manner of subjects, he cajoled me into writing three articles for his eyes only – at least that’s what he told me…

December Blog (Part One) It’s arguably a bit early for writing the December Blog but I doubt I’ll be getting out too often in the coming weeks. With the weather so bitter right now and a bit of extra water to boot, some of it snow melt, the rivers are a bit tricky to [...]

November Blog Stuart Walker and I finally launched our debut DVD, Barbel Days And Ways Volume One on November 1st. Much of the previous year was spent on the creative side – planning, filming, editing and so on. I’ve made a dozen of more angling films in my [...]
