2010 – Bonus End Of September Blog
Posted by admin on September 22, 2010 · 11 Comments

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 [...]

2010 – Mid August

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 [...]

2010 – Late July Blog (Part Deux)
Posted by admin on July 19, 2010 · 12 Comments

Welcome back to part deux of what must be the longest angling blog in the world. Mind you, no-one’s exactly complaining, are they? Well, that’s not exactly true. There is the occasional knob head who’s presumably fuelled by jealousy but I rather like that. Shows I’m doing something right.
I find it a little [...]

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 [...]

You know, I had a brilliant time at the Barbel Society’s ‘Running Water 2010′ show on Sunday despite the attendance appearing to be well down on recent years. With Dave Chilton (Kryston) and Gary Knowles on the stand next door the insults were always going to be be flying thick and fast. But I guess what [...]

Well, the curtain has fallen on another river season but could it be the final curtain? Well, some seem to think so. Personally I don’t think so but we’ll have to wait and see but I do think the closed season is the wrong length and it’s at the wrong time. Let’s be [...]
