  1. I'll be ultra lighting for chub and perch aswell and my usual barbel fishing
  2. F - flys did well for me last season on the rivers . klinkhammers are also worth using . I don't use wets or nymphs if I can help it but the spider patterns and hares ears caught me fish when I had to use them
  3. I had a go on the canal a few years back and caught on flys I'd knocked up with tinsel off the Christmas tree . Didn't get anything of any size but I did catch . It's not really any different to lure fishing in that if you put a fly or lure in front of a pikes nose they will more often than not just react and take it rather than think about it .
  4. Yes still got the gear . Where abouts are you based and what model delks are they
  5. Im looking to swap a like new drennan silverfish 13ft float rod and ready rod sleeve , shimano exage 3000sfd reel and daiwa 125m closed faced reel plus bait smock , landing net and a bit of terminal tackle for a pair of either delkim ev's or pluses or maybe steve nevilles . Either pick up from accrington or I could deliver/meet depending on distance
  6. I only use floating lines as 90% of my fly fishing is dry fly . I use the cortland 444 peach floater in 5 weight for rivers and small stillwaters and 7 weight for bigger waters . I also use a greys platinum 3 weight on brooks but its not as good as the cortland 444
  7. I dont know why more shops dont sell them , its not like they are any more expensive than the cheap and nasty shads most shops sell . Anybody looking for a good range of soft plastics should have a look at AGM products and lure world (who also do mikado fishunters) . Manns action shads from soveriegn superbaits are also good in all sizes
  8. Anything with yellow will be good for perch . Another cheap soft plastic to to try is the relax kopyto shad . They might look like just another shad but they are very soft and have a top action . Ive had loads of perch and pike on the yellow and the white ones
  9. the ibf have ordered a rematch within 90 days
  10. Ive used them and maxi mingers and caught on them everywhere i tried them .The minis are very small , only about 3in long and 27 gram so they are ok on shallow venues but if your fishing deep water a springdawg or bulldawg size lure will be a better bet .The pike shop sell some dawg copys that are cheap but decent quality . My favourite dawg copy was the now discontinued fox shallow devient , if you can find any of them they are well worth getting.
  11. Mk3m finder and 3 magnetic collars for sale . Collected from accrington or could meet/deliver upto an hour away . If you want pics I can email them . £180
  12. Ive used helle and mora for years but im hoping to get a joonas kallioniemi puuko or lance ockenden pocket pal in the new year
  13. All my permissions in yorkshire have been wiped out this year
  14. Went down for a tv at 9 and the assistant said they had sold out by 8 this morning .
  15. Now sold .My mates asked me to put this on for him due to marriage break up . Mk3m and 1 collar £110 . Its collection only and hes based in Haslingden . If your interested pm me and ill give you his number
  16. My mates asked me to put this on for him due to marriage break up . Falcon f19 in 177 with silencer and ir mildot scope and pump £280 or £300 with a gun cabinet . Hes based in Haslingden and its collection only . If anyones interested pm me and ill give you his number
  17. Thought I recognised you and that water , I've had a few 20s including 2 at the same time off there and all bar one came from the margins
  18. I'm sure I've seen you before on a local water , can't remember which one but the clubs I was in were hbaa , Wigan , southport and haslingden .
  19. Nearly all the grayling ive had have come to F-flies in black , olive and hares ear colours . The rest have come on partridge and orange and snipe and purple spiders and all came from fast water
  20. Where abouts in lancs are you . Nice pike by the way
