  1. I've had some nice roach of flies. In fact my first three fish caught on fly tackle were roach from the River Dearne while I was trying to learn how to cast. I also used to catch them when trout fishing on the same river further upstream. They go for small shrimp type patterns fished slowly. They don't snatch the fly like a trout does, just a gentle touch that you have to strike at quickly. In summer they will take dries off the top.
  2. Just be aware that Metacam and similar products are linked to tumours and problems with the liver. If you can get by with the herbal or fish oil alternatives then they are safer. If your dog is in its last couple of years then Metacam can be the best solution, but not for younger dogs.

    With 1/16 saluki in them ?
  4. Hmmm. Trying to slip a bream in to catch us out? ?
  5. We had a 'bottomless' pond in Barnsley. It was perfectly round being based on an old colliery air shaft and had a steeply sloping cobbled brick bed. It and a smaller neighbouring pond was owned by a scrap dealer who used to charge 1s/6d for a day ticket. There was an 'uncatchable' carp reputed to be 20lb. Carp were so rare in our town that bus trips were organised for locals to view it. I plummed it rather crudely by casting a 1/2 oz Arlsey bomb to the middle and let it free fall. It did go down a very long way. As well as the uncatchable Tinkers Pond also held tench, roach and perch that were

  7. Wonderful story Kev. There was always a bit of magic about those type of waters especially when you add some schoolboy excitement and imagination.
  8. Thee was one in Wombwell, just outside the police station. Panda sent straight into a newsagents window. The owner wrote "Car Park Full" on the boarding.
  9. Jim Corbett. He had a springer called Robin that he used to take on tiger stalks.
  10. Only 44 days, but she is one of the very few to have served two royals.
  11. I used to fish a trout lake near Wakefield and the owners allowed me to take a boat over the net into a small, overgrown neck end. It was like the mangroves, all submerged trees and overhanging branches. The water was crystal clear and I used to stalk perch using flies. The little ones up to 8oz were dead easy, but the 2lb fish were very, very wary. I tied some bloodworm flies that could be cast in front of a fish and just allowed to sink naturally. Any unnatural movement saw the perch melt away under cover. That was the best perching experience I've ever had.
  12. That's my view too. Every situation is different. I agree with foxdropper about creating competition, but I like to change my baiting methods to suit the swim, weather and other factors. Thing about my fishing is that I mostly fish totally different venues from one week to the next. One method does not suit all circumstances.
  13. Ask your new landlord. He'll put you straight. ?
  14. They think it aas accidentally damaged by a fishing boat.
  15. Hey, don't get paranoid about what other countries think. After all the Yanks haven't been able to get rid of any of their schit presidents since Nixon. Other than him they all served full term ; Regan, Dubbya, Trump......
  16. Are you changing your user name to shiitake?
  17. A paki with £billions in dodgy undeclared business ventures. Private Eye will be licking their lips with what they know about him.
  18. Is that a good thing. ??
  19. I turned up to beat on a shoot with three border collies. Could have cut the atmosphere with a knife. Got asked back though. Then later on a beater's day I brought my GSD just to have a walk round. Nobody else had brought a dog because of the powdery snow so she ended up flushing and picking up for 8 guns. I think she retrieved about 53 or 54 pheasants. Walked like an old table the next day. Judge a dog by the dog, not the breed or how many sixteenths saluki it is.
  20. The press bigged her up during the post Brexit trade negotiations. It was all " Superwoman Truss brings in another deal with Outer Mongolia worth £ hundreds to the yak industry". And now they've knifed her. Until the press are controlled we will never get true democracy.
  21. It's greb again. He's just winding people up for the sake of it.
