Lifelines Update

Both Rod and I are delighted to announce that our book ‘Lifelines’ has been selling better than expected. We produced 500 copies (300 hardback and 200 paperback). There are only about 100 copies left, which is tremendous considering the launch was late December 2021. The good news is that this success has generated a significant revenue; all of which has already been passed on to our two chosen…

Lifelines and Luke Jennings in the Express

We have been so lucky with our book LIFELINES – An Anthology of Angling Anecdotes, and more . . . We have already sold almost half of our stock.

We have now received a feature on one of our contributors; the internationally acclaimed author Luke Jennings, in a double…

Ruddy Marvellous!

Thirty five years ago I committed my most heinous of angling crimes. It was a beautiful simmer’s day on a Kent gravel pit. I spent many hours here as a teenager chasing the beautiful, natural carp. The fish were not big by modern standards; up to low twenties. Here, I whiled away many happy hours with my good mates, Mick Hollands the local angling legend and great friend, Trevor and his…

Destruction of Riverbank Habitat - Petition

Destruction of Riverbank Habitat – Petition

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/216090

Many of you will not be aware that the destructive removal of UK riverbank and canal trees, shrubs and other vegetation, and ‘in-river’ flora/weed growth is unlicensed and neither is it governed by any laws in most cases. Only in instances where the River, Canal or adjoining Land is listed as an SSSI protected area or where there are preservation…

Angling for Health?

Most non-anglers have a perception of fishing as a sedentary sport, where fisherfolk sit motionless for endless hours, staring at a float or a rod tip. Is this a realistic view of the UK’s biggest participant sport?

Well as an angler, I would, of course, dispute this belief. There are branches of our beloved sport, or pastime if you will, that do fit this image of a non-physical activity.…

Hurricanes and Barbel

As Hurricane Ophelia slammed into the shores of Ireland on Monday, Geoff and I headed to Robin Hood country to try and locate some late Autumn barbel. We targeted a couple of Worksop stretches and another club water.

The forecast was pretty good prior to leaving but the imminent landfall of Hurricane Ophelia meant that the forecasters didn’t really know quite what to expect. As we arrived at…

Early Spring Gold

March 15th…..A sad day for any river angler, as the 15th signals the end of the river season and the start of the closed season on flowing water. I enjoy the break and I’m sure it does the rivers and foliage good. That’s not to say I entirely agree with it but that’s another story.

So with the 3 month break now firmly in place, the weather has turned into glorious sunshine with warm days and…

Hampshire's Finest

Hampshire’s Finest

The title is certainly not a description of me or any other angler, but the fast flowing rivers that make Hampshire such an iconic destination for any river angling enthusiast.

Day 1 saw me treading those hallowed banks of perhaps Hampshire’s most famous of rivers; the Avon. The Avon cuts it’s way through Wiltshire and Hampshire before entering the sea at Christchurch, which is now part of…

Dorset Dazzlers

I’m not sure if the ‘dazzlers’ are the Dorset grayling or Geoff, Kevin and myself, although I think I know the answer!

A three day trip to the Dorset Frome had been planned and the forecast a day or two before indicated pretty favorable weather conditions, however it turned out to be tougher than expected. So the three Musketeers headed off in search of those legendary Frome monsters. As usual…

Chalk Stream Redfins

I might be wrong but roach seem to be making a bit of a comeback, despite the odds. In particular there are quite a few rivers that seem to be producing good numbers of red-fins including the odd clonker over the last season or two. Good news for us river anglers.

It’s quality roach like this that keeps me coming back for more!

I headed to Hampshire for a spot of chalk stream roaching. There…

Notts Bound

At last the opportunity arose to get up to Nottingham and return to the mighty River Trent. It’s been a long time since we cast into the murky depths of this amazing Midlands river. Geoff and I headed to our first of two destinations on a Worksop stretch. This area is a little narrower and in places, fairly well tree lined. Last time around and in my absence, Kevin managed to entice a stunning…

Wading for barbel

A return to the Wye is always something to look forward to. Generally the fishing is good and certainly the views are worth the trip, even if the fishing is a bit lackluster. There are always good opportunities to spot plenty of wildlife, particularly bird-life, so pack your copy of the RSPB Handbook of British Birds and you’ll be crossing off all sorts of species from the list. We often spot…
