BIG river-walk today (sore feet and I don't get them, even when walking in trainers). Saw a lot of pretty scrawny, sometimes heavily feeding, spawned-out chub. Biggest might have been five after a...

Dave, it sounds like they have a camera on their stretch of the colne, with face recognition software, only took a couple of days to catch up with you, after your walk.

Looking at a new stretch. Armed with a little bit of bait, too. River looked in fine fettle with just a tinge of colour after the recent rain. Everything wild and overgrown. Hard to find any proper...

Ok, I know this won't make me popular but I'll try never-the-less. I'm thinking of joining up either Uxbridge rovers or the Waltonians. Now I'm not asking swims, tactics, baits and so forth but a...

Good luck ,to you both,one thing worth mentioning ,both stretches contain a lot of carp to nearly 30lbs, so it might be worth beefing your gear up a bit.

From memory, the carp that my brother had was only a low teen, but what a fish! An old - no, an ancient looking - almost jet black in places, mirror that still gave a good acount of its self. From...
