        Just got back into fishing last year - just tiddlers off the local canal.

        Tried a local river and had quite a nice surprise!

            What a great surprise, no idea how I missed that when you posted….

              🙂 cheers Giles.

              I caught my first chub about a month ago

              Since then I've joined the local club, whos rivers 15mins walk away, so I'm hoping to get some larger chub and barbel before the close season.

              I'm addicted!

              Best of luck with the Bonefish!

                I'm keen to follow your Barbel progress.  One of my grail fish…..

                  Will keep you informed 🙂

                  We went out Chubbing and Barbeling today. 😠

                  …to a backwater as the rivers are flooded.

                  This tiny little stream has seen Barbel to 19lb in the last year or so.

                  My mate managed a 6lb bream and I got a small bream and a small perch.

                  Got to brush up my barbus tactics, more than a touch I think.

                    That is not the largest Perch I have seen…. 😉 😉 😉

                      It's looking like I may be going ice fishing for the first time soon.  This could be interesting…

                        I did it. Probably won't do it again but glad I ticked it off my list.

                        I'll admit that I don't understand the enthusiasm. There's no casting and you basically just sit around hoping for a nibble. People are like "oh it's fun, you just listen to music and drink." I say the same thing about bars and my house.

                        Think it, be it.

                          my brother asked me to go ice fishing with him last week
                          2 reasons i said no
                          1. i dont have the gear, snow suite, boots any of it
                          2. siting in a hut freezing cold to catch half frozen slow moving fish that have no fight in them doesn't do it for me

                          don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

                            You can do it with as little or as much discomfort as you want. Some ice fishing cabins are heated and have electricity, TV, etc. I think I'd prefer to suffer.

                              From two winters ago now. Not keen enough to get out in the winter time anymore, but the river here has some of the best cut throat fishing you could ask for and gets a ton of summertime visitors from around the world

                                    Some halibut from last summer when I was at sea. So tasty!

                                        Great pics all, really enjoying them. 😘

                                        My barbelling sessions have resulted in more chub, but I'm getting lots of advice from the members on the club stretch of river, so hopefully things will change soon 😠

                                          In about a week I go Bonefishing for a week in Andros, Bahamas.

                                          4 weeks ago I set myself the goal of tying at least 2 flies per day between than and when I left.  I'm just about on target:
