Steve Wolstenholme


There's a picture of Steve W hidden away somewhere in this section taken in the early 90s

Seem to remember him having one of the first Amorphous Whisker 16m poles. Let me have a waggle with it on a Super league match on the 16 foot.

All our yesterdays......even further back in time

How did we ever manage without Brennan & Hickman ?? I kitted myself out with the whole shooting match. Box, Holdall and Carryall (Without lid) Bought from Marks & Marlow no less.

I was basic but good stuff.

laying on

I was fishing the Derby teams of four, on a peg opposite Newton Solney's "Old Stretch at Willington i think. I'd been catching stamp Roach on the stick all day and thought i was doing well in the section. Half an hour to go i pulled out of a fish at the net, resulting in the rig tangling around...

poles and cyclists

I had two sections of my pole smashed to smithereens by a greyhound 18 months ago.  The owner was stood next to me, talking about the fishing and his dog had trotted off ahead of him - only to come pelting back towards us.  The bloke was stood between me & the dog, so I only saw it a split seco...

Cmon own up............

Yes they did. I do abit of hill walking and the gear we wear woulndn't be any good for fishing because we sit still. Mountain/Hill walking clothing is designed to get rid of heat and sweat IE: Gortex, Event. Whereas fishing is mostly a sedatery pastime so would require more insulation than moisture ...

Cmon own up............

I had a Dartex (sp) suit once, bit short on the body so it creased me and fu*king hot if you had to walk a long way. I ended up wearing my Hill walking kit when i fished. I found most fishing waterproofs wern't. It has been known for me to wear "some" of the missus's stuff, but not tights....

Is Match Fishing At An All Time Low ?

Heres a slightly different angle (No pun intended) There has been mention of catching 100lb on this topic twice i think. Iv'e never caught 100lbs of fish, i'd have liked to off a river maybe, but not anymore. But 100lbs on a commie could quite easily be only 10 fish, in a five hour match, 2 fish an ...
