Hooklengths for running line

It is a long time since I fished rivers so I don't know whether this little tit bit will help you superstars of today. We were always told to get your float and end gear as high up in the water as you could on retrieve, It didn't matter if you used single or double maggot or caster. Looks a bit ung...

River Avon Barford

I had 9.11 of dace off the end peg - 4th in section. Slightly disappointed as I was struggling to catch down the middle where the flow was and discovered too late that they were behind some stick ups across. I was still catching at the end and should definitely have had a bit more.

See at the Joseph Arch anyway - I'm filling in for a team below the weir .... which is rather different in chara...

C section is the best one above the weir ..... But a and b are more even. It's a lot like Sutton bonnington ... But deeper and fewer fish! :D

Not sure how it's fishing at the moment, there haven't been any matches on it since the festival in july ... reported in current match fishing mag i think? but September is usually the best month for above the weir. It's slow and deep .... Top 5 territory on a lot of pegs. I'm not really the person ...

Well done to Maver image. Hi Joff ... Did you see what young James drakulic had for 3rd? Edit .... Just seen on Harry's Facebook page that James did indeed have chub. He's battered Bud off the next peg ... Did he have the Isbourne chub? James is a very good talent as well ... Although it makes me fe...

Bill - my list was just a starting point - feel free to add your thoughts ....
On a personal level I'd love to add Ray Mills and Ray Mumford - both great team mates at different times .... but they probably wouldn't make the cut :D

Cheers Choppy! what did I say last week ..... Thames doesn't really work for Hemp! To be fair - I drew an absolute flier and should have won from it .... Once I started catching on Hemp I should have stuck to it for the rest of the match ... but I had a few unproductive looks back on caster which ha...

Congrats to Phil Wintle as well ... His second national win. He won my first national, a div 3 on the Leeds Liverpool in about 1987.
