Has the Calm Productions website been spoofed?

On a reduced scale, the situation is very similar in the North West too. Our association's drains are now becoming unfishable during the summer months due to weed. We have (until this year) been maintaining banks ourselves to give us access to platforms we installed - but now find that slipshod ...

Hello Andy, I'm in the north west and I'm a member of three Associations - Southport & District, Liverpool & District and Wigan and District. All three run their own matches for their members, although Liverpool's are opens which anyone can fish. All three run matches on canals with Southport ...

Err - hang on a minute...

That should read: Tommy Fairhurst (Lancashire MG) - 28-8-6.

He's one of ours - not one of theirs

I was stood with Alan at the last match he fished, which was a Wigan & DAA cup match at Leyland Mill Lane (Haigh Hall) at Wigan, around two months ago. While waiting for the draw to start, Alan Whalley, who is infamous around the North West for his own canal angling exploits, came up to Mr McAtee ...

Long before I ever fished the Trent (being a southerner although I did love it and made regular trips in the 80's) I was captivated by a Match Fishing article on Johnny Moult. The guy carried all his shot mixed in a tin, had no idea whether his battered stick was shotted with 6's or 4's, was using ...

Not sure where you heard that Joff, but there are only 33 teams in the Division 2 National this year.

Never fished it to be honest - I just happened to remember where it was :) That colour comes from water from the mines, which were the reason the cut was dug in the first place. Dodge is your man for venue expertise... http://simplematchfishing.co.uk/forum2/images/converted_files/yabbfiles/Templates ...

This is true Phil. Talk up here in the NW several weeks ago (when the issue of one of the squatt breeders shutting down first came up) was that Ashursts were in the process of building a new fly house just for breeding squatts. No idea what the latest update on that is, but the squatts we are ...

I suspect Dodge could be right.

We had an introductory meeting with the local CRT project coordinator in December 2012 and we were quite impressed with the number of initiatives he made us aware of, and the offer of help in several ways. We followed-up the meeting with several attempts to liaise with this guy to initiate some work ...

Stink bags are great for stopping water from nets getting on your other gear and the car and stopping the smell - that's all really. The only way to completely stop the transportation of diseases and water-borne infections from place to place via nets is to completely dry them after each use ...

I should add that the length being used for this match is approximately 4 miles long and there are no locks on it, so theres not much flow. Its predominantly a bread water, although caster, hemp and worm all account for good catches all the way along. You can do 15-20lb on a pleasure chuck without ...

There's a mix of everything you'd expect in a canal really, all the way along. Mainly roach, skimmers, perch. There are some shoals of proper bream which are quite territorial at that time of year as well as tench, a few crucians and there are some carp too as well as the odd chub and snigs. There ...

Thankfully, no longer are they doing it in my name. Until the balance is redressed in terms of the cessation of fleecing match anglers to prop-up the rest of their operations, they ain't getting a single copper coin off me for individual membership. Granted, part of my subs to two local Associations ...

I can think of several NW teams who might be interested in this proposal Joff. It's finally permeating through the ranks just what the AT have been doing & there are a lot of unhappy people around & about.
