I coarse fished the Wye for a few hours with an old mate this week.
Newfangled cage feeders, rubber ledger stop thingies, meat choppers and funny diameter line. Its like the space age!
Anyways, no barbel caught, but plenty of chub.

Off to the Annan in a week for some proper fluff chucking.
If one of you guys can arrange some rain I would appreciate it :)

A nice float on the Teton this morning, just using a spinner as in the kayak, couple of nice Brooke trout, saw otters, ospreys, bald eagles, marsh harriers, turkey vultures, waxwings, not a bad time
 
Seriously disallusioned. Back on the nene at first light with my mate for the first time since June (3 pretty much blank sessions then). 2 perch for me, not a sign of a bream (not even any rolling), but by far worst of all 7 mitten crabs between us. I've fished the nene for just about 40 years and never had a crab before. Sadly I don't think I will ever be going back.

We blanked on the Severn yesterday. Conditions are shit at the moment aggravating the catastrophic neglect of our rivers.

It's horrific NN. Quoted your recent experiences in Ireland to my mate this morning. Not sure if any of it is reversable either!!

It's reversible as are the sea stocks but no fucker is interested as long as they can protect cormorants and reintroduce cute beavers and do features on Spring watch on "Sidney the stickleback".

It's otters round here. Local media bigging them up like mad. So cute to see so many in local rivers and backwaters!! As for the mitten crabs the whole river floor must have been covered with them! Like you say nothing will get done about them.
