I'm off to Hereford on Monday for my annual trip to the Wye. @snorky hasn't commented on the state of the river lately so I'm not expecting much. Think I'll just chill for 5 days.
Have to admit, I don't fish the river stretches Docklow offers. Not sure I would know where to start. If I can't pole fish I am lost :-)

I'm the opposite, I don't possess a pole even though I know there are times when it would be a killer method. The reason is that I'm too old to learn new tricks. I'm learning fly fishing but, even though I'm now fully retired, I just feel I'm running out of life time and too much to learn now.

There is a bit of that in me too, but really I am just lazy. Pole fishing is really simple mate, you would pick it up in a heartbeat.

Certainly more straightforward than casting a fly or even fishing a waggler well reallyThere is a bit of that in me too, but really I am just lazy. Pole fishing is really simple mate, you would pick it up in a heartbeat.

I do like the waggler, it's probably how most of us started. I even play around with a light feeder rod once in a while. But I always revert to pole. I catch so much more.

Just so accurate.

Haven't heard anything on coarse fishing mate. I will keep my yugs open and let you know.I'm off to Hereford on Monday for my annual trip to the Wye. @snorky hasn't commented on the state of the river lately so I'm not expecting much. Think I'll just chill for 5 days.
On a sadder note my good friend and retired Ghillie of the beat I fished until this season, Tony, sadly passed away last weekend.
Great bloke, top mate, and a fantastic angler.

So sad. Seems to be a lot of bad news about at the moment. Maybe it's our age.
