Re: Rod Rings replacements or Making your own Rods - a local supplier The images you posted Reg, is that the finished whipping or work in progress? You are right regarding a right of passage, my Uncle taught me how to whip guides back in the 60s, and it has helped me out a number of times. I always start at the ring ends of the guide and work down the blank, remembering to secure a loop to tuck the finished cotton through the final few whips. Use only recommended dope to coat your work. Posted on January 18, 2023 at 11:25 AM

Re: Gravel Quarry near Manor Farm Reg you really cannot expect an en mass vote to be raised as an objection on behalf of BAA members through any one person. Better object individually through the link. Posted on January 16, 2023 at 8:05 PM
Re: Zander That's poor and smacks of corruption. I know restaraunts offer good money for zander, but a Midlands canal is not the sort of place I would want my fish supper raised in. Posted on January 03, 2023 at 6:32 PM
Re: Zander Do you think CRT would target an area where someone had caught Zander.so to cull them? As you say Zander are present throughout the canal system, I think they would take a more methodical approach. Personally I find the culling of Zander to be just plain wrong, they have become an established species and deserve to be left alone, they offer great sport for many, but of course the focus for CRT is very much Shad etc and using lottery funding on that worthless cause.. They employ students to do fish surveys in streams publish the damning results that the stream is polluted and do do diddly squat...nice work if you can get it. The Shad thing cost millions, they set up a monitoring station at Tewkesbury weir, complete with expensive cameras, of course they were nicked, Oh! well was the reply we expected that. Then the Diglis viewing exercise in wasting money, brilliant. They don't seem to be interested in coarse fish, barbel chub perch, but a good Shad is what they want.
