Fishing
Asked this last year - and none of you heathens answered. Sod you, I thought.......but then I realised that not all are so enlightened as I and my kith (anglers of the rod).

Anyway, tomorrow’s the first day of the coarse fishing season. Anyone out?

If I get no response, sod you all again.

One of the funniest fishing jokes I have heard at 2minutes 10 seconds on the vid, in fact, the whole video is hilarious.

 For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I'm off to Harry Ramsdens if that counts as fishing. Our village has a river and a canal running through it as well as two carp lakes so I guess they'll all be out there dangling their worms. Defender 90XS SW

Never got on with river fishing, although I know plenty who love it.

What are the rules around the course fishing season. I used to do a bit of canal boating and those Guys (nearly always blokes) were fishing on the canal network throughout May.

I would like to try sea fishing. No trees to catch the fishing tackle on either on the beach or at sea.

All rivers closed from March 15th till June 16th (unless fly fishing for trout) - it used to be canals were too, but now most canals are open to fishing all year round.

Anyway, spent a couple of hours this afternoon on the Dove. My little piece of heaven. Stick float. Centrepin. A big chub, a few nice grayling and a couple of small brown trout. Lovely 😊

A quick question for you fishing experts. I have a Richard Walker split cane carp rod which I have had for about 50 years but never used, I swapped it for a split cane fly rod. It still has its original rod bag which has a couple of holes in it. It looks as though it wasn’t much used before I acquired it. So to the question, any idea what it may be worth?

I guess, like everything else, it depends on who the maker is/was and it’s condition. I’m not sure what the market is like for these rods.

A quick Google landed this (https://vintagefishingtackle.co.uk/product-category/rods/split-cane-fly-rods/) to give you some sort of ballpark idea. Your R Walker carp rod was probably worth £250-300, if in good nick.

Might be worth getting it valued. Good luck!
