You will be amazed how the can breed over the course of six months!
Have fun and keep fishing.

plus a hardy palakona spinning rod that needs a bit of tlc to get it back to its former glory.

they do seem to want to gather i could quite easily end up with a cane plantation in the spare room

Hello and welcome Mike, those lightning conductors will soon be a distant memory

Mike Welcome to the TFF, lots of good anglers with lots of info, enjoy.

thank you for all the welcome posts ,thoroughly enjoying browsing through all the sections and previous threads .
off down wales for short break then hopefully the rivers might be back in their banks for the end of the season. quite looking forward to trying out the cane rod i bought from chatsworth fishing fair bring and buy sale tent in the mid 90s. used it a couple of times then , since then its been mothballed (forgotten about) until sunday just gone when being accepted onto the forum i thought dust off that old rod ...... turns out to have serial no e31516 and the hardy crest on it which id never noticed .so anyway rung the nice chap at hardys museum and he reported that it was made in 1935 and it is a wallis avon . quite handy as thats what's written on the butt section but i always thought nah it wont be a hardy rod for £25-30 even back then .

A very warm welcome Mike

Welcome Mike! I was a member of PAAS until I moved down south in the late 1980s. Some great memories!
