The best flies for fly fishing

Advantages: The knowledge of the fly
Disadvantages: Can get caught in weeds

...I am a fly fisher. I enjoy it much more than coarse fishing which is featured on the site. It takes time in pleasure my hobby and I have devoted many years to it ever since I was 7, I was so eager to learn. Fly fishing I feel is a great hobby and people should take it up. Flies are crucially to the sport, seeing that is what the fish is attracted to and how you catch it. *The fly first of all must be suited to the fish that you are wishing to catch (e.g. a rainbow trout is more partial to the brown and green flies, the 'pheasant tails' and 'dampshels nypmh'). *The type of water that you are fishing in (e.g. the clear waters of a well kept lake, the best colours would be white with black, white or yellow, the best fly for clear water would be the buzzer).On the other hand, the lakes that I am most fond of are the Lochs...

Avenue Angling, Norwich - The BEST

Advantages: Excellent service, products, prices
Disadvantages: You'll probably spend too much money

...are there including Fox, Daiwa, Shimano, Giant, Leeda, Shakespeare - all of them. And it is not just carp gear that is sold - pike, coarse, sea and game tackle is readily available. You could spend hours just looking around at everything. John and Martin are top blokes too. John likes his pike fishing and is always willing to help and advise on anything from where to fish, how to fish, the best tackle/bait etc.etc. I think John is also a bit of a sea angler. If you have a question then ask John. If he can help he will and he will always give an honest answer. This is not the case with most anglers, especially specimen anglers as they are very secretive! Martin is a keen carp angler. And just like John he is more than willing to help and offer advice. Be warned though - Martin is the salesman of the shop and is always keen to get...

Review of Avenue Angling Fishing Tackle Shop

Basic Tackle Choice Explained.

Advantages: Basic tackle choice.
Disadvantages: It's a bit long.

...with confidence in the dark. Other equipment you will require; Rod rests, Landing net, Unhooking mat, Keep net, Swivels, Beads, Tackle box (Seat), Rod Holdall, Disgorger, Forceps, Scissors, Knife, Superglue, plus loads of other bits and pieces, and finally a valid rod license. I hope that this review has helped to explain the basics of tackle choice for the majority of coarse fishing situations, but if it all sounds a bit too much you could always take up pole fishing.............. But that's another review, I think. Many thanks for reading and rating this review, sorry that it's a bit long but I've only touched the surface of this topic but if you decide to take up this sport may I be the first to wish you "Tight Lines". ©Stan2007...

Review of Fishing - General

Cosi little seat!

Advantages: Comfortable, safe
Disadvantages: heavy

...I was recommended to buy this car seat by a friend and now I can see why they rated it so highly. Which magazine have rated Maxi Cosi as one of their safest car seats and it's been a great buy for us. The seat itself is very well padded and comes with a head hugger which has extra padding on it which is velcroed on. You easily detach this once your baby has out grown it. The head hugger is really great though for when your baby is tiny. It gives that extra comfort and support which a newborn needs. The head hugger stayed in our car seat until our baby was 5 months old. The padding around the rest of the seat is really sound comfortable but not so overly padded that it seems too soft and therefore not safe. When the baby is sat in it it doesn't hunch them up like in other car seats, instead the baby is well supported and has...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

Get your omega 3, get a box of birds eye salmon fish fingers!

Advantages: Very delicious, great appearance, easy to prepare
Disadvantages: very processed and refined, a little expensive

...I'm not and never will be one of those people that purchase a lot of ready made and boxed foods. Although it seems the easier option when your too busy to cook a proper, healthy dinner, i always choose to ignore, easy microwavable meals. I suppose the shock horror stories and television documentaries that show these packet foods and what disgusting extra's they add doesn't exactly help or persuade me to purchase. But although I've never been a consumer of birds eye products, as i think their foods always look very processed and refined, the box of salmon fish fingers really caught my eye. I tried to resist the urge to shove it in to my shopping trolley, but the mouth watering picture on the front really didn't help matters. so eventually, i decided i would give it a try and see how it tasted. The price Shopping in my favorite...

Tackle, Baits and Watercraft

Advantages: 2 episodes 1 disc.
Disadvantages: Not For The Experienced Angler

...Andy Little is a renown angler and has been an angling journalist for many years. What he doesn't know about angling isn't worth worying about. This dvd is broken down into 2 episodes. The first part teaches you about tackle, bait, rigs, line choice and a look into Andys tackle box. The second part teaches the basics of watercraft and what tactics you should use in different situations. So lets start with How to take up coarse fishing part 1. Rod choice = 12ft two piece, 2 3/4lb test curve with a fast action. This rod will allow you to fish for carp at distance. The power a fast action rod produces not only alows you to cast great distances but also gives you great strength to play large hard-fighting carp that you may have hooked 100yds away. 12ft two piece 1 3/4lb test curve with a through action. This rod...

Review of How To Take Up Carp Fishing (DVD)

A corally fish.

Advantages: cute, soft
Disadvantages: retired

...From an early age, my friends and I were addicted to collecting TY beanies. For those of you who do not know (where have you been?), TY Beanies are a collection of little teddies in all forms of animals and teddy bears. Once you start a collection they are quite addictive. You find you are always looking for new ones and cannot stop buying them - havoc for your wallet, heaven for your collection! One of the Beanies is a fish, who goes by the name of Coral. Its such a beautiful name - I was obsessed with sea coral as a child so this is a delightful treat for me. Coral is very attractive to look at too. She is coated in a delightful mix of rainbow colours: blues, yellows, pinks. She reminds me of the Rainbow Fish book every child will have read at some point, something else we can relate to with this fish. She is not as pluffed up as...

Review of Ty Coral the Fish Beanie Buddy

Tackle and Watercraft.

Advantages: Learn a bit about tackle.
Disadvantages: No fishing!!

...or damaged you should dispose of the rod and buy a new one. If you were to hook into a large fish it could quite easily snap the rod in two, thus resulting in the loss of a fish and your rod. The reels chosen are bait-runners, these allow a fish to take your bait and swim at high speed without snapping your line. Your reels should be kept in a clean state and the clutch should be checked after each session for debris. The cleaner your reel is, the better. You will be able to cast further and play fish more efficiently. With line, you should choose to carry both mono and braid. The properties of mono allow you to cast great distances, and braid lets you bully fish out of snaggy swims. So by having a choice you will be able to choose the right line for the right situation. Tackle Box = Leads - Different sizes...

Review of Go Carp Fishing With Julian Cundiff - Part 1 (DVD)

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby.
