@TwopTwips @chriscodown most clocks do it automatically. Unless you are poor? In which case, you cannot afford to move to Spain.

This is the scraggy old fly I caught a 22lb pike on yesterday. Does anyone know what its called? I have no idea!

[The Compleat Angler @TheCompleatA]

Today I caught a 22lb pike. A man has just jumped from space.

I come second.

[The Compleat Angler @TheCompleatA]

So Carp Anglers. If you are yanking in tench. Stick to your swim, maybe just change the size of your bait.

[The Compleat Angler @TheCompleatA]

Last we proved that Tench do not spook carp and the carp are far more likely to feed alongside tench than not. At least on our lake.

[The Compleat Angler @TheCompleatA]

Also we are using bright pink leaders as well as khaki to gauge fish colour recognition.

[The Compleat Angler @TheCompleatA]

Today at our lab we are testing the affect of PVA bags to water quality. Also measuring levels of smell to fish. And you…?

[The Compleat Angler @TheCompleatA]

I’m hearing rumours the Perch record has gone again in the UK. Has anyone heard this? Apparently it has destroyed the previous record?

[The Compleat Angler @TheCompleatA]

In the bag! Second carp on a pike Fly! Left stationary whilst straightening the line. Smash. 8lb common!
