Homersfield would be the one lol.
Don't tend to venture too far afield at the mo, due to work and whatnot most of my fishing is done in the summer stalking small pits in and around norwich.

You ever fished homertons @AnglingAnt. I think it's in Norfolk anyway. Recall seeing it on a John Wilson show. Looked like some water. Stunning
Not sure about homertons but i know there is a lake on the border of norfolk/suffolk called homersfield, but I havent fished it meant to be good though.

I'm thinking that an 11' rod would pick up / mend the line better if you were surface fishing with a controller further out rather than stalking close in .
Also would you need the extra length in certain swims to reach over , play fish around margin lillies / reeds / weeds ? .
That is a good point i hadn't really thought of that, maybe stick to an 11 for my surface fishing then.

Well I use my nash scope 10ft rods as my every day rods and also have the 6ft scopes as short session/river/canal/stalking rods, I can’t fault them in anyway, they pack down microscopically small and seem to be extremely strong capable rods, I used to use the dwarf 6ft rod(cheaper option) again extremely capable rod.
But in answer to your our question I can’t see any reason that a 9ft rod wouldn’t be suitable for stalking
I hadn't thought about a 6ft rod to be fair but i will take a look at some. how about surface fishing? you ever used your 6ft rod for that?

Hey guys,
I am in the market ( once i save the pennies) for a 9ft stalking rod and wondering what you guys would recommend, willing to spend up to 120ish on the right rod, is this a sensible amount? or am i going to have to save for longer? and also can 9ft rods double up well as surface rods? I have always just used my 11ft rods to do stalking and surface fishing but fishing tight spaces is not always so easy as you all know. for example is this any good for the money?

Or is the decent price a reflection of quality? I will of course read reviews but just wondering what you guys think?

Just been looking at scaling down my tackle anyone got or had the new black op scope rods in 10ft
and what’s the maximum casting distance achieved with these small rods

I would have to agree with Yonny on this, greys aren't the brand they used to be and i dream of owning a set of Harrison Aviators in full cork....drooling...

In regards to the carp, I saw multiple people saying they come out of ranworth looking through various forums. One guy saying he got snapped up bream fishing twice in one night
Ranworth has come up several times in conversation with friends. I have seen an image of a mid double common that supposedly came from Ranworth broad but the person who showed me the photograph was how do i say.... known for spinning a good yarn so it could of come from anywhere really
but yeah, im sure they are in there.

Thoughts on piking on there in the summer buddy? I see lots of conflicting thoughts. I'll be sticking a few dead baits out of an evening regardless to be honest.
I have only ever been out on the broads with spinners and lures, but cant see why that wouldn't work mate! are you going to be on a boat or the bank?

Welcome ! Being from Norfolk, do you know of definitive big carp captures on the broads? I've heard a few wafty fisherman tales, though after much searching no photos.
yeah that old chestnut
, same as you my friend only stories and conjecture I'm afraid, i am sure there is monsters in there though also tales of big catfish.

A few months ago I had to get my jack russell put down because she had a tumor and now I'm starting to think about getting another one. She made an amazing friend but was terrible when it came to fishing and would have to be left at home. Not sure if its because it was in her nature, but she wouldn't settle, she would walk around sniffing everything until she got scent/sight of something and just give chase. Also had selective hearing and wouldn't come back when she was focused on something lol.
My question is do different breeds of dogs do better than others and is there any I should look at in particular?
Sorry to hear that fella. As spr1985 said I think it really comes down to training a close friend of mine takes his Golden lab with him but they tend to be fairly docile by nature.
