Do you think they could be trained to spit them back out for boilies?

Just playing devils advocate

It'll be the idiots as usual, can't think won't think.

30% more expensive can't adjust them except make them smaller stuffed if you run out on the bank stuffed if they were made Friday afternoon, following a heavy pub lunch But if they suit you, so be it

I suspect it could be used as a bait as well!

Works for me

I'd phone the baliff if I was you to make sure there are no matches on it, you can also tap him up at the same time

Does look good though, good job and thanks for sharing.

it was just a thought

Get there early, it gets very busy, you may struggle to park let alone find a peg. Can't help on tactics sorry, but think most will work. Are you local danny.

They're good imitations if they are

King of his pit? Think I'd find somewhere else. Mind you I might have a spare one in my box and show him that!

It's still a good idea

Cold water does it as well, just a little otherwise they escape! But I think they would still offset the balance? Don't know though.

Not being funny Cliff, do you know how to upload a picture? If you can then you're half way there, it needs to be hosted externally on for instance photobucket, imgur; I wouldn't use a cloud account though. Assuming you know how to do the above - when you post a reply, there is a icon button you click to insert an image into your post, you then just type or paste the link to the picture. If this makes no sense at all, no worries, just need a strating point - even newmarket can do it so you'll be fine

Looks good stick, but doesn't the weight of the maggots turn it funny against the weight of the hook

He's down the bookie, he won't hear shouting at all them horses.

Like you say, carp fishing as we know it just didn't exist back then, carp lakes were more secret than ..... (I'm not saying)

I often looked at the A34 pits but was never able to find out how to get to fish it. Alot of the lakes at the time were trout if I remember correctly? and slowly allowed others (us plebians) to fish them. I did do some trout fishing but I'm worse casting a fly than a feeder. I used to really enjoy tying my own flies - on the bank to match the hatch, that was good fun, trying to discern what a crumpled blob of chitin looks like when whole

SORRY WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT. still forgeting you is old

Why didn't you say that? Oh sorry, forgot you getin old

Confused with Orchard lakes? Just looked on Google maps, I'm sure I fished there years ago but it was called something else, I spent a lot of time fishing south of Oxford including the Thames around that area and Standlake. Back then (lates 80s early 90s), these lakes were just becoming available for fishing as the fly fishing was going down hill - happy days.

Maybe, there aren't any. Get a spade and start one for yourself! Seriously though, you could try to start one, find out who owns the waters. I've just had a look and most of the waterways look man made, those that don't look tidal?
