Yep, It's mine and I am having it, love it.

There would not be a problem as long as you let people know. If you were going on holiday before the auctions end for example and you were the highest bidder just let them know that if you win, you will pay when you come back of holiday. Communications will save a lot of wondering. TC

So it will does work? More I think of it over never seen any tied into end pins, but I've not been netting too long and don't do it half as much as some, is it down to preference or is there a reason for tieing on or not tieing on? Have a look at this thread, it might give you an idea what they are talking about. TC

I would say a good strong, one something like a fox nets that are used here. With the teeth on those beavers you would have to be quick on it though as they will be out of it pretty quickly. TC

Brilliant lads, only three to go. We can do it. TC

Sun out here with a nice breeze now, just so happens I have a machine full ready to go out. Saves starting up the tumble dryer. TC

Nice one GTE, come on lads only four left to do. TC

Out of curiosity how do you stop the weight pulling up when pulling a knot home? TC

We had a thunder storm from 4.30 till about 6 this morning, but even that was a very weak affair, it's been threatening since then but no rain as such. TC

Took me a while and a couple of reads but I got there eventually, very innovative. TC

I only read as far as page two, and to me most of the replies optimised every thing that is wrong with this country. Most of the problems with the youth of this country is no motivation, a lot do not have the first idea that there is life beyond the dole. To be honest I think they sell themselves short, because they have never had to be responsible for themselves, they do not know what they are actually worth. Give most of them some self discipline and a feeling of worth and it would be a totally different story. So I would say yes. TC

Incredible

Thank you, will you post it or is it pick up only please. TC

yes that would indeed be an improvement Wise words indeed. I started longnetting a good many (too many) years before the internet and its forums burst onto the scene, back then there was also no instructional books or videos either and some experienced netters could be a little guarded and tight-lipped about their tactics so the beginner had to learn mostly by trial and error, therefore I have never forgot the words of a wonderful old man and very experienced netter who was less reluctant to help and offered me some good advice just before his death, to quote him ‘'knowledge to an old m

I have been unhappy with all my dogs at one point or another. but have always given them the benefit of the doubt and ended up very happy with all of them. Each was different, each had their own strengths it was up to me to play to their strengths and to get the best out of them. For some I did, others I let down, but that was my fault, not theirs. TC

i know what you mean Tiercel, i have only used the triangle a relatively short while prompted to try it by posts on this forum and agree with your comments, thinking along your lines i pondered on womens hair clips or those giant paper clips then pulled out a bulldog clip from my drawer and tried that, just clip it right over the bar of triangle and onto the meshes (so it is clamped tight onto the meshes only NOT the wire, fitted so it will rotate freely over wire but clamp on mesh), i have not yet tried knitting with it so don't know if it's strong enough to hold firm but other than that it f

This is what as known as collective development, I love it. There is always another way, it may not suit some, but will suit others. The more ideas out there the better. Don't be shy give them a try, the worst that can happen is that they do not work for you, but you will never know unless you try. TC

When the auction opens Sunday 9pm you can look through the index if any take your fancy then make a bid in that auction thread. Say you liked lot number 301 and wanted to bid on it, just click on 301 link in the index and make a bid by stating the amount you wish to bid on that page. All types of payment are available, although with some, cheque and bank transfer you will have to contact Dymented directly. Paypal payments can be paid directly to this paypal account Please include you name address and lot number, this is really important to ensure that you get the item ASAP TC

Fireman, Trout do live in the brackish water of the tidal reaches, they are commonly known as slob trout. Any river that has access to the open sea and has trout in the river will have a run of sea trout. Sea trout are a bit of a mystery really as they live their first years in the river as normal trout then some will smolt and go to the sea and others won't and will stay in the river as brown trout. That said, there does seem to be a difference with the amount of feed that the river can provide for trout, Hampshire chalk streams for example with their abundant feed do have runs of sea

I have only used the triangle for a few years, and while I find it great for starting a net off on, I do not like hitching the net up on it. There are a couple of reasons for that. You have to keep the net you have knitted taught to keep the meshes on the bar of the triangle in line and even. When you let the net get slack the meshes bunch over each other and create miss-matches on the row you are knitting, you then have to rearrange the meshes on the bar, to get the row you are kitting level. Another factor is that when the triangle is tied to a point with string it tends to twist, th

As long as it does the job for you, go for it. If it does not work for you as you like, then you adjust the design till it does. Nothing is perfect, what will be great for you may not suit anyone else. What suits someone else may not suit you. It's all about experimenting, running with ideas and finding out what really suits your style of knitting. TC

Have a read of this it's a good article on tactics for loch style fishing. It's for Tasmania but loch style fishing is the same the world over. TC
