  1. Never heard of this the other way round - Springer FT winner or champion with a little bit of cocker somewhere in the DNA? Personally I gave up registering my springer pups with the KC three generations ago and have never had any trouble selling (on the rare occasions I have had a litter) or their working ability, temperament or fitness. I know which dogs I'm happy breeding with as I've seen them work day in day out either picking up or beating. Dogs are there to put in a shift, not show off their limited (I've swept up behind them on a shoot day) ability, reliance on the whistle rather than i

  3. Roustaloue Gundogs - Peter Everett Stewart. Working dogs not triallers.
  4. Excellent boots. Can be a bit slippery on wet grass but that's all.
  5. Get one from Stewart here... http://www.flyforums...-fly-lines.html Best value out there. Cheers Gillaroo
  6. I reckon it's spot on 14lb but coughed up a 2lb fish when it was caught so could have been 16lb. Am I close?
  7. how does your sprollie compare to a pure springer. Like chalk and cheese to be honest. The sprollie was in in the beating line at 8 months without even hearing a gun or seeing a pheasant and I waited with the springer until he was nearly 4 years old. Sprollie won't peg or touch a bird but will hold a runner down with his paw. The springer is mainly used for picking up now although he'll happily work in the beating line as well. I knew both the dogs lineage about 5 generations back (obviously no pedigree with sprollie) which made it an easy decision to take them on and the springer has j
  8. ...And Muttley the Sprollie... he was free!
  9. My springer "Tenner" - well that's all he cost!

  11. CZ550 .243 with Simmons Whitetail Classic 3.5-10x40 scope (Phillipines model) and Wildcat 300. Good news is this set up loves Prvi Partizan cheapo rounds! Gillaroo
  12. i would go for yours mate all day long.as gamekeepers work there dogs 6-7days a week shooting and havnt got time for feild trials,so they would probably produce the best shooting dogs in my eyes and if your brother is getting a good response from other people that must be a good thing. Exactly what I was thinking when the OP asked for best WORKING cocker kennel - nothing to do with trials. Not sure if they are still about but Rustaloue were top notch with Peter Everitt-Stewart at the helm - think it was his wife who specialised in cockers with many going to the USA for quail shooting. P
  13. And Vinnie Jones and Guy Ritchie have bought the other 2,488!!!
  14. If you can't find cheap Peltor ComTacs on ebay then buy some of these... http://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=peltorsportac&cat=304 You'll love them especially when you hear low level noise like your dog working or birds flying towards you amplified. Hope this helps Mike
  15. What make are they and would you post? Cheers Gillaroo
  16. Thanks for the lamp mate. Recommend this guy to deal with in future sales everyone. All the best Gillaroo
  17. Hi All Here's a link to Simon's excellent article. I think it sums up what I'm trying to get across and also gives some of the best advice on fishing nymphs that you could wish for. Enjoy the read. Gillaroo http://www.soldierpalmers.co.uk/articles/nymphing_for_pullers.html
  18. If this was the case the booby and blob would never be seen in a competition. I've seen pullers win comps and nymphers win and the best anglers can adapt accordingly. Oh and I've also seen a fishing mate absolutely spank the other anglers on a single cul. Fish how you enjoy to fish but stick to a single method and prepare to blank every now and again. One method does not always outfish others and it's a myth that all the big fish get caught on nymphs and lures are just for stockie bashing. Cheers Gillaroo
  19. Sorry but this is absolute nonsense. Cheers Gillaroo I think we will have to agree to disagree on that point my friend. TC
  20. Sorry but this is absolute nonsense. One of the easiest ways to explain the difference between nymphers and pullers was written by a very good fishing and drinking mate of mine and once I (hopefully) get his permission I'll paste it here. This will help solve the issues surrounding this emotive subject but it does apply in the main to stillwater. He gives some great advice as well on methods. When it comes to the ethics surrounding nymphing on rivers and upstream dries we'll need a lot longer to discuss. Cheers Gillaroo
  21. But what about traditional loch style method Richard?
  22. I'll take it please if carp king doesn't. Let me know and i'll sort money. How would you want paying? Cheers
  23. I'm interested if Carp King doesn't have it. What model is it - 400, 750 or 750 LED? Cheers Gillaroo
