Got rid of my landline about a year ago because I never used it but it would still ring everyday even though nobody knew the number . Still get them on my mobile but I don’t answer withheld numbers or numbers I don’t know and just block them as they ring

Just seen this , can’t believe he’d be so stupid again when he was so close to a title shot https://apple.news/AOd2ru9klT1Wto7qhkuTk1w

If you mean as an edc then either a little gerber dime or a 1940/50’s george wostenholm folder . In the field or on the farm then it’s usually mora’s or a gerber suspension

Are there different variations off the p15 , been looking at who sells them and there seems to be wildly different prices for them . The ones I saw seem to be from 399 to 599 which is a big difference if it’s for the same gun
-
Just been watching some Aaron Cantrell p15 vids and it does look alright . I’m going to the northern show next month and hopefully there will be one there I can have a look at and buy if I like it and it’s not too small and light .

What are people’s views on the puncher breaker , np02 and p15 guns . Are they any good and are they accurate and reliable. I’m thinking of getting something for the odd bit of crow shooting and don’t really want to spend a lot on something that’s not going to get much use and I’ve been looking at these but I’ve seen some mixed reviews of them and don’t want to waste my time with something that groups like a shotgun or is liable to give me nothing but hassle

According to this he’s failed a second drug test for hgh now aswell https://apple.news/A7yEQrp1BTIqT-UfFCCGvmw

Vision are very good , I’ve had a pair of the kura ultras for a few years now and they have not let me down once . When I do change them it will be for the vision ikon zip . Got a pair of orvis aswell but can’t remember what model and they are good too but a bit tighter on my calves .

How big is Schwarz , I know he’s tall but he didn’t look that big so I had a quick look and the 2 places I looked both said he only weighs 200lb . Surely that’s got to be a wrong because that’s only 14st 4lb ish which can’t be far from being a cruiserweight . I don’t follow boxing like I used to and I’d not heard of him before so has he stepped up from cruiser to heavyweight or is he just a really small heavyweight or is it just a misprint on the pages I looked at . Edited to add I’ve just gone through some more articles and one said he weighs 241lb which makes more sense

No idea which apps work but its not just yellow ones to look out for anymore , the sneaky cnuts are using ones painted light -mid blue colours to look like utilities vans now around here and I assume around the rest of the country aswell

??. Just text my mate and it wasn’t one of the lines I thought , it was one these https://www.fishingmegastore.com/fly-lines/cortland-trout-series-ultralight-floating-fly-line~54212.html

No worries . Them Norris rods get some good reviews and I’m pretty sure the new range are made by guideline for them . You won’t go far wrong with Cortland , they make good lines , I used to use the 444 peach floaters but the sylk is probably the one to go for . I’ve got a scientific anglers #3 but can’t remember which model that’s not bad . I overline a little 6ft #2 with it for small streams and it behaves well . Got one of the older greys heron grey platinums somewhere aswell in #3 but although it’s supple i just didn’t like the line . My mates just bought some new cortlands for the rivers
-
I tend to use different set ups for trout and salmon but if I do need to use a single hander for salmon I just use my guideline pike line but if I needed to cover trout aswell I’d have a look at Guideline’s forecast , I use one for seatrout and also on bigger res’s and it’s pretty good line , casts well and is supple . Have a look on John norris’s website , there’s loads on there and if you don’t want to spend a lot on the guidelines then some of norris’s own lines are not too bad . I bought one of their scandi lines just out of curiosity when I was trying to get a line that worked on a Bruce
-
Have a look at the snowbee thistledown , ive got a couple of them and it’s the only line I use on the river for brownies and grayling . My mate uses a cortland sylk and that’s a good line aswell

Dominant performance from spence from start to finish over a 4 weight world champion . 120-107 . 120-108 and 120-108 , I thought he’d win but not as easily as he did
-
I use a 450 grain Rio skagit on my switch rod for most of my salmon fishing on the ribble . Keep saying I’m going to try one of the 150 grain opst skagits on one of my #3 but not got round to it yet , think it was angling active in Stirling who were doing them

Don’t think wilder wants to fight Joshua , one minute he accepts 15m but not the fight because there was no venue , now there’s a venue and date he won’t accept double what he made for the fury fight plus extras from the ppv and says that he won’t fight Joshua . Fury said on his own Twitter account that he wants 60/40 in his favour to fight Joshua so if he’s a man of his word how do you get past that . There’s not much time left to sort a fight for the April Wembley date and I think wilder will do what he normally does and wait till Joshua has no choice but to sign to fight with someone else t

Just seen a tackle and guns press release saying that fishing republic have now gone into administration

Be careful with fishing republic , they are on the verge of going under unless they can get emergency funding

Have a look at John Norris’s website. If you’re not looking to spend loads have a look at the Shakespeare sigma and agility ranges , think they do full set ups aswell but if not they deffo do the rods . You can get budget lines for a fiver but I’d rather spend a bit more on a decent line and a bit less on a reel because for trout fishing the reel will be little more than a line holder but a bad line that’s like a coiled spring will frustrate you and ruin your fishing. Cortland , guideline and Rio are decent lines but can be dear but the snowbee classic is a reasonable line that’s not too exp

For ultralights I use a 7ft , 0.7-7gram Sakura sportism with a 2500 size shimano aernos with 10lb power pro depth hunter braid . For traces it will be 12lb knot2kinky titanium wire with most lures but if I’m using something really small like the crazy fish whitebaits or ballzy worms or 1 inch kopytos it will be 4lb guru nguage

If you want to try some really small soft plastics for silvers and perch have a look at crazy fish whitebaits . They are only 3/4 inch long and you’ll need an half gram size 12 jig head or a size 10 big eye hook with a small fly tying bead on the line in front . You can see the roach hitting them as they fall through the shoal . Ballzy worms are another similar type bait that catch silvers aswell
