Yes, another excellent Stranglers song, but also an opportunity to talk about gadgets! Some of you will have seen my rather clunky...

Did you know that as a member of TAOA, you can fish in crystal clear water with perfectly manicured banks, and less than 20 yards from...

Every now and then we get a tale of a big one that got away (mine was a 4lb Rainbow that escaped from the net - and I had a witness)....

Yes, another musical gem, and there certainly seem to have been plenty of Browns in the Catch Returns recently. That might be due to a...

What a lovely tranquil spot for a day's fishing! This was the scene on Beat 3c a few days ago, and I had a very pleasant few hours...

If you want to help Nigel find it, or even do something more useful on the river, now's your chance. We have a Work Party coming up this...

No, I didn't really think this was a trout, but apparently it did. It grabbed a Gold-head Damsel nymph, and failed to bite through the...

Well, yes, it is another blog post hot on the heels of the last one, and yet another map with blobs on, but more to the point, it's...

In anticipation of the new season (April 3rd) we've prepared some new guidance, particularly aimed at new members, but also those who...

Never heard of these? They're my speciality I have to say. It's not that they don't work, though that's entirely possible - I won't know...

I am pleased to announce that we have now added extra functionality to enhance your enjoyment of browsing the blog. It's now possible to...

Congratulations to Henry for proving once and for all that there really are Barbel in our section of the Teise, and big ones at that....

To celebrate the delightful drizzly dull Spring morning, a dozen brave souls assembled at Trottenden today for another Work Party to...
