Meta name="verify-v1" content="d7PFNk6IiaDiPnshLwmCM9E/oeJhyyogsTh9thA/Ap0=" /. Monday, March 01, 2010. I thought a photo might help explain the simple helicopter rig I was using for the dace and roach. Hooklink to the left, mainline (6lb) to the right, and feeder link (5lb) to the bottom. The feeder link is shorter than the hooklink, but all lengths open to modification. Easy peasy heli-feeder rig. Posted by Dave @ 11:11 AM. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. All purpose barbel rig. And a size 8 Power Swivel.

The part that screws into the camera's base is also less likely to be lost as it is captive in the channel of the bracket. I've slipped some aquarium tube over the ends of the posts to stop them slipping out in transit. The only thing to watch out for is a thumbscrew working loose and getting lost. Camera attached to bracket and tripod quick-release plate. More on self-takes here. Self timers are o...

Meta name="verify-v1" content="d7PFNk6IiaDiPnshLwmCM9E/oeJhyyogsTh9thA/Ap0=" /. Thursday, December 24, 2009. Long ago and far away. The other Christmas my present to myself was a lathe, this year it included a film/slide scanner which I used to scan the photo above. If I don't manage to get out fishing again soon I might blight the blog with some more blasts from the past. Posted by Dave @ 7:27 PM. Sunday, October 04, 2009. Which, covering the years to 1970 and like Casting at the Sun. By the time I came...

Lumbland: Of mice and rats
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015/05/of-mice-and-rats.html
Friday, May 08, 2015. Of mice and rats. Whitethroats were active in the hawthorn, singing and flitting about. A song thrush perched on high and sang it's little heart out. A swan drifted gracefully by and picked up one of my baits. I wound that one in and whacked it out to deeper water. The tench, which are what I'm trying to catch, are continuing to play hard to get.I've heard of one or two being caught, and more being lost, but they're keeping well away from me. Maybe they'll wake up next week ...Back ...

Lumbland: Moving with the times
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015/03/moving-with-times.html
Thursday, March 26, 2015. Moving with the times. Two rods fished open end feeders filled with crumb and pellet mix with maggots on the size 20 hooks - a single maggot on one, two on the other. These were cast out to a marked spot. The third rod had the in-line feeder, and a small piece of fake corn as bait. This was chucked as far as I could get it and left to its own devices. Rod building of the last month. Should I get the tench rods out? When the light began to fade my hopes of a roach or two rose....

Lumbland: January 2015
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2015. The website frustration, which I just can't be bothered with trying to sort out right now, and my workload was driving me nuts and finally drove me out in an attempt to beat the oncoming foul weather yesterday. Back on the rod front I've fitted another Alps reel seat to a spinning rod for a customer. I have to confess that these Alps seats are exquisitely machined. Very nice if you like that sort of thing but no more practical than a bog standard Fuji seat. Once more I've bee...

Lumbland: April 2015
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. I could write about another failure of a tench session when fishing carp style with bags of pellets produced another hybrid (which looked very much like the one I caught last Thursday.) but there wouldn't be much to write about apart from hearing and seeing my first whitethroat of the year. Recent builds have included a set of three P-5s and an Axiom in brown, which combined with copper tipped chestnut whippings made for a really nice look. Friday, April 17, 2015. A fresh bait'...

Lumbland: Pest control
http://blog.lumbland.co.uk/2015/05/pest-control.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. It felt good to be up and around before the hum of traffic competed with the sedge warblers and whitehroats. That summery smell was in the air too. Despite seeing no signs of tench - which I rarely do on this water - I was happy enough in my choice of swim. For some unknown reason the members of The Pikers Pit forums voted for me to write the 100th article for The Pike Pool blog which features c. Eric Weight - Artificial Lite. Chris Turnbull - Angling Artist. Fishing and stuff .
