ha ha id love it but im saving for a new car if you have it in a months time who knows then id have to get a new rod to match it

quick tip 4 ya storm naturalisticz......
get some clear silicon glue and a small paint brush.
cover the storm lure lightly in the silicon, once its set it will giv ya lure loads more life as it toughens them up loads!! i use it on most of our small rubber lures! stops jacks whippin the tails off them :!:
hope that saves ya some cash

not sure about trout woody will know them river pike really do fight better than the canal pike im used to catching

That use to be a cracking spot Ryan but the club has a shitty attitude about pike there are a few slabs in there though mate

Top angling mate !

watch out for the bailiff and his two jack russels though all three of them are keen , of course , you're probably a member ryan woody will have warned you of the dangers of guesting

who runs it ?

earlsheaton charity anglers .... i joined last year after having been stalked by said bailiff a couple of times , it was weird because i never saw him again and i was down there a lot last year . It was only £10 for the book , phone number of Les on the gate to the mill carpark downstream of the weir , their match weights are roughly double those of mirfield ..... it's a nice stretch Ryan but they ask that you kill all jacks under 4lb and they have had hundreds and hundreds ...... go down any saturday before a match ( every other sunday ) and be sickened as they come out in force to kill the pike ...it's put me off 'em and i haven't rejoined . However , last christmas i saw salmon jumping that weir 19 attempts in an hour
big brownies too and nice bream , as woody says there is the odd beast kicking about in that stretch

Your right Sean, they are 200years behind mankind
