Again LHU a case of short arms and deep pockets, just pay the rate🤣🤣🤣

think west newbiggin syndicate at least have part, and yes tillmouth

I remember that fiasco, but cannot remember if it was to improve the fishing above or below, but MG was always deemed a poor relation beat, in relation to its adjoining and opposite relations, not now! new owners, gillies, and improvments resulting in good spring/summer catches, and a 5ya of 143...

Scierra You were also right about the bottom of st Thomas island being shallower! The fish when the tide ran off lay right in the v just where the two waters meet! It was a great place to fish, then when exhausted, they queued up again a couple of hours before dark waiting till the dusk before...

No i dont think tweedhill ever owned it! It marches with it! And your right it is a long way away probably nearly two miles! It was done under the guise that the main stream past the island was turning into the by water, and the by water turning into the main stream (if that makes any sense?) So...

Nothing went back in the "monger days" LHU not even fungi seatrout kelts never mind that type of fish! Remembering the other side was a commercial netting station for maybe 15 years after thet photos! The only chance we had was the Saturday! Obviously no Sunday fishing and netted non stop for...

Same fish but a better distance

About 1997 paul at the big pool at paxton house! It used to hold tons of fish before they deepened the top of st thomas's island (illegally) it fooked the paxton house pool overnight at least by 95%

A younger M31 and my old mate pete (fatty) sadly no longer with us RIP old mate! Never forgotten.

Sticking your neck out with photos on here unless you have a brass neck like me🤣 more interested in counting the knots in ya landing net than the fish🤣

Well said, tweed has a following of loyal rods who respect its worth, loyalty to keep returning even after what hopefully has just been a blip between a change in seasonal running times! And soon returning to its former glory as the best salmon river in the uk

Nearly all you say is fact, and cannot be disputed, we at the bottom have plenty canal water! But enough faster water to still catch fish, we are not separated so basically the rubbish water is either spun or more likely to be not fished! Tillmouth yes is single bank, but the shear size of the...

Definitely agree! Absolutely no comparison! But i dont think there ever was supposed to be? But a funny thread title! For something that wasnt ever supposed to be a comparison????

I would say my posts will stand as my opinion! Nothing more or nothing else! But no criticism after your " cherry picked" questions? Does that indicate that i held my own? Or are you bowing out gracefully? After all this thread was not supposed to be a comparison! Was it not?

Sorry GD
