February TOTM theme: 'A Scotsman at heart' I figured I'd risk abusing my position and your good nature by being self-centred and basing this month's tie on myself by way of introduction. I'm in my fifties and started fishing as a tender 4 year old with a dapping rod that felt like a telegraph...

I received a PM with a suggestion that perhaps everyone (if wanted) could get the chance to set the theme for each months tying. You know who you are but I’ll let you divulge your name if you want to. I like that idea and so if you’d like it to be adopted let me know. If more than 11 people...

Thinking of having a rod on Horncliffe next month, any advice or info very welceome

I see they are now offering rods on Fishpal. That is a sign of the times especially for Sept/Oct. However, at £350 for the latter per day and last season only 20 were caught for that month they may still struggle to find takers. It is a 6 rod beat as well. FishPal - Scotland - Tweed - Junction
