Friar Tucker,
Chill out, I knew of the Loddon and it's fine reputation for producing Barbel 20 years ago when I lived in Bolton, I hardly think after numerous articles in the angling press, a whole section in the Barbel Catchers, etc. etc. it is ever going to be much of a secret........good luck this year Ian, will say hello if I see you. Ian C. |

Hi Ian C
Yes of course the Loddon is well known - I don't think that was the honourable Mr Tucker's point. See it too many times before. Someone makes a post about how great the Loddon fishing is (accurate or otherwise) and before you know it the place is packed.  Week later they all move on having found the Loddon can be a very fickle mistress.Your average "lesser spotted Loddon angler" is a shy, retiring and gentlemanly creature who the relishes the beauty and tranquility of this great little river. He doesn't want his silent contemplation of a motionless rod tip disturbed by riff raff. Mr Tucker Sent you a reply to your email. Hope to see you Saturday and I'll be standing by with an extra large landing net to help net your new PB!  Gavin |

Well said Gentleman Hill
Last year we had a stately peacock to raise the tone of the river bank .............the envy of the rest of the Loddeners...........til some bugger nicked it (or ate it)..... Some blamed me for that being from Kent..... the land of the Pikey............ We prefer takeaways rather than meat on the hoof................ Not too long now. Do hope its not too packed Ian T |

Hello Girls.
I think the point being made is....why not just say....The Loddon, rather than be specific about places and swims. Unlike the local Maidehead reporter............... Good luck to all Loddonites and gypo overstayers. I'll give you a call after my first 6 on Saturday.  Enjoy the gentlemans river. Graham |
