I have fished on the Calder. They have been in there for many years. I don't understand the point you are making Cahal

It might not be a surprise to you, but surely it warrants a more positive response? Wurzel http://www.barbelzone.co.uk/

I replied saying they had been in there for years. They will obviously migrate...that is what they do. They have obviously reached your neck of the woods which is a few miles upstream of where they have been for a while. Why is my saying that contentious? ...and if you don't want people to comment about your post why put it on an open message board? Cahal

Posts: 1742 (04/10/06 08:20) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	What negativity? Read my first post on this thread. I simply posted a link which showed they had been in the Calder for years. What was wrong with that? I did not initially make any comment on the merits of the catch. I would not even have followed it up but I then got an indignant response for some reason. Cahal

All my link did was point out that they are in the river. They have obviously spread. Great. Why are you making such a big deal out of a pretty harmless response? This is an open message board. Next time why not tell what sort of response will be acceptable to you? Cahal

Posts: 1742 (04/10/06 08:40) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Well maybe that is the crux. Anglers may be catching fish and keeping quiet about it. Cahal and if you want helpful responses don't have a pop at those who reply
