Rob Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Does anyone have one of those 60litre blue barrels locally?(Bournemouth) I am looking for the one with the clamp-on lid. I know I can get one from Solent Plastics in Millbrook, Soton. But would like it in the next couple of days and I can't get over there this week. I have all the other bits to mak a livebait well, just short of the most important part - without it I find the water goes everywhere!!!

alun j. Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi Rob, Looks like you've got more than a few days!! Weather forecast is dire for this time of year! Just look out the window at the moment..........and plenty more to come! Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I have a barrel - I have had one collected for me from Solent plastics. I wasn't expecting it to be collected until later in the week. Charlie is looking for one if anyone can help. Rob Alun, I still hope to sneak out on Saturday as I have a friend over from Portland who wants to flyfish for mackerel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Good luck Rob, If you can get out, you know where to try. I'd recommend a fast sinking line to get down enough. Although some are near the surface, more were down 10m or more; a sinking line will allow the flies to go up and down ?? Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Apparently the better lines for fly fishing are a sink tip........fished in shallower water. Give gruffy a PM, and he will put you right, as he fishes almost exclusively with the fly. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
