Ade Kiddell - June 2018 Blog
The river carp have been elusive this year; last May and June, myself and several friends had some great fish, with several close to 40lb. When I last wrote, I had managed three and lost two, and was feeling confident of finding a few more. However,

Ade Kiddell - April Blog
Seems like we haven't had a spring this year; one day it was cold and blustery, the trees were bare, and only the odd early spring flower was making an appearance, the next it seemed like summer had arrived, the trees were in full leaf and the

Ade Kiddell - March Fishing Diary
I have always enjoyed fishing the last few days of the river season; over the years I have had some great catches, and, with that in mind I booked the ferry well in advance, with a trip to the Trent planned, and like a military operation I sorted
