Hooray!
We got some rain on Sunday/Monday just enough to raise the river enough to a nice level for a short period...it's a good start but still way short of what's needed, I'm looking for it rising up 3-4ft then falling back 18"/2ft over a couple of days.
Anyhow i felt there was a chance.
I gave it about an hour and half but I didn't touch a thing not even a knock.
You can see the water isn't in great condition but i enjoyed getting out and it not costing a arm and a leg to catch nothing lol.

Looks about the same size at some bits as our bigger local river you get more salmon for sure tho the arse been ripped out it for years between folk snagging and netting down here plus fish farms climate change etc we still get a ok run but nothing like it used to be we still catch and release only for salmon at the moment and no kill tags being issued it dont bother me id toss it back anyway i dont eat it and theres plenty of otters etc that do

Similar scenario here mate its a catch and release river which i don't mind at all I'm not too fussy about it either.
Thankfully most of the poaching i see isn't going to affect the numbers of salmon most of it is fishing without a permit which is harmless fun especially for youngsters.
I think salmon farming and fish eating birds like cormorant and goosanders are much bigger threats to migratory fish and resident fish.
I counted 49 various fish between the two birds, salmon parr brown trout and sea trout smolts.
I'll not start on salmon farming in regards to the disgraceful fish welfare and the environmental disaster that it is.

Yeah i know the treatment of our water isnt right things need to change and i dont see many cormorants tbh more gooseander and grey herons where im at and some rarer ones too shit loads of otters too and we aint got any beavers yet far as i know tho
Midnight Express, it's been a steep learning curve, 1st we baked the seedlings in full sun at 36-40C, re-potted them into Biobizz All mix, had a small insect attack, and burnt them with light before we hit them with a small nute burn.
They went into flower on week 4, and without growing taller than 200mm we seem to have gained some knowledge as they now look happier than ever, got a Runtz photo, started, and 1 Orange sherbert and 1 Hulk berry auto on the go.

Have you checked in there recently?

Thc talk is more interesting platform imo.

My advice to newcomers is photo plants mate simply for the fact its more forgiving u can fix most problems and still pull it off good with autos there like on a set time and its better to grow them perfect less mistakes etc due to that fact personally id only do em outdoors or in with a mother tent if thats your thing each to there own i suppose when i started growing they werent very good i know there leaps and bounds better now mind you anyway good luck with your grow pal

Afaik they got a suspend sentence.
I don't have much issue with someone taking a fish for eating but I've no time for this fishmongering bs

Not for a while, some clever guys on there, I used my account to get info from a bloke about building a drying/curing fridge, old timers organic stuff is decent too, plus a lot about elite U.K. clone only strains. But it’s too hard to post a pic, the ergonomics of the site aren’t brilliant either. But yeah some clever guys so I still check stuff on there but in no way the same frequency of this place, 420mag is another good one

Is it really that bad? Don’t they like bluchi over there? I do feel that this sub forum is pretty cool, we’re all nice to eachother and support each others work, certainly one of the best I’ve been part of.

Simply put they only really want u to talk about stuff thats from there payed advertisers like ugorg seedstockers etc they starting to be a bit funny with ones that aint being discussed which i do not agree with u should be able to say whatever

Yeah totally agree myself! That’s ridiculous, surely the more strain info the better, especially for newcomers wanting info before they spend their money. That is a really sad affair.
