I snagged and retrieved a rod and reel last week whilst fishing on the middle Severn. If anyone has lost these, send me a pm describing makes etc and where you lost it and I will arrange to return them to you.

Opps, somebody took an eye off the rod then, those middle Severn Barbel don't half have it sometimes, hold on tight it can be a long bumpy ride!! As the great John Wilson says "give em some teddy"!!
