  • The River Closed Season

    Love the podcast and it’s a mainstay of my listening. I don’t fish rivers as much nowadays and don’t have a strong opinion either way on the closed season, but would have loved the episode on the closed season to have been a debate including a representative from the environment agency to hear both sides of this topic. Would have been a super interesting debate to listen to!

  • Reborn

    So I got into fishing as an 8 year old, my neighbour used to encourage me to go all the time. I was adopted when I was 5 by a couple who divorced shortly after so I threw myself into fishing. Life got in the way and I turned to drugs when I was 13 and it took me until I was 41 to get things sorted out. I was diagnosed with CPTSD shortly after. In the few years since getting clean I have watched Guru grow massively in the lak I’ll

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Match Weights Are Getting Out Of Control! | Guru Podcast The Weigh-In #024
Q: What is a sensible net limit, and how much weight should anglers be allowed to put in a keep net?
The hosts favor practical limits that protect fish and avoid excessive numbers of nets. Suggestions include using four nets and splitting catches, with larger nets appropriate for venues holding big carp.
Match Weights Are Getting Out Of Control! | Guru Podcast The Weigh-In #024
Q: Are match weights too high, and are the big weights a good thing for match fishing as a whole?
The hosts say the choice of venues and match styles is valuable, but very high weights can make fishing exhausting and less enjoyable. They note that larger fish, improved tackle, better techniques, and increased angler skill all contribute to bigger catches.
Dick Clegg: Winning For England & Stories From A Fishing Legend | The Fishing Gurus Podcast #060
Q: How did Dick Clegg first come about managing Team England?
After Stan Smith's term ended, Clegg put his name forward for the manager role and was appointed in 1984. He began by selecting a team and visiting the international venue to assess it.
Dick Clegg: Winning For England & Stories From A Fishing Legend | The Fishing Gurus Podcast #060
Q: Where did fishing start for you, Dick? What are your earliest memories of fishing?
Clegg began pleasure fishing with his father at a pond near Tankersley, where he entered junior matches and placed third in an early competition.
Steve Ringer Has Had ENOUGH Of The Trolls! | Guru Podcast The Weigh-In #025
Q: Is the cost of fuel killing fishing, or is it just changing the way people go about our sport?
The hosts say rising costs are changing where and how often people fish, with some choosing pleasure fishing or fewer competitions rather than giving up fishing altogether.
