Despite Mike's terrible hayfever we still manage to sit down and discuss the importance of shutting lakes during spawning. We also answer a listeners question on why do some fish hardly ever get caught.

We also cover off our own fishing over the last four weeks. Plus this months special guest is Rich Howell aka Reg Bampton, a man who's been around the block, someone who's often popped up in Dave Lanes books over the years as his love affair with Horton started at a very young age. In fact he was the youngest angler at the time to catch a forty pounder, the iconic Jack the Net ripper!
