Hello,
This is my first season river fishing and I am having a great time catching a few fish on the Severn at Bridgnorth.
Today, i nipped down for a few hours and whilst I was there the river was rising a fair bit. Because of this, lots of of weed, leaves etc were coming down. As soon as I cast out, my rod tip was pulling around as I was getting lots of weed and leaves getting caught up on the line. I have been ledgering, fishing with my rods high up to keep as much out line out of the water as possible.
Does anyone have any advice or methods to combat this and to stop/minimise the amount of leaves and weed getting caught on the line?
Thanks
