    How much (or little) gear do you take fishing

    I was also on the Severn last week and trips to there I tend to take far more tackle than I would on the Ouse….basically because I want to be prepared for everything for the whole day. Usual scenario is fish feeder/lead in morning, break for lunch, fish float or feeder again in afternoon...
