    Awesome, Ian. I need some kind of long sleeve top like that, don’t suppose you can remember where it’s from?

    I liked the video Ian, good work (I personally dont mind long ones but I do watch live match videos too so thats probably why). How you swap hands to bat the line back is eye opening, I think id put myself in a tangle. 😂 I do need to practice that cast too. I also need to learn how to play fish...

    Shimano Baitrunner 6000: XTR-RA, XT-RA, XTEA or GTE-C?

    How did everyone’s day one go ?

    I didnt go, due to work I wont be able to go for a couple of weeks or so, however I did drive past the carpark and wow was it rammed, so me not going is probably a blessing, I hate fully pegged out rivers.

    Nothing for me the last couple of trips, the fish have been more interested in cruising around about 18inches beneath the surface than feeding, not sure if they are rising with hatches as there are insect explosions going on, especially damsels. I’ve tried to trick them with some bread, casters...

    It’s a weird place, it is a bit early I agree, first trip I lost one on prawn, no fizzing, second trip caught one on pellet, no fizzing, last night fizzing like mad and no bites on anything. It’s just a case of working it out, I feel like I’ve currently caught by accident rather than by design...

    I will do, it’s one thing I’ve not tried there yet. It’s one of those fisheries that will be prolific once it’s been fathomed out, I’m sure of it
