Hi Ben, I'm no expert but I'll outline how it's worked for me, or at least my interpretation of it. I've sort of had two approaches to it. The first one has been fishing quite close in, generally where there is little flow, but perhaps on the edge of flow, a slack or eddy. In this case I...

Nice one Craig, plenty of scope to go smaller on the barbel as well, just stick at it 😂

Very nice mate, look forward to seeing what pops up.
