    Countryfile

    When to strike??

    daniel,that was probably a chub, and they can be very cute at times,usually aggresive ,but sometimes they just gently hold the bait and drop back to see if it is tethered, regards

    Thermometer

    yep,i agree with you on that one ray,they don,t like big changes up or down, a steady temp, even close to ,or freezing ,with perhaps just a one or two degree rise generally does the trick, regards
