thanks for all the replies chaps!! Had a go in said swim 3 short evening trips this week and have had 8 or 9 fish now alas all below average size for this river… finally had a better one this eve. The bites are slowly drying up now and after this one today I started getting a lot of short pulls...

All sorted now. Thanks

As above what’s your tactics in this situation? Semi fixed or running? Light or heavy lead? The swim I’m talking about has the flow coming from right to left. Also to the right is the point of an island so the river is split coming down past the island and then joins just to my right. I’d be...

No problem Richard, enjoy. They’re all really good. I re watched the winter video of up close and personal last night and it’s great! A lot of impressively big fish towards the end

Anyone use or tried sealskinz socks? And If so any good?
