    Small/ medium river fishing - wait or rove

    I'm curious about how much, if any, bait you're all putting in if you're on a roving session. Is it wise/worth it to put loose feed in if you might only be there for 30 minutes? To be clear I'm not asking about any pre baiting you might do on the walk out, just what you do on a fresh, unfed...

    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    This is my standard kit if the walk is more than half a mile I've happily carried this for about one and a half miles, I could carry it further but any further than that and it'd be easier to use a different car park. In CA Vulpine Sling Single rod Net & pole Machete The sling then goes in a...

    'Nuts' for Carp?

    I was walking around the lake at lunchtime and the club secretary was there (with the EA investigating the fish deaths) so I asked him and as expected it was a no. So the matter is effectively closed. Thanks for all the opinions. Vince

    'Nuts' for Carp?

    To be honest Tim it annoys me when the rules are written down in such a way that they are open to interpretation, I'd rather they were clear, precise, comprehensive and applied to all members. The complete section of rules for baits reds like this:- "ALL traditional HOOK BAITS allowed but no...

    'Nuts' for Carp?

I fully agree with following the rules but I can only follow the rules that are written down. I'm not going to...

    'Nuts' for Carp?

    This is a morals question rather than an actual bait question but I'm curious to here your thoughts. One of my club waters has some nice carp, 20lb+ which, for the north east, shouldn't be sniffed at. The problem is it's a true mixed fishery, with stocked rainbow Trout which usually spoil my...
