    Piking on the fens.

    Hi Alex A good few yrs ago we used to Zander and pike fish the Fens quite a bit. I found the 20ft around March a good area and also had good success on the 16ft. The old river nene around March was also a favourite.....hope this gives you an area to start looking into.

    It looks like tip ring removal....although my mate suggested whipping them on in a longer protective tube

    Isotopes

    I have my isotopes stood up on my rod tip classic style....if you will. Have seen some that are fixed with shrink tube flat to the blank. I'm after feedback if I should go flat to the blank or not. Cheers Lee

Iv fished the river on and off in different locations for a number of yrs now and had plenty and I mean plenty of fish from young juveniles to over 9lb. I'm really happy catching that stamp of fish. Having recently joining Elston my question was are...

    Light weight chair

    One of those asking for the impossible questions..... I'm after the lightest comfiest chair with an adjustable back and decent leg length. Iv got a standard korum chair which iv put rucksack straps on but feel it's a bit heavy.
