North east 👍

Cheers Bill, aye theyre a funny fish and have found them very different in fight and slime depending on the venue. Congrats on your first tench, it has surprised me just how slow its been going all over the country, usually the south picks up way ahead of us.

Thanks Carl, oh as soon as the tench start spawning we're heading back there👍 the females go 13lb+ so definitely worth angling for.

Tried a new water with some very elusive tench and known for big bream, no surprise I blanked on the tinca front. Did manage two double digure bream though, consecutive pbs at 10lb 8oz and 10lb 9oz. Back to the more reliable tench waters from now on.

Been keeping my eye out for a pair of these for a good year, very grateful 😁

Fridays session felt perfect for it, fishing heli mag feeder, I didnt have a bite for first few hours then had a few storming bites that looked like classic tench hit and runs. Connecting with the 3rd one after adjusting the hook length, felt like a good tench..then it started to come in a...

Dropshot rod, 2-8g rating..more in 7ft but theres a few out there in 8/9ft. Basically an ultralight feeder rod, most tend to have a coloured tip too 👍

First tench (side quest for roach) for my Dad and I to start next friday. Focusing 90% of our efforts on the one water this time. Good luck to all the Tinca chasers for 2023 👍

I had problems with my first and only order from the hookbait company last year, communication was not up to standard so I got a refund from paypal.

Subscribed for 3 copies. Look forward to reading my first catch cult 👍

Can't it be all three, not really mutually exclusive of each other are they? The need to neatly categorize things has always amused me. Angling in its many forms is quite simply too unique and full of nuance to simplify as a sport/hobbie. It's a way of life 😁

I use the bank tackle wide gapes in 10s but I find they are a bit big for 10mm baits, perfect for 12mm boilies though. My go to pellet hook is now the owner c5x in 10 or 12, very strong but slightly smaller pattern than bank. Available on ebay

A Sunny morning on the River Wharfe

Thank you! Only took 5 pages but finally something infromative.

Derwent (Yorkshire of course 😁)

I find it varies day to day, river to river swim to swim. No hard rule to follow just react to your environment 👍 I always start a session with a single hookbait/ no freebies and go from there.

Nidd today First time on the Nidd since I was a kid, knaresborough circa 1998. Looks perfect. Will give it half a day on barbel rods then move onto float if no signs 🤞😁👍 @Mike Thompson that bloody irrigator alarm, nearly fell out me chair 🤣

Derwent yesterday Bit of a walk in that heat. 6lber first cast then lost another later on. Great day!
