    Barbel conservation thoughts?

    I've seen an angler on lower Benyons make a right mess of unhooking a fish using forceps,if you get a hook hold well past the bend it's much better to ease the hook out using a thumb nail.Difficult to explain but I'm sure you know what I mean.

    Bow in line when fishing?

    All depends on the flow,there's a balance between weight/feeder and pressure of water against the line,if you ledger upstream then less weight is needed to hold bottom.In terms of indication you generally get a nodding on the rod tip as the feeder bounces on the bottom,fish are self hooked when...
