Up here in the "nosebleed north" the River Ribble is a complete boulder field......don't be afraid of lumpy swims......its features for fish and for food to collect
Another vote for the Korum superlite river brolley. The flat back is essential on the banks of the river I fish......had it a couple of seasons and can't fault it
That's really interesting to read that a 3ft hook length held down with a heavy lead will waft around in a strong flow.. .....that's really made me think!
I have always used longer hooklengths in stronger flow.......I generally use lead and pva bags, so I kind of assumed the bait would wash...
I do use one.......nothing complicated or expensive, it's an aquarium one off Ebay for a few quid....the temperature probe is on 2ft of thin wire ....I have wrapped a bit of lead on it to make it sink.

It would ( for us beginners of the pin) be really interesting to see how it's done...pick up all the tips along with the dos and donts. I'd watch for sure
I took a subscription out a few months ago.....and In only my opinion, I think it's great. The films are well made cover lots of different topics....lots of angler interviews. I enjoy it ....some people are anti Martin Bowler and will say different.
