Minimum 2 (2rod licence) but only ever 3 if my son comes. But I will set up 3, use 2, 3rd will be setup ready to het straight back out.

For a 3.25lb test curve rod, I use either 3 or 3.5 oz leads, and always the same on any trip. Basically I work out which one I need to get the distance I require on my furthest cast. At the moment the longest I can cast due to the weed is 50metres, so I'm using 3's. If I need to cast further, 3.5's cast maximum distance on my rods. If I'm fishing closer-in with my Specialist rods, maximum lead will be 2oz.

1, 2, or 3 One is sometimes enough, two might be water limit, or 3 if allowed and the swim is suitable

Must have been tricky getting the fish to feed While they were still warm cos no one eats cold potatoes do they?

Par boiled potatoes lol. Times change......

Everywhere seems to be far busier than usual. I've just checked the Linear Site and B1 and B2 had 2 swims left, on a Tuesday at the end of September! A combination of a lot of people on furlough (or unemployed now) and the French holiday anglers staying closer to home. I know that peg booking lakes aren't everyone's cup of tea but I fish one quite regularly and really enjoy fishing there. At least you know you are guaranteed a swim and haven't wasted a journey or day off.

Most things that attract carp also attract other cyprinids though unfortunately, I think it's almost best to feed them off, it will also pique the interest of the carp
