Yer I'm fishing it, into my 2nd season over there now- lets just say its proving a challenge

Fair play mate, think im already hooked, thers just something about that place...

Did you give it a go in the end tom? I've only managed two overnighters so far due to other commitments. But should be doing 3 nights this week... Have one fully scaled to my name =)

Hi Did you join in the end britcarp? How are you finding it? I joined myself last week though I haven't yet managed to fish it. Although i've walked it three times already. I'm hoping to get 1 or 2 nights in a week in, when my uni timetable will allow. Unfortunately I will often have to fish Friday and Saturday nights so hopefully I wont have any trouble down there. Are you looking to get back on there salokcinnodrog/shakey? Hope to see you all on the bank sometime, Ben

Hi mate. Generally speaking no not really, as long as you feel its strong enough to land the biggest fish you could possibly hook on your particular lake. You also have to think about what swim your fishing... if your fishing an especially snaggy swim, perhaps a slightly stronger hooklink coupled with a stronger mainline would be advisable. Many anglers prefer to use a slightly lighter hook-link than their mainline, so the hook-link will always tend to snap before the line- for the safety of the fish. However this isn't always possible with todays hook-links, which in my opinion are often too heavy Hope that helps, Ben
