Most of the tackle manufacturers make a retractable rod of some description
even drennan have entered the market under the esp banner
shop around and see what takes your fancy 👍
I was booked onto a lake before lockdown exclusive hire affair
6 people maximum can book the lake
supposed to be 5 of us on for the weekend
We got let down last minute so the remaining 4 had to stump up another £30 each
all scrambling around the cash point to get the extra money in a one horse town
no fun lol
And those are the only fish that should matter at the time
what’s happening on linear, linch hill or even redmire make no difference to where you are fishing
get them in the lake or at least a tank with carp in them
the aquatic shops are starting to restock now as the weather warms up
take a couple with you and grind them up and drop them in the tanks
*to add *
I was walking around the public lake I walk everyday and saw a couple right in the edge about a foot from the bank tails up in the silt.
even stopped and watched them for a minute or 2 I could have probably bent down and picked them up.
I didn’t take any notice of the wind. They were where they wanted to be
Fish can’t read the rules
but always be certain of one thing
expect the unexpected
i will never just say I’m fishing swim 4 because the wind is pushing into swim 4.
But, I might have a closer look there when I’m walking around though lol.
