Mint nick and perfect free lining rod!
That's a good idea, I've got some crayfish glug that I'm sure they'd love, river is full of the buggers.[COLOR="Silver"]

carpflier - Thanks for the rig suggestion, I can picture exactly what you mean and can imagine that it allows for even more subtle bite detection, as the bite will not be going through a lead to be registered. I shall give it a try on my next outing and let you know the results.
I think this weekend is pike fly fishing, but I'll see! |
Just tie yourself on a dropper with a water knot and pinch on some swan/ AA'S shot you can add or take off to allow for flow you cant with a fixed weight lead , that's it whether very light flow or heavy
