It would be great to see the north arm fishing well again, my very best Rutland bag came from Tim Appletons one September afternoon many many years ago, not a single fish under 3lb, best went to 4.5lb and the backing was tested on more than one occasionComing out of the harbour the hide was the one on the left

The fish were on the fry and by using a white lure on the point and and top dropper with a buzzer in the middle with a wet cell 2 (remember those ) you could either catch on the first part of the retrieve with the lures or on the buzzer on the hang, it was a perfect day and the great memories has kept me going through a few blank periods over the years.
