Fly fishing
With thanks to Peter Robinson for the above advice!
Safety
There are a number of flotation devices available to anglers, from fishing vests that self inflate if you fall in, to versions that rely on you pulling a toggle, to inflatable life perservers and devices that do not need inflation at all. Members are recommended to review the optoins and consider the risks they face whilst on the river.
Spinning
Spinning rod - you could do worse than an 8' Diawa Whisker - you want something that will flick small Mepps accurately but with enough power to play a reasonable fish.
Net
A number of members are very impressed with MacLean nets, particularly those with built in scales. We understand that some models may also have measurements on the handle too.
Removing hooks from trebles/doubles
Increasing numbers of members are looking for ways to reduce spinners with treble hooks to spinners with double or single hooks. Here are some suggestions:
STOP PRESS
Work Party - our first work party starts at Beggar's Bridge at 09.00 Saturday 2 March, if you are interested in removing some of those branches that ruin your fishing on the Rough! Please bring your own kit but pl note, NO CHAINSAWS
Tactics and Familiarisation days - this year we are combining the tactics and familiarisation days (there are few new members) - meet at Beggar's Bridge at 09.30 Saturday 18 May if interested
Glaisdale Angling Club water - we no longer have any right to fish their water - we can only fish Mill Wood itself, but we can walk down the GAC bank to get to Mill Wood
FACEBOOK
