[Rolling Meat]

Gents,

 

This winter i have got right back into river fishing after 15years of carp fishingg. I have bought a J Wilson Avon rod and have been wandering the banks of my local river. All i have caught are roach and Dace. I know chub are in there. Up until now i have been trotting with maggots, bread and cheese.

 

Im gonna give legering a go this weekend probably with meat and worms. I was gonna use a snap link with perhaps a 1oz leger free running on the mainline.

 

Do you think rolling/moving the bait along the bottom is better than holding bottom and using a more static bait? I guess both have their day!

[snow water]

Would anyone like to estimate how long it takes for rivers to recover from melting snow? I am visiting a relative very close to the Dorset Stour next Monday (a week today), and was hoping to combine it with a few hours fishing. But I have an awful feeling there will be melting snow going in all this week, and it may just be a disaster!

 

 

My advice would be go anyway. I cant pick and choose my fishing time. Just go when you can!

You never know what might be lurking!
