Bivvy or Brolly ?

So what do you use/prefer ? I only ever use a brolly nowadays, although since I have a tracker big z I can just zip the front on if needed. In the winter time it's more to keep the damp off than anything else but using a bedchair cover helps keep everything dry (and me warm).

Depends on how long I am going to be there for and the weather, if just an overnighter and I'm not expecting rain I will use my profile and maybe put the front panels on if it gets cold or damp. For 24+ hour trips or if its raining I will use a bivvy presuming it can be put up in the swim I'm fishing, another advantage of a brolly.

Depends on the time of year really.....

Brolly up until mid September or so.... Bivvy only for anything longer than an overnight when it's cold..

hi all.

as i normaly fish for a week at a time, and the swims have bags of room, i use both, a bivvie (2man) for me and the mrs to sleep in, and a tracker big z so that me and the mrs can sit under it during the day.

 

theres nothing like roughing it is there lads.

Up to 36hrs I use a Tails up Babylon but for anything longer, not that the chance arrives too often, I'll use my 2 man bivvy.

 

My thoughts are that the more uncomfortable you are the worse you fish, consequently, the less you enjoy your session.

years ago, I spent a few nights fishing out the back of a Vauxhall Chevette estate with the tailgate up. The first screaming run I had in the early hours had me hurtling panic stricken into a half raised tailgate, which left me laid in the wet grass looking up at an exhaust pipe for 10 mins while the Carp made good it's escape!!
