Thanks Titus, the reason, I think, we struggle is because we only fish rivers once a year and consequently rarely up to speed with the changing conditions. Local knowledge is very important so I’m really grateful to the Brummie for putting us on the right pegs, sorry about the stereotyping but I find the accent interesting to write. When we first met Stan Lewis he was very guarded about what he told us until we bought a ticket from him but recently he’s been amusing and helpful in every way, a true character (must hear the flat story one day).
Cheers John, I’ll take a look at the lower Tidal Trent although it sounds extremely challenging for a wuss like me. I could use my pike gear, 2.5lb Greys Prodigy, Shimano Baitrunner 6000, 12lb line? I’ve a mate in Louth who is always suggesting the Trent.
