After reading some threads on this forum I had decided to get up early this morning and try some pike lure fishing.
On arriving on the lower Tees I found the water was like chocolate.
I decided as I had travelled there I might as well have a go but felt low in confidence.
I know pike use vibration too and I didn’t want to bait fish.
I didn’t get anything and managed to snag one of my lures.
I was hoping you might help me with some visibility questions I have.
Are there ways of checking river water visibility before driving there? I know you can check water levels.
What causes poor visibility on rivers? I imagine it must be rainfall and increased water flow?
Are you less likely to get poor visibility further upstream than a rivers lower reaches?
I was thinking of trying again tomorrow so thanks in advance for any advice!
