spun deer hair "dog biscuit" flies on fished on the surface, a light sprinkling of free offerings ans hold onto your hat !

Yep, summers evening. Fire in pellets every min to have them on the surface. Then banded pellet (or hair rigged), and cast into the frenzy. It's certainly something to remember

one problem is bank side vegitation - most commercials I fish have trees close by

There's a section in the carp section of the 'Total Fishing' dvds that covers this.

i tried it once about 15 years back now. had everyone on the lake laugh like f**k at me and then they all shut up as i started to catchsome nice fish. i dont like fishing on a centre pin so never bothered trying again but i can tell you it works well enough
