Derek raised an interesting thread about multi rod use. It brings me to a pet peeve of mine.
While I don't wish to offend anyone, what really gets me going is the way river fishing, specially barbel fishing is turning into a long term waiting game.
Some swims are occupied 24/7 with anglers pitching up in bivvies for the long haul. It's just my own view but I think river fishing should be restricted from dawn to dusk, if only to rest swims, and give others a chance.
It's been happening for years now, guys camp out days on end, catch a big fish then think that's how it's done. It's the guys that work full time, have family commitments and run a hobby around all that, I have admiration for, especially ŵhen they turn up a whopper whiskers.
Also why would anyone set up a bivvie just for daytime fishing, I really don't get it. But again it's could just me, I'm old school. No offence to anyone.
