The recent Ribble Fish-In thread got me thinking.
"Snow melt" coming off the hills. I can't remember the last time I fished a river affected by snow and ice!
We're all Anglers but do we cope as well as we should on a strange venue? As far as I'm concerned, local knowledge is a huge advantage.
For my part, I was brought up on the tidal Dorset Stour. Two tides a day, lower stretches sometimes flowing "the wrong way" or top half going one way, bottom half going the other! My other local was the Avon, really fast and powerful flow, loads of weed, etc etc.
What is peculiar to your local river/canal/lake?
What gives you "the edge" locally?
