We join Des Shipp at Llandegfedd Reservoir, set in the rolling landscape of southeast Wales between Usk and Pontypool, for a feeder fishing session on this huge expanse of water.
In last month’s issue, Des Shipp showed us a great tactic for catching wary carp that are sitting over your groundbait in the margins. This time, he’s at the beautiful Shearwater Lake and he’s showing how he adopts a similar approach to his winter feeder fishing.
Although the Method feeder is a deadly tactic, on some venues – like Barston – it’s losing its effectiveness, with PVA bagging taking over. Angling legend Phil Ringer is your guide…
There is no simple answer to the question: What is best, braid or mono? So, put the kettle on, turn the TV off and sit back, as Joe Carass attempts to tackle one of angling’s trickiest subjects.
