Tackling a lake that flows like a river is a daunting task for any match angler! We join Graham West as he tries to get to grips with the strangest of conditions.
Few anglers can boast the number of match wins Andy Findlay has achieved in his angling career, and since lockdown he’s been taking everyone at The Glebe to the cleaners. Here’s how he approaches feeder fishing on this prolific venue.
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.
