Tactics & methods

How to fish it

Spring/Summer: Pole in the margins and pellet waggler. Pellet shallow, meat or paste short at 5m, feeder to the far bank. Autumn/Winter: Lightly feed pellets with 4/6mm soft expander pellet fished tight to the features. Corn and maggots work in the edges. Dobbing bread to features when the weather is extremely cold can produce excellent results.
