To learn how to tie the rig see the link below. Free running river feeder rig Bait Hookbait The hook bait was a tiny piece of bread flake squeezed gently around a size 10 kamasan b611. I squeeze the bread flake around the shank of the hook making sure the hook point is left exposed to hook the fish. Groundbait The groundbait is a simple combination of liquidised bread and hempseed. I drain all the water from the hempseed before adding it to the liquidised bread, This stop it from becoming too sticky and clogging in the feeder. Session With the fish now starting to shoal up for winter in numbers on the Nottingham stretch of the river Trent, I decided it was time to have my first session targeting the big roach. I chose to fish a peg I was familia...

CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW THE FACEBOOK PAGE! The knotless knot is by far the most popular knot for hair rigging all manner of baits. Here I show you my adapted version which is ultra strong and will last longer before the need for it to be replaced. The standard knotless knot has a single strand of mono as the hair itself which after a few fish can become damaged or kinked and has to be replaced. My version however has a doubled up hair making it ultra strong and ultra durable. See the simple step by step guide below to learn how to tie this super efficient rig for yourself and make your rigs last longer! Step 1 Thread a quick stop on to the chosen hooklengh material and then tie a simple double over hand loop. I make this loop roughly just over the length of the hookbait and the hook shank combined as this will give the the perfect length hair rig once the rig is completed. Step 2 The second step is to take a push stop needle and insert it into the quick...

TO FOLLOW THE BLOG ON FACEBOOK PLEASE CLICK HERE The venue In today's article I explore a small tributary of the river Trent in Nottinghamshire. This tiny brook ranges in width from as little as 4ft wide to about 20ft at its widest point and is mostly very shallow. There are a few deeper glides here and there and these are the areas where I expect to find fish. As the brook is connected to the famous river Trent less than a mile down stream it has a good range of species with the most commonplace being chub, minnow and dace. In the months of spring bigger chub up to 3lbs move up the shallow waterway to spawn. They seem to hang around in the summer months before heading back to the deeper water of the main river as it starts to cool down. With it now being early November I expect it will just be a case of seeing what the venue has to offer and any big fish would be a bonus. Tackle Rod A light 13ft match rod with a soft action tip. A shorter rod between 10 and 12ft would be sufficien...
