Definitely NOT for the faint hearted. THIS IS DIFFICULT FISHING. The river banks are overgrown with tall vegetation that you have to bush whack your way through. Tread carefully, because there are no neatly manicured river banks, mown footpaths and heated huts. This is how nature intended.

Obstacles, you bet! There are weeds, tree roots, boulders, overhanging branches, fallen branches, bits of trees and that tall stuff growing on the river bank, usually hiding things for you to trip over.

The mud comes in two varieties: the stickiest and the slippiest, and there’s plenty of it.

Stealth is essential, this isn’t like sneaking in from the pub. These wild brown trout know you’re coming even before you do!

Once you are in the water, you’re still not in the clear. The overhanging branches make it impossible to fish with anything other than a 7’ rod, and the lightest of lines. There is everything there to tangle your lines and snap your rod and really put a blemish on your day.

It is frustrating, difficult and downright annoying, and yet the most amazing experience for those on a quest for truly wild fish in wild surroundings.
