[JackWard 0]

Hi

 

 

After reading an old poaching book of my dad's i read a couple of pages discussing setting 'Night Lines for Trout'.

 

Has anyone heard of these, or even had a go themselves

 

 

 

 

Thanks

We used to do it a lot in the past earthworms being the best bait and about 10 inch of thin catty elastic so if a decent fish got on it couldent run and snap the line.Size 8 hook barbed obviosly.atvb dell

Yes they can be very effective at times but, and I'msorry to put a dampner on this, irrespective of their success they are totally illegal. SAFFA section1 and if caught a person could be liable for £5000 and/or three months in prison. If the instance was felt serious enough and the case went to Crown Court there is a maximum of two years imprisonment with a fine at the judge's discretion. Let's not get into the debate about the two offences relating to small (undesize?) live brownies being used for live bait.
