danman 27 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 not skilled enough to catch using a rod, its what polish people do, it just pisses proper fishermen and the rangers off. if you get found doing it you wont be on that resovoir for long and where are you? i am its just im not aloud to fish the resevoir with a rod and if i do i will probabley be seen, would be easier to set lines, leave let them do the fishing for me come and check them when nobodys around. And i never said i was a successful poacher it will be my first time catching trout thats why i was asking for advice , And im in herts Quote Link to post
olim 28 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 where abouts in herts just out of interest, i may know where the place, and if the resovoir isnt fished and doesnt have any syndicate use then go for it, i just assumed that it was a resovoir that was fished by people e.g. a syndicate or the public but i'm guessing now that it is owned by a water company with no fishing allowed, am i right?

gav22 24 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 get a spool of 50lb line tie it to a fence board get a lighter line 15lb and tie along the the heavy line. 12inch lenghts every two foot tie flys or bait and take to the resovoir go to where the wind is blowing on your back and carefully unwrap the line and throw out the board the wind will blow it out and you should have fish in the morning good luck Quote Link to post

olim 28 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 you probably would have got a better responce if you said that you wouldnt be poaching from other peoples stocks rather than the water companies resovoirs, so let us know how you get on Quote Link to post

Then say, well, i'm not aloud on the water, so i cant fish it with a rod and line. Thats how good a paocher he is..... Theres nothing better than sneaking the undergrowth and whittling a few fish out... Tell me this, what will you do if you go to your long lines and you have a cpl of 3lb specimen roach dead on the end!!?? ) Watched you dont get twated..... Twice i have been filled in for poaching(served me right)... Then charged afterwards... heres hoping pal. Quote Link to post

The water doesnt hold specimen roach... trust me if i (or even you the you the best man in the world) tried to fish it in the day with a rod and line, i would be caught within 30 seconds, im thinking about night fishing it now with a glow in the dark float tip, spraying a few maggots with a bunch on the hook or a big juicy worm Quote Link to post
