On taxi duty today but I’ve managed a couple of hours in between. Stepped up to a 65mm nimble copy on a 2gm jig head . Had 2 jacks and missed one so far

Ive got him loads of decent fishing jelly lures/hooks weighted jig heads etc off Temu mate,been all over that app since it came along

Rapala,savage gear,fox ,Zilla baits etc charge strong money for something you may lose on the first cast,these bottom 3 cost my boy over £55 ,out of his own cash he saved doing odd jobs... certainly not cheap these days,I think the lures are to catch the punters more than the fish

True Danny but you can't tell youngens. My lad wants all the best shite. From clothing to gadgets. A bought him some head phones for his xbox from homebargins for Xmas. Didn't have a clue where they came from. He came down after using them with his older brother. And was like Cody tell Dad how good them head phones are. You can't hear no back ground noise at all can ya bro. Lol. Says Cody was saying I stink And a couldn't hear him Dad. 12 quid they cost me. He wanted to buy some that were 85 quid that his brother has got. But Cody said his headphones are no better , you can hear back ground noise. So it just shows you its all about the name of the product not quilty. " And kids go on that some adults do but more so kids. " But them bits you've bought off temu are great danny. I've got a few little bugs great for fishing for chub just abit smaller than my little finger seen a chap on youtube using them.

Do you need a wire trace if you're likely to catch jack pike?

A short length of thick fluorocarbon for me, just keep your eye on it for damage. I use 25lb if I think there's pike about and down to 9lb if not.

I was fishing in Thailand years ago when a Japanese bloke turned up to fish for barramundi with a lure box on wheels like a suitcase,do you remember when Harris angling started importing the yo-Zuri and stuff,they had a huge selection of mouthwatering lures.

yes,salmon take lures,had quite a few on fake eggs this year.

 

Egg flies are well used for trout too. Fished under a bung is quite popular, it works well, but is up for ridicule by the JR Hartley types and by me depending who is using them

Interesting if you haven't seen it

I would include myself under the JR Hartley type, I shall look into egg flies for next season, using roe is a fish a cast on some rivers when the run is in full flow.
