Fishing in England is that I found very different from other countries, particularly when it comes to preparing to go for a day or two. In this country, is an art form made to the precise details, Packed in the same way, with the right amount of everything in its rightful place, and of course all parts cleaned, oiled and carefully reviewed for the proper functioning order.

Quite often this procedure will begin about 48 hours before the event, that case is the word. In England there is a very large variation in the type of fish you can catch, so the first will be decided, is to be a local channel, a good flow, a well or a lake, or even marine fisheries. So what kind of fish you are looking to catch, carp, catfish, tench, bream, pike, perch, Roach. , Etc. This is followed by what cane and reel for the job, what is the size I'm looking for 1 pound, 5 pounds, 10 pounds or even higher. In all practicality, of course they will not all this trouble hitting a little Noddy. So depending on the season very often decides for you.

Until recent years that England have had what was called a closed season, where no fishing is allowed, this was April, May, June and implementation. this to allow the fish, but as was so successful has disappeared.

The best time for carp is between June to September, catfish, from May to October, Pike late September to March. The rest are generally most of the year, but those mentioned are by far the most popular and the biggest England has to offer the most popular by far is the carp, this mainly is that a lot more of them, especially in the southern part of the country. The weight of carp in this country can be anything from £ 1 to as much as 50 pounds, and can be found in most of the area above. Catfish are not as well distributed and is mainly confined to pits and fairly large areas of water, which ranging from a few pounds to 100 pounds and are very difficult to catch. Pike fish winter is dedicated to the fisherman, takes much patience and love to catch large lakes and reservoirs, again from a few pounds to about 85 pounds.

Each of the above species require very different front, ranging from fishing float fishing light, with book more weight to the yarn, one thing they have in common is that they are all difficult to capture and take time and patience. Carp, in general, requires 2 rod 3/4lb test curve on 11ft long with a minimum of 12 lbs line, presents a similar Bollie or hair on a fashion platform ledger. Cat 3 bar 1/2lb fish 12 to 13 feet with a minimum line of about 15 pounds, made for the dead fish in the middle of a triple hook. Pike I would recommend a sea rod near 5Ib curve of the bar 13 m, presented with the half-dead fish with two treble hooks, connected to at least 40 pounds of trace metals, this is because they have to take a long distance with the weight of a 5 oz, which puts much stress on the bar, and pike can and will bite through normal line connection.

With 3 of the fish above you should have enough equipment for a long stay, I would suggest the following would be beneficial. Bite Alarms, Bivvy, gas stove, food and beverages, warm clothes, a function of time, plenty of spare equipment for the operation of the platforms of repairs, ie, weights, hooks, swivels, etc

This is just one example of a typical approach of fishermen in England and aims to give a small insight into her.
