TOP 5 TIPS

1 Be flexible – if you are willing to target every species one will be feeding, whatever the weather. 2 Always take corn with you when grayling fishing. It’s a great alternative to maggots. 3 Rather than throw a lot of boilies in all at once, try the little-and-often approach. 4 Carp can spot coated braids in clear water, so give a fluorocarbon hooklength a go. 5 Polarised glasses are essential – without them I wouldn’t have spotted the perch and the chance would have gone begging.
