Yep correct the last 5 years I only fished in France as I was reluctant to pay silly money for decent lakes in the UK
Some of the type of anglers these days worrying about a crusty helmet and pongy body odour show where the scene is at these days .
Never bothered me when fishing the Twente canal in Holland being crusty as it was drive and survive everywhere back then .
A bucket on a rope in the canal was as good as it got .

And now there are alternatives to being crusty, you would rather remain crusty than utilise a bit of technology? Its not like were talking bait boats or drones here. Its a shower.
Or is being a smelly ******* on the bank seen as old school?

If you want to stink, fair plays. I'd rather keep myself clean, not to impress anyone but out of respect for my own personal hygiene.
