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?

I fished France for a good few years if the lake didnt have showers then I would drive to the nearest camp site pay 2 euro and use theirs a couple of times a week
I cant stand manky smelly people near me either

I have told people straight stand down wind of me or come back when you have had a wash ! you bloody stink

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.

Same one I use Gerry, but its called Andes, £29.99 on ebay. Just take a collapsible water bucket to drop the pump head in to.

well not sure what you mean I started carping in 1963 ? and people I fished with all had good hygiene for the most part

SADLY its now deteriorated to people with no Etiquette that think its all about a case of booze to tip down their neck and by the sounds of things poor hygiene and they think its Carpy ? they havent got a scooby
