Thank you mate

Thanks - that's really helpful! Did all the swims your group fished do fish?

Has anyone been to la traque recently? I'm going in a couple of weeks and just wondering on swim choices, any particular swims doing more bites, and any tips on tactics? I will always fish how I am confident but any insider info would be gratefully received

This is really helpful, thanks mate!
I am thinking of joining for sinah as it is close, unfortunately everywhere these days is busy!
Thanks again, really helpful reply

Can anyone give me any info on stock and fish sizes in Sinah please? Not after any secrets or anything just an overview of the fish in there and sizes!
Also - are there any other lakes on the ticket with bigger fish, nice settings, etc?
I've checked website but would love to hear from anyone who has fished it.

Second this, the nano is brilliant stuff

I have a genuine question about leadfree vs leadcore...

I have used ESP leadcore for years, and find it brilliant, however I do see a few people switching to leadfree - my questions are,

- I get that leadfree is supple but if you drop both leadfree and leadcore in edge of different substrates, leadcore appears to blend in or even disappear (sink in) much better and the ESP leadcore is supple enough - do others find the same?
- for those that have swapped, have you found your catch rates improve?

I am really interested as I like a lot of others am always looking to improve but not sure whether it is a genuine improvement or just the best option for any waters where leadcore is banned?

have you been using the ones with the small ring fused on? How strong are they? That small ring worries me a bit but like the idea

I do this but I cut an ESP hook grip bead in half and use one either side, or just on the side nearest the ring swivel. Works well!

Hi mate.
I wouldn't sell any of your gear unless you are absolutely sure or you may regret it. As others have said, going somewhere different with a better chance of a bite is a great shout. Also, cutting back on the amount you take will make it feel like less of a chore when you do go.
If I am getting fed up of fishing (it is easy done these days as it is so busy everywhere) then I go sea fishing or something completely different which works to put the buzz back.
Hope you feel better about your fishing soon
