The day ticket Chad Pool at Chad Lakes might be worth a try for you.

As far as I know, Anchor still make leads, but not with the rubber O-ring. I've managed to get them on eBay.

Well done for having a positive attitude! I think you're right to look at the air pressure as the higher it is, the more likely the fish will be in the upper layers. What depth is the area you were fishing? I often fish in shallower water when the air pressure is up. Maybe you weren't on the fish? You say you tried different depths with the zigs. Using an adjustable zig is useful for quick variations. Maybe you could try being more mobile until you find the fish. At least you were trying and good luck the next time you are out!

I recently changed from Fox Slik bobbins and dug out my old Fox swingers. I like their versatility and they look sooo cool!

I think they're the Seeland Field boots. I bought them from a local countrywear shop.

I use Seeland neoprene lined wellies for beating, shooting and fishing. I'm well impressed and they should be just about in your budget.

I use a pair of Snowbee ones I got from Troutcatchers. They're OK.

Yes, they are based in the Netherlands, but I believe they have a warehouse in Buckinghamshire. I've used them a few times, and they are OK. I get a daily email with 'deals' which occasionally attract me.
