7th March 2021
With the advent of the worldwide web, and before it, a plethora of weekly angling newspapers/magazines, the common consensus is, that angling has lost some of its mystery.

However, if you look hard enough, there are a few places that although might have a few known fish, still have an unknown element to them. This type of venue is what Si Bater subscribes to; tucked away from the rat race, catching carp on his own terms. In his chapter, we follow him on a venue that’s highly susceptible to floods, and each time it does so, the stock changes!
