I meant to say Liphook,that trout came for the indicator 3 times in a row. I remember having the groundbreaking idea of using a feeder full of mashed sardines whilst dead baiting for pike,took the loss of a few feeders before I realised it doesn’t work, If only I had thought of putting a treble on them

Groundbaiting for pike is a whole other topic we'd better keep out of the flytying section for fear of reprisals from purists

Yes, I agree with keeping it out of the fly fishing section. You wouldn't want to make us purists angry, you wouldn't like us when we're angry.
