Headlining the January issue is our Troubleshooter Ian Russell, but rather than his usual slot with a client, we’ve mixed things up slightly for this first issue of 2024.
Here, Ian runs through the five big lessons learned over the last year or so. Always looking to take his fishing one step further, Ian is not one to rest on his laurels, proving that you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks!
Elsewhere, Luke Vallory ended 2023 on a high with a blinding session on Oxlease Lake. Although things started off patchily, a move for the second night produced the goods and come morning he was staring down at a whacking great lump of a carp. Could this be the end of Luke’s quest… you’ll have to read on and find out!
Despite being possibly the hardest time of year, this magazine has big carp galore, whether that’s Holmesy landing the lake’s largest, Myles Gibson with his day-session giant or Oz Holness reflecting on winter tales of old.
And if targeting big ’uns isn’t your bag and you just want to get a bend in the rod this winter, you’re in luck as we have loads of that too.
Whether it’s Linear regular Otto Reade revealing how to build a winter hit, James Armstrong with his supercharged singles or Lewis Read revealing his way with maggots, you can be sure that this issue will have you equipped with the knowledge to succeed in the cold.
Add to this a gear guide full of awesome new tackle and the FREE 32-page Winter Fishing supplement we’ve put together in association with Sticky Baits… it’s safe to say we have your reading material covered for the next month!
