SNAG-FISHING
Into The Jungle
You tend to see that a lot with snag-fishing. It’s quite common on a lot of lakes in the summer months to find fish held up in snags. I really hate snag-fishing; I just find it too stressful for me, and for the fish. To safely snag-fish, you can’t be in a sleeping bag, so if I do do it, it’s just for day sessions. Or if I’m doing overnights, I’ll bring my rods away from the snag and put them somewhere else. There is no way you can get out of a sleeping bag, out of a bivvy, to the rods, and stop it from getting into snags. Most monos have a 20 per cent stretch factor, so once you realise that, and factor that into the distance a fish can go when that line is fully stretched out, it’s considerable, so I really would implore you if you can’t fish snags safely, please don’t!
