Green 4mm feed pellet has been working well again. The 4mm brown expanders have been effective on the hook but the larger 6mm green or red expanders have also been catching plenty of fish.

Corn and meat have also proved good baits. Some of the carp were shy this week, with the drop in temperature, but quality roach have been showing.
