12 NASH E-ZINE
OLI DAVIES
Well, finally our work is complete!
The 2013 Nash DVD has gone off to
the media plant to be manufactured
and will be available for the first
show of the year in mid-January.
This is one not to miss, especially as
it doesn’t cost a penny – it’s totally
free! This year has been a bumper
year and the DVD is packed full of
fish captures, underwater footage,
and of course blockbuster new
products. It’s been a labour of love
for myself and Mr Nash TV Winston,
who has been burning the midnight
oil to get it finished on time and to
his exacting standards. We hope
you enjoy it – it’s been great fun to
make and we hope you’ll agree it’s
a little bit different from your average
fishing DVD.
When the cold weather arrives
I don’t hang up the rods and
hibernate, I’m even keener to
get out on the bank for although
the carp bites might be hard to
come by there are plenty of other
species to fish for. In the last two
weeks despite time being short I’ve
caught chub, perch, dace, roach,
grayling and brown trout. It is always
possible to get that fishing fix, you
just have to modify your objectives
slightly and it makes you appreciate
the carp when they do decide to
play ball. There are still carp to be
caught however and last week
my winter venue threw up two fish
to other anglers in the space of 5
hours. This is after a month without
a single capture. Bizarrely this was
on the coldest day of the year,
perhaps the extreme temperatures
had forced them closer to the
lakebed and the waiting traps. It
does make me think that the fish
are spending the vast majority of
their time off the bottom, and I have
spent the last two trips fishing Zig
Bugs on all rods. I haven’t had one
yet but I know if I can get on them
there is every chance of a coldwater
carp. I’ll let you know how I get on!
