Ara

Ara cuts through England, United Kingdom and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Ara — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Tench

  Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Koi carp

  Use a hair rig for boilies or other firm baits to keep the hook exposed and improve hook-up ratios, especially for larger koi.
