Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Today's bait — worm or sweetcorn. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. A thunderstorm is possible — bring a rain jacket, and pack up at the first rumble of thunder.
An average day — best chances during peak windows.
