Customer question;
Can I use a standard tent on Roseau (which may not be green). Why do I have to use a barbed hook on Roseau?
Cheers, Keith

Hi Keith, thank you for your questions;
Tents
Tents of any colour are ok to use on Roseau, the only thing I would say is, light in many ways can, and does alarm the fish although on Roseau this won’t be an issue. I used to fish a club lake that was, at times very “moody”, I always had some form of light on throughout the night until a fellow angler mentioned to me about light levels, at first I thought it was daft. I knew my rigs and location was always perfect on this particular venue and decided to put his advice to the test and make my own mind up. I selected a particular wind and knew exactly where to fish and fished throughout the night without any light, I had 3 that evening to 29lb! I then tried this with the same conditions in the same area and ended a 2 night session with a blank! This was tried on numerous occasions with the same outcome. I now swear by this, I’m sure it has helped me catch fish when other people have failed, give it a try mate, you never know you may be pleasantly surprised with the results!
The Hook Rule
This is an area of angling which has mixed opinions, I truly believe that a barbed hook is better for the fish as once the hook is in, then it usually stays exactly where it first takes hold, a barbless hook can move, pop out and catch hold again, this is usually caused through bad angling, blunt hooks or even the fish. If using a barbless hook it’s always best to never allow the fish ANY slack line, once the fish feel slack the can and do spit the hook, many more fish are lost on barbless than barbed. So, to answer your question on hooks, Roseau is a barbed hook only venue.
Sorry if I have rattled on, sometimes it better to give informative information than to just simply say “yes or no”.
Look forward to seeing you at Roseau.
Kind regards,
Roy, Clearview Carp Tours
