Dancing With The Devil | Oscar Thornton | Chapter 9

Oscar Thornton endures our most testing underwater experience yet and comes out on top with some epic carp caught! Battling against water clarity, I felt like it our dream could crumble at the first hurdle. Eventually finding the perfect location in the shape of the Devils Lane syndicate, nestled deep in the Colne Valley, things took a dramatic turn for the better. Hot on the tail of nomadic spring carp and fishing both in open water and beneath marginal snags, Oscar throws a variety of tactics into the mix; solid bag fishing, hinge rigs over a spread of boilies and his favourite blow-back presentation are all things we observe underwater. Our journey wasn't easy but Oscar reaches the summit with a birthday-caught monster of a mirror!
