Our third issue not only celebrates the dawning of a new year, it also - and regrettably - accompanies the entry of an El Nino weather pattern. Not that it should bother any self-respecting specimen angler too much, but its vagaries do need some attention, such as its prospensity of delivering crazy weather patterns, such as storms of gigantic proportions ,hail stones as big as tennis balls, rain deluges at places where the locals are stunned if any more than a few millimetres of rain falls. Does it affect the fish at all? Could be, but mostly in their habitat. For example if a smallish lake is flooded to such an extent that it bursts its banks, or conversely, receives hardly rain at all and its water level drops several metres. In both cases the fish’s patrol routes could change, previously hot spots harbour no fish and strategic, fish-holding structures and cover are no longer available.. Otherwise it should just be a matter of making very sure your bankside possie is more secure than usual and keeping an escape route open.
