Welcome to issue 45 of Think Fishing and this month I've decided to head to one of my favourite venues, particularly in the winter, Tunnel Barn Farm. The fishing here is brilliant and at this time of year I fish the venue a lot in open matches and I also fish the winter league here which is excellent. Now the weather has turned cold it's time to switch tactics and baits and lower your sights in terms of a target weight compared to the warmer months, and now you really do have to adapt and take even more care to monitor what's happening in your swim.

Fishing is often tricky and that's what this month's issue is all about, how to approach a typical commercial like this when the fishing is difficult. It's freezing cold but the fish will feed if you approach it correctly. Hope you enjoy the issue.
