Years ago I read of the local bylaw which forbade anglers from fishing at night using a light beamed in the water to attract fish. In later years, expert anglers such as **** Walker et al wrote on many occasions that showing a light at night, even as little as a lighted cigarette, is detrimental to your chances of success.
Over the years I have come to take the view that perhaps certain species of fish are attracted to lights, eg roach and bream, whilst others such as carp are scared by lights.
I certainly don't think the wearing of headlamps to land barbel on the Trent scares them.
But what do you think?
