With the hustle and bustle of Christmas and New Year celebrations behind us for another year, we now head through January and the lighter nights begin to greet us.

The dull and drudge of a dark December with it’s short days begins to fade into the distance and make way for some longer days, now’s the time to getting some much needed fresh air.

Time to dust down the rods and maybe have a day or two in the fresh winter / spring is coming air.

Time to cleanse the mind, take a single rod with some light tackle have a rove by the local river or canal and find a nice spot and enjoy some peace and quiet. Take in the winter sun and some local fresh air and just relax.

I personally use a Fox Explore Rucksack 30 Ltr, with some light tackle, a lightweight chair strapped to the rucksack with a rod and reel set up in my hand.

Great for getting back outside after a dark winter and getting you looking forward to a new fishing season that will soon be with us.

The best advice Doctors give for a healthy lifestyle is fresh air, water and stress free relaxation, everything fishing has to offer.

Try it sometime?
