This is my new bivvy heater. It features a built-in carbon monoxide detection system and a temperature sensor, allowing it to automatically switch on and off to regulate the internal temperature.
These days, even with modern technical clothing, I unfortunately still suffer badly with the cold. My feet and hands are by far the worst-affected parts of my body. I have tried all sorts of clothing, including very expensive options, but nothing really seems to do the job. No matter how advanced the materials are meant to be, the cold still finds its way in and takes the edge off what should otherwise be an enjoyable session.

This session was meant to take place last week, but a sick child put a stop to that. After spending two hours looking for signs of carp and finding nothing, I decided to settle into a swim I have confidence in and enjoy a bit of comfort. Starting that way puts you in the right mindset and gives you something solid to build on. The conditions looked very encouraging: 10°C during the day, 8°C at night, overcast with patchy sunshine, and a nice drop in pressure. Unfortunately, I would be home by the time it reached 983mb. For the next three nights it was forecast to sit consistently around 1012mb, which I actually prefer.
I like consistency rather than sharp rises and drops over a short period. My own head doesn’t enjoy those fluctuations, and it does make me wonder how they affect carp individually—because, like us, they must all respond differently. I settled on a swim called Gap.
I had spent some time the previous week looking for potential new winter spots and had marked a few out, including rediscovering this one, which had produced a good few carp for me many years ago. Tight lines and be lucky!
