Black Cat Lightning Float – the bright yellow temptress!
Autumn has set in on the River Po, known in Italy as ‘Il Grande Fiume’.

The abundant vegetation that grew rampantly along the river banks in the summer now looks forlorn as it slowly loses its lush green colour. However, one plant refuses to admit defeat.

Fishmeal baits, on the other hand, are my preferred choice for long-term feeding grounds,” says Illner. Illner tested one of the large lakes for a...
