UK: Is it OK to fish a commercial lake using a centre-pin reel?
I'm a complete newbie to angling, and I'm going to my local coarse lake for the first time this weekend to give it a go! As it's my first time I'm going to get a peg on the 'novice' lake that's stocked mostly with silverfish and a few small carp.
I've done a bit of casting practise on a field near my house, and must admit I find a fixed-spool reel quite fiddly as I have butter fingers! I find it much easier to cast using my Dad's fly reel, which has no gears. Could I use this for the sort of angling I'll be doing at the lake? I'm only doing it for a couple of hours of quiet fun anyway, not for any sort of competition.
Also, does having coloured line have any disadvantage over clear line when on a lake? A friend has a spare spool of 10lb line she's let me have, but it's yellow.
Thanks!
People have said centrepins & fly reels are different - true. But put a lot of backing on a fly reel & the experience will not be utterly disimilar.
Your current problems with the fixed spool reel will seem like nothing compared to the issues you'll have with a centrepin - slow retrieve & having to feed off line to cast will become very wearing.
On small, fast waterways where casts are short (no need to feed of yards of line) & control a priority a centrepin makes sense but on lakes there's a good reason why 99/100 anglers use FSRs.
Check you're using the FSR correctly - unless you're a real window licker it should be very simple; now if you were trying to cast with a multiplier I could understand...
10lb is too much (thick/stiff) for silverfish so the colour is moot; 1-200yds of c.4lb is more what you're after for mixed float fishing.
