Get stuck into to some BCFing reading

Practice your fishing knots
There’s absolutely nothing worse than losing a fish due to a poorly tied knot. Lucky for you, there’s a sure way to prevent this… practice! As the old saying goes ‘practice makes perfect’, and this is definitely the case when it comes to fishing knots. Practice tying your leader on to your mainline with an FG knot, or simply work on the basics with a Uni knot. There are bucket loads of fishing knots that you can tie to make sure that you don’t lose the fish of a lifetime. Here at BCF, we suggest picking a couple of knots that you like and become an expert at tying them.

Plan your next camp adventure
Planning your next camp adventure can often be just as exciting as the journey itself. It’s a time for you to be creative and get organised. Before you head out there are a few things that you’ll need to work out. First things first, you’ll need to get a good crew together. A camp adventure is only as good as the company you bring along, so make sure to let all your good mates know that you’re planning a trip. Secondly, you’ll need to work out where you want to go, and when. Once you find the answers to these questions, it’s time to work out the gear you’re going to bring along.

Whether it’s a chicken stir fry or a toasted sanga, nailing these dishes at home will make sure that once you hit the campgrounds, there’ll be a lot of smiling faces come dinner time.
