Your background is doing half the work, and most people never look at it. Rods, barrows, buckets and a bright bivvy turn a thirty pounder into a car boot sale. Water, reeds or a treeline behind you and the fish is the only thing in the frame. Pick it when you set the swim up, not when the fish is on the mat. Ten seconds, once, and every fish that session inherits the decision. One more thing the background must never do, and that is give the venue away. No signs, no named lodges, no landmark a stranger could pin on a map. Save this post to come back to, and follow for a big giveaway on here tomorrow night.
