Carp fishermen that fish overnight sessions by the lakeside will no doubt value a good high quality angling bivvy shelter to keep out the rain and wind that the UK and Europe unavoidably dishes out while we are angling. If an fisherman becomes wet, cold and uncomfortable whilst angling they will quickly give up and go home.
Bivvies have significantly improved in design and build quality in recent years with many new improvements in frame design, textile quality and weight problems so now the fisherman does not want to invest a lots of money on a shelter or spend a night under a flimsy brolly whilst fishing as a lot of our predecessors.
For fishermen who still prefer an brolly type bivvy which can quite useful for squeezing into little swims the new designs have now become a wider, much more oval form and can contain storm sides which stop some wind and rainfall coming in from the sides. The middle pole can now be taken out giving room for a bedchair, holdalls along with other kit. Most bivvy brands now also offer an overwrap choice for their brollies so it is possible to quickly convert a brolly to a bivvy with a fold up doorway and front.
In the event you fish long sessions within the UK or abroad and prefer a bit more room or like to bring a guest you will find now numerous significant, two man sized bivvies presently on the market produced by several manufacturers such as the well recognized ones such as Fox, JRC, Trakker, Nash and Chub. The more substantial bivvies are designed for retaining two bedchairs along with all of the required kit for example cool boxes, cooking equipment, bait bags etc should you wish to stay on the bank for a longer session.
Numerous bivvy tents which are not designed specifically for fishing have fibreglass pole systems that will need threading through the top sheet which might be a bit of a pain on your own or you're trying to assemble in high winds, most fisherman found this system too difficult and time intensive if they were only fishing quick overnight sessions so bivvy manufacturers came up with a rigid aluminium or steel frame system comparable to a pram hood design. Most fishermen now tend to prefer this style of bivvy as they're incredibly strong and fast to set up and store away even in windy weather.
The quality of the textiles now employed in modern day bivvies has much improved in recent times and most textiles are stronger and more water-proof than previous materials and thus a lot less likely to rip when erecting or packing away, a great tip is to spray your bivvy with Fabsil every now and again to keep it in excellent condition. Some bivvy brands now manufacture camouflage coloured fabrics for the ultra cult anglers.
New features with several modern bivvies contain zip off fronts or fold back sides so an fisherman can have the bivvy front open in very good weather or if they wish to keep an eye on the lake, some companies also supply anti mosquito mesh fronts or shrouds which will stop the pests from biting throughout the summer months and even ventilation panels must you get too hot.
When buying a new bivvy think about the above features, and select one of the reputable suppliers and best to be prepared to invest a bit of money for a high quality bivvy which will last you numerous years and keep you warm and dry whilst angling on the bank.
