Hi Guys just wanted advice on staying safe as possible when fishing in dirty rivers. Your advice so don't catch any strange or funny bugs? I have had bilharzia before etc.

On a more serious note bilharsia is the least of your worries.
But you can stay safe if you are a real germophobe. Wash hands with clean water and soap after baiting up. Cover hands if you have broken skin on your hands
Dont bite off rigs to put on another,dont put line in your mouth. Use waders if you need to or want to enter the water. Dont eat the fish you catch.
I dont know the river but take care and you should not be to worried.
