    Tench 2022

    I did book online for the reason you mentioned. About 20 years ago I fished St Johns with some friends and said I would never go again, it was rammed and not my type of fishing. Having recently noticed a couple of the lakes are bookable and the potential of the tench fishing I thought I would...

    Tench 2022

    Had my first trip to linear targeting the tench. Although no monsters showed, I did manage three tincas, biggest this 6.12 and a rogue carp in the 24hr session. Two falling to three red maggots, the other and the carp falling to worms

    Grayling

    Hi Edward. They do wriggle a bit. I have found that they are very similar to eels, in the case that the tighter you hold them the more they move. I also would never actively target them in warmer weather, as you only have to look at them and they keel over. Good fish care and having everything...

    Grayling

    Having an afternoon owing from work, I thought I would have a couple of hours on the River Dove targeting the ladies. This turned out to be a red letter day! Fishing the Doveridge area, trotting a float, baited with red maggots, I managed to catch about twenty grayling, topped by my first 2...

    Zander

    First fish of 2022 from the River Avon near Evesham. We managed to catch three Zander and a chub, this one on dead roach, all the others on mackerel. Who says they don’t take sea baits🤷‍♂️ I wonder if this was down to the clarity of the river with mackerel being a smelly bait?

    Whats your PB?

    Mega fishing Jim, I don’t think there was a better angler on the Dove, you know the river like the back of your hand and your results speak for themselves. Hopefully you will add a 19+ to that list this winter and it will be fully deserved 👍🎣

    Over the bloody moon.

    Congrats on the pb Richard 👍 fantastic 🐊

    Winter tactics.

    Totally agree with Richard’ s advice and I usually try to target my visits, when there are favourable conditions, fishing for other species when not. As you are probably already aware Simon, on the rivers you are targeting, you are fishing for one bite, so don’t put too much bait in. Good luck...

    Perch

    Chris, I am no expert, but do agree that predators mainly mix with their own year classes. If I was catching lots of jacks, then I would assume that there's no big girls about and I would move. I have caught different sized perch from the same area, but the bigger ones were definitely on the...

    Barbel venues for holiday suggestions.

    Hi Eddie, No day tickets on the River Dove. I would of thought the Wye would be your best bet for a barbel or two and a beautiful part of the country 👍

    Quiver with room for Fox specialist Brolly

    looking at buying the fox specialist brolly, but now a bit unsure after hearing it's a bit bulky. Will this fit in the fox specialist 3 rod quiver?
