    Collingham weir pegs 1 to 10

    Sorry Graham and Neil didn't mean to come across rude. iv no barbell under my belt yet so have nothing to report on really. my first trip was a blank and it was just for the day so I was not disheartened. never fished a water like the Trent before so there was a lot to learn from such a powerful...

    Collingham weir pegs 1 to 10

    thanks john your very right in what you said. it just seems a waste to have a few swims empty if all people want to do is fish pegs 1-3 im happy to book at the whole ten pegs but its hard to get people to commit to paying for it. and with the weir pool pegs being fully booked till end of year I...

    Collingham weir pegs 1 to 10

    thanks chaps. just though id put the feelers out there to see what the crack was. I do believe that having to book the whole 10 pegs just to fish the weir pool is unfair but I suppose they the club are guaranteed £100 every 24 hours. every day till end of season.

    Collingham weir pegs 1 to 10

    Hi Terry, I would be happy to fish peg 10 if that's what was left. as it is still close enough to the weir. I know everyone wants the weir pool but it seems a shame to have the other 7 pegs sitting there not being used. if pegs 1-3 are all that people want.

    Collingham weir pegs 1 to 10

    Hi All I was just wandering if anyone has booked the weir pool swims ( 1 to 10 I believe ) when the season starts again. I hear that these pegs can only be booked as a whole. I would like to fish the weir pool end but without block booking these I don't think id get much chance of getting near...

    Boat hire on the trent

    Good points all round really. I cant see why fishing cant be fished from a boat. at the end of the day as far as i am a wear anglers pay to from the bank of say collingham weir because the banks ( LAND ) belong to someone else like a farmer. therefore collingham weir anglers club pays the land...

    Boat hire on the trent

    That's understandable. I though I would ask the question. I am not from collingham area so didn't know what the rules and regs where with boating etc. I think il stick to the bank for fishing then. thanks guys.

    Boat hire on the trent

    Thank you Gavin I didn't really think of that. but surely the club has the right to fish from the bank only and not the water in general. im a member of a club in Suffolk. and I have the right to fish from the bank but. iv seen many of people fishing from kayaks who are not member's of the club...

    River state collingham weir

    Evening all, travling up to collingham weir next week. And was wondering what the colour and pace of the water is like as we have had a little rain. Anyone been up there last few days who can let me know that would be great.
