    Agreed, and add Lewis’s syndicate in there too as he closed his waters. I’m itching to go fishing but can wait another week, this rain will have helped too putting some cooler water in the rivers.

    Big fish kill Warks Avon. THOUSANDS DEAD FISH.

    Was passing by and just been to Wasperton LAA (not to fish) and it’s not a pretty sight, not to mention the stench. Two Barbel and several chub without even looking hard and that’s in the first meadow. Likely washed down from upstream and caught on the large overhanging willow. I’ve waited...

    Terrible news but positive that they have your ear. What are they thinking then is the cause ? Farmers runoff or sewage dump ?

    Apologies, I misread the sentence. I joined Barford last season and had none depute being on some lovely swims, did have some lovely chub though on hemp / meat.

    Flat pellets

    Make your own. Get some existing pellet, put them in a food blender, best an egg, add into the pellet powder, mould into a paste, shape paste into a “slice of bread” shape, cut up, boil. (Dependant on how hard you want them). I did this the other week and made some “chop-ups” for the season.

    Terrible news, I saw some lovely fish over the Barford bridge last week. Some clonking chub. Is this one big fish (barbel) dead or many ? Either way is bad. Although how has that barbel ended up in Warwick though as that is upstream of Barford ?!? Warwick ~ Barford ~ Wasperton ~ HL
