My favourite winter barbel swim just above the the bush on the far bank casting over to the V in the ice. It is on the inside of a large bend. When in flood on top of the bank had some decent barbel.
Not my picture
Yes this is looking up to church deeps. It is above the Shawes arms. The deeps start on the sand bank.. About 500 yards walk.. This were most of the you tube videos of the silver fishing are filmed.
Not my picture this is the lower tidel free stretch of river has ice forming this morning. These are the pegs for the silver fishing and the pike in winter. They get there very early for the log peg.
will arrange a day to show you the around when your card arrives,a better variety of swims on this card and not snag pits more gravel than bed rock plates and boulders with great access and car parks right on the bank
only fished once first monday of the season .had covid again and circulation problem came back for 12 days after so lost nearly 3 weeks with them.

One tip I can give. Its is very easy to get lost on there at night if you walk to bottom fields when the mist rolls in. There is a tractor track runs across the fields follow that not the river will get you back to field below car park. Had most success in 3rd field were it goes to the right big...
