Warwickshire Avon

check out Bobs angling on youtube, catching Barbel on the float from a snaggy swim with a good pace of flow. Many an angler of the Carp variety should watch it to see how a real Angler can fish sucessfuly. Skill.

12lb line for trotting though ...

 

[Neil Smart]

Think it might be 10 Barry (pedant alert). But what a great piece of skill, upper reaches I think Manor?

He changed it to 12lb and 10lb hooklength mate . It's a great way to catch barbel ...
the stretch is above fladbury apparently ?? Im not familiar with the area myself so didn't recognise it .

Yes I thought after I was wrong about the line.
The avon is looking very good with good flow and some colour. Had a good look around some old lower haunts yesterday p.m and was encouraged by reports that a couple of barbel caught including a little 'pup, I had a quick dusk session, and also had a small barbel, that is a great sign that maybe just maybe the river is clawing it's way back.
Encouraging.

Good information. Thanks Neil. I will definitely take a look tomorrow.

Level OK too.

Level OK too.

Thank you mate.

Anyone looking for this it’s Rob’s (although technically he is a Bob) Angling.

Agree re the W.Avon, reports of smaller Barbel being caught during matches on my local stretch. Definitely a good sign for the future.

I think it’s the place above MF. The other bank is closed until further notice but that side can be fished with a day ticket from the pub (apparently).

 

[Mark Evans 2]

Yeah you used to be able to fish the pub side and pay for a day ticket at the bar (if we're talking about AM) There didn't seem many pegs though, I think I only found 1 or 2 at most.

Yes I’m talking about there. I’ve never fished that side.

The other side has been shut for a while as the owner passed away, but people have been fishing it after cutting the locks and ramming the gate open.

Caused a bit of controversy the other week as someone put out a YouTube video fishing it and the comments soon filled up saying “it’s closed”. Claimed he didn’t know it was shut but something didn’t add up.

I was on MF a few weeks ago and there were some undesirables fishing the last peg at the point. There’s a sign up now and the EA have been turning up to check the last few weeks.

 

[Mark Evans 2]

Yeah shame it closed, I won't miss her little dog though, that thing had my ankles more times than I'd like

Would be good if the BAA 'acquired' AM . . .!

I watched that youtube vid and thought the same - A's Angling Adventures?

Email John Williams and suggest it .... see if you get taken seriously

Yeah that’s the one.

He’d fished there before a while ago so knew the craic with paying on the bank. But in the video he asks “can I fish here” which says to me he knew it wasn’t open.

It all kicked off (rightly so) on a FaceBook group with the deceased owners daughter confirming 100% it was shut and people weren’t to fish it’.

He put a follow up message on the video “apparently this place is closed so you probably shouldn’t fish here” which didn’t go down very well.

He was at MF the same week and people would definitely have told him it was shut.

I like his videos and he’s been through some crap the last 18-months from a health perspective but he’s lost a lot of respect from the W.Avon community, me included.

 

[Mark Evans 2]

If the BAA took over it wouldn't be in any better state than it is now, probably even more fires and swimmers once those Yellow signs went up

No night fishing

you know it Mark .... then you would get mugged off if you contacted them about it

Not sure about his vids as his voice annoys me (lol) but seems a decent enough lad and his keenness is infectious! Health issues aside if he's going to be in the public eye, 'guesting' a well known spot that's everybody knows is closed is one thing - publishing it is simply daft!
