Derby Trent fish-in ???

[Paul H]

I'm thinking of arranging a fish-in on the Trent near Derby sometime before the end of the year - maybe the first weekend in November?

Just want to guage interest in it first as we would need to clear it with a local club with details of the number attending and so forth.

The stretches include barbel, pike, carp, bream, roach and some cracking perch (I saw one of 'em once).

How about a 'maybe' in the poll as well?

How about a 'maybe' in the poll as well?

.....and listing the names of the voters interested.

 

[Lee Swords]

I would certainly be interested :O)

 

[Paul H]

I though people could post on the thread but that the poll would give an easier view of overall numbers.

EC, I don't seem to be able to add another poll option unfortunately.

 

[Poshpaul (Angling Trust and PaSC)]

Up for this.

What with Boundary just over and me returning from Blenheim on my wedding anniversary!! I will reluctantly give it a miss .........damn and blast!! I know that river there so well.

 

[Cakey]

may be for the perch

 

[Morespiders]

Paul, Can i come if i bring some socks for you all? not mine of course, just ones i find hanging about with no foot in them

 

[Neneman Nick]

What`s the river like....shallow,deep,fast flowing etc..... ???
I could be tempted

 

[Paul H]

All of those thing Nick, depending on the swim you choose.

The stretches all around Derby can vary greatly in character within the space of 2-300 yards or so. It has long, shallow gravel runs that drop off into deeper, slower sections, marginal reeds, streamer weed beds with clear patches in-between and generally fairly comfortable swims.

It obviously depends on how much rain there has been, but it pushes through with some ooomph when the heavy rains do come.

I'll have a pair of thick socks for my fishing boots if you find some Mr Spiders, winter's not far off now and you can never have warm enough feet.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Sorry Paul, gonna have to give it a miss mate, maybe next time.

 

[Paul H]

Down your way on Sunday Steve, staying overnight in Taunton on the way to Cornwall.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Have a good time mate, we're heading for the South coast tomorrow.
S*d the Motorway, A38 all the way........
Get in touch with Frothey, he'll show you were the bass are

 

[Paul H]

Cheers mate, hope you have a good trip too.

 

[chavender]

what stretches you thinking of ,and when

 

[Paul H]

Probably somewhere around Swarkestone in Early November. Can't do any weekends in October due to existing commitments.

 

[slime monster]

Probably somewhere around Swarkestone

brilliant water........gutted!!

 

[Paul H]

Don't worry Slime, if it all goes well I'll sort another one out. Just about to leave my Premier Inn room to check out the river in Taunton. It looked very perchy as we drove over it on the way into town.
