I think I will bring my lure gear and go on a long walkabout way upstream.

I've had a few nice Esoxes there recently on spinnerbaits.

 

[Claudia Crowther]

Piking? Shame on you Ron......it's a roach bashing day/forum/smilies/confused_smiley.gif

 

[Neil Maidment]

That area of the Idle really looks a good stretch. I walked upstream a bit last year and there are certainly some very good "fishy" areas. I was quite surprised at the numbers of pike that appeared to be there in most swims.

Almost every time I thought I'd got the roach and dace going well, a pike would have a go.

That was the day when JL introduced himself to me with the words "you're fishing it all wrong, you can't use a centrepin like that".

It's strange, I never really knew him, but I miss him!

Claudia ..............I was piking when I met John on the Idle ,so I will pike

 

[Fred Bonney]

I'll roach,pike are nuisance fish!

Especially on a 2lb bottom.

 

[Cakey]

[Fred Bonney]

Oy!

 

[Cakey]

[Fred Bonney]

Bugger,looks like I could be late!

 

[Michael Howson]

Dont let them draw you Fred there only jealous. Not everyone can forget his fishing seat and still get reasonably comfortable.

PS. I will ring you over the weekend re a trip to the trent before we take the Idle apart .LOL.

 

[Cakey]

[Beecy]

im having a day off work next week Cakes to go and fish it, and will be trying to get down as often as i can now, so will report back on form

Ive not been as far down as haxey so far this season, had a few very good days on the upper river in the summer but blanked last time, im hoping this means the fish have started moving down
