Sion Farm

[maver man]

Hi guys,
Do any of you lot fish this venue if so can you give me a little info on it i.e. best baits for carp and silvers, if they have a e.a. bailiff or if any one checks you tackle and bait and also what is the best method for both carp and silvers?

Thanks.

Regards,
Adam.

Which County is this in?

 

[maver man]

lol it is up the road from Cutnall Green not far from Elmbridge Fishery.

 

[geoffmaynard]

Is that near Charlies house? ;-)

 

[maver man]

Chadersley Corbett?

 

[geoffmaynard]

Don't you swear at me young man!
The more information you give, the easier it is for us to help you. So - do you mean Elmbridge in Surrey?

I think Sion Farm is pole only isnt it?

I would go for the roach with a light hooklength and use caster as bait or chopped worm or even small pellets.

The carp should respond well to bigger pellet or corn at this time of year and I would use the strongest elastic youve got and a lower breaking strain hook length, fish as close to the island as you can and keep the feed going in every few minutes.


if the rules have changed and anglers are now allowed to use rods then I would chuck a small method feeder out to the islands, keep the casting as accurate as you can and just enjoy what you catch.

I live 15 mins from Sion farm Nr Halesowen, if thats where you mean.

I have not been to the lake in about 6 months so i dont know whats happening lately.

Its not pole only tho, theres some very very big Carp in there...

" if they have a e.a. bailiff or if any one checks" Thats a strange question to ask???

 

[Day Breamer]

Well i do know you have to drive right past the owners house and they know exactly who is coming and going, but last i knew the owner was quite lax in what goes, despite a few signs saying 'No this' or 'No that' alot of other anglers have usually said how the owner dont really mind so long as you dont take the mickey and start fires or leave litter etc.

It only takes one nutter to spoil it for everyone tho, and like i say its been 6 months since i was last there so i dont know what its like right now.

I know it is but i like to use hemp when fishing and in some places your not a loud to use it plus.

Thanks matey.
have you happened to of fished willows marsh its not far from sion?

 

[Day Breamer]

Hiya, i havnt been to Willow Marsh funnily enough, but yea its quite close, to be honest with you i just mainly fish for Bream and Tench, so its those kind of venues that attract me most.

That said i do know of most places in the area, and from most people i talk to the name Sion always crops up in conversations, far more than most other venues in the area.

 

[maver man]

Really.
I fished Willows once with my granddads cousin wasnt fishing to good tho i had 2 carp n lost 1 near the net no one else was catching really only the odd carp hear and there one old guy didnt even catch all day
I love tench and bream elmbridge is good for silvers on had 1 bronze from there mainly on pellet and corn fished over pellet, corn, maggot and caster.
Which venues do you favour for tench and bream.

Adam.

 

[Day Breamer]

Im a member of a lake down south, holds big Bream but its quite some way so i dont get there as often as i'd like.

They go to a reported 13lb there, but ive only had them to 8.3



I wish there was a more local place to Brum that had 10lb + Bream in it (maybe there is?)
I know of Maver Larford but not tried it, it sounded a bit too comercial for me and too busy and too many rules etc.

Fishing the main pool at Sion at the week-end could be likened to hunting 'U Boats' in the Second World War There is no respite from the constant explosions in the water as controller float follows controller float, follows large lead follows method feeder. Last time I moved to the back pool for some peace and quiet. The large carp are gone but there's a good head of roach rudd and bream. I was informed the roach exceed 3lb
