According to 'moonstrike'fishings supposed to be grim on Saturday and average on Sunday.
I am hopeful that the levels on the Hants Avon will be going down then I shall be taking my cheesepaste down onto the main river. If its still up I shall go onto one of the side streams (if I can get in!) with the bread and maggots left over from yesterday.
Mike, if its throwing it down Saturday then the river will still be rising on Sunday!! Its a real pain in the bum for me, the only time I can go is Sunday morning, and it seems every week its terrible on Saturday night and Sunday.
Watching every weather report, ringing Rivercall and then fishing a stillwater most likely. Starting to suffer big chub withdrawal symptoms - back to dry fosty weather soon please!
Ron try Hardwick with maggot feeder. Fish into the wind if its a westerly or south westerly. Tench Roach and Chub a distinct possibility.Same tactics on St Johns.
get yourselves to hamstall fisheries at kings bromley its only ?4 a day and it's fishin fantastic, bream, roach, rudd, carp there all cming out,i fishedthere last saturday and had about 25-30 roach and rudd to 1lb-1lb 8oz....bye 4 now
I plan to catch at least 20 barbel this weekend every single one of them will weigh over 10 lb, well that's the plan anyway,the reality may be somewhat different.
Mike Parker, the river at Avon Causeway is back within the banks this eve if that helps at all,I would think from experience it will in that case be in its banks further upstream too.
I prefer it when it's out of the banks it seems to take the pace off it quite a bit.
As the rivers seem pretty much unfishable (where did the bank start again?), I reckon a session on the Oxford Canal for its big Perch is my best bet.
Boat traffic low, mild weather, could be a day for that three pounder!
John,
There are 20 barbel in the Avon then?,they must all go on holiday when I fish it.
I was hoping to have a go for barbel on the Severn this weekend but thats definately out
unless I try a couple of casts in the cricket ground at Worcester,the flow looked pretty steady there.
Might try the Warks Avon thats just within it,s banks at least.
