Re: Nafford and eckingtonI've fished Nafford a few times for barbel but not recently, about 2 or 3 years ago. Just caught the odd one or two up to 6lb. Also caught chub and bream.

Re: Nafford and eckingtonNafford was very good up until a couple of years ago, however catching barbel from Nafford now is a struggle, and of course there are Otter there, I have seen Otter a couple of times in the water, and plenty of Otter prints. It's a shame because it screams Barbel, but the reality is very different.

Re: Nafford and eckingtonI've found in the past it's good to travel light when fishing Nafford and move around a bit, there's so many good spots it doesnt pay to get bogged down in one place all day, some reasonable pike just after the snaggy bit where the water calms down, nice Perch if you can bounce a ledger off the wall where the boats tie up (or even work a small lure or spoon), Chub below the point of the island...it's a place where it pays to think slightly differently and experiment a bit, suffice to say I've never blanked there.

Re: Nafford and eckingtonFished Eckington Wednesday, even went to the effort of prebaiting Tuesday evening arrived @ 4am expecting a Bream fest but was a struggle (needs some water) had just the 1 Slab, 3 Skimmers, 1 Chub & Lots of snotty Perch & Bleak.
