Birmingham Anglers Association

I fish Uckinghall regularly and had two zeds from there last year - the biggest 12lb 2oz. Last winter I really fished it a lot - spending maybe 200 hours on it for pike and zeds. the results were unimpressive to say the least, and so my conclusions are either I'm a crap angler - quite likely - or there simply aren't that many in there. As someone else has said you probably stand a better chance fishing the rivers - I fished at Upton in December and had a zed on my first trip. Also had one on the Avon this winter, so think I will fish the rivers more and the pools less. They are in Mythe as well apparently, but I have never seen one banked.
The experts catch zeds from the Severn when it's going through like a train but its like sea fishing at Avonmouth with heavy leads and I have zero confidence when it's like that.
