Re: Retreat Farm Tench?

Agree there Stew, but surely sorting out the otter predation problem should be first on the list? After all, what is the point of restocking if the fish are just going to get eaten before anglers can get to catch them? If nothing is done, then eventually the same fate will befall Pool 1 as well over time.

Re: Retreat Farm Tench?

Thanks Wilkes. Shame it (Pool 2) seems to fish so poorly as the photo's make it look like a lovely place to go and fish. Been keen on bagging a new Tench PB (previous PB is about 2lb from Woodland View years ago) this year and thought Retreat might be the place to try first.

Retreat Farm Tench?

Thinking of taking a ride over to Retreat Farm on Friday and having a day's tench fishing on Pool 2, maybe a few crucians too! What's the average size of the tench in there and what baits work best?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Where will you be heading tomorrow?

Got out on the Staffs-Worcs for a few hours this afternoon with the lure rod hoping for some perch.
Didn't get any stripeys but did land a jack pike of about 9 inches on the bend near Bridge 7. Not what I was expecting, but just happy to be on the bank again.

Oh, also bumped into a BAA bailiff as well, for the first time ever.

Where will you be heading tomorrow?

I am, like every angler in England is bound to be, happy that we can start our angling exploits again tomorrow. So I'll be the first one to ask the question.

If you are able to, where are you planning to wet a line tomorrow?

I can't get out tomorrow, but I'm planning to get out on Thursday or Friday. I can't decide between perch/chub fishing on the Staffs-Worcs or cycling over to Retreat Farm and having a day tench fishing.
