Re: Wye Stacklands fly water

A "Flying C" on a fly only water? Tut,tut.

Re: I reckon that's my lot.....

If the the fish kill last June on the Warwickshire Avon hadn't happened I might be tempted to have a go once the river drops a bit and the stinking,black sludge left on the bank dries out. With fish stocks so low,I can't see any pleasure,at the moment, in sitting there,everything covered in mud,waiting for a bite that will more than likely never happen.
Maybe,we won't get any more rain,the river will drop and clear,the banks will dry in the next nineteen days. If this happens(doubtful)I'll venture out deadbaiting for a late season Pike on the LAA water at Wasperton. Either way I'm reasonably happy with my season on a "dead" water,had quite a few very nice Chub,a few Eels and Pike. Oh,and a lot of blanks. As the song says "Things,can only get better",roll on next season with my new pb target speices.

I reckon that's my lot.....

on the river this season. It rains,a lot,river comes up,a lot. Couple of dry days,river drops,one more day and it will be perfect. I make plans to go fishing,rod set up,tackle bag loaded,bait out of the freezer ready for the next day.
Overnight it rains,a lot,river comes up,a lot. No fishing for me,again.
Rods cleaned and put away,reels cleaned,line respooled and put away. Tackle box and bag sorted and put away.
Roll on Summer,sick of bloody rain.

Re: New lake

Well,the Avon has gone down nicely and looks fishable. The only problem being that the banks are covered in a layer of smelly,extremely slippery silt making access to the water/platforms a tad hazardous.
The Grand Union is not looking good,apart from towpaths looking like paddy fields the water,where I have veiwed it,and probably well beyond,from above the Fosse Way to below Budbroke industrial esate in Warwick,is heavilly coloured with red clay run off with visibility less than two inches.
Saw two Otters on my local pool(College Pool @ Wasperton,LAA water) on Friday Dec 29th and found chewed fish remains and a Bream around a pound with bite marks on it barely alive in the margin on Sunday Dec 31st.
The chances of me getting out fishing anytime soon are looking pretty slim,hopefully a spell of dry weather will dry the river banks up and make it safer to approach the water. Until then I'm just planning my close season/next season campaign for a fish I haven't targeted seriously for over two decades. A new pb is the aim,difficult but not impossible.
The wind while fishing. The only time I consider wind direction when fishing is when choosing a peg. Will it be in my face all day(not pleasant in colder weather),can I find a wind break on the other bank,is it from behind/from left or right,will I need my brolly as a wind break?

Re: New lake

Anyone fishing? Looks perfect for the "you can only catch Barbel when the rivers well up and colour in the water" brigade.
