I had a couple of hours on the lower river this morning hoping for a repeat of last weeks good fortune. The snow melt which is currently running through the river is my excuse for not catching, but i had a thoroughly enjoyable morning trying out a variety of lures and watching a pair of […]

An early start saw me on the river by about 8.15am. The river was low, slow and clear – the weather cold, bright and about minus 4 degrees – I must be crackers. My original intentions were to have a search about on a few swims to see if i could catch any roach or […]
Hi Everyone – i have added a new blog to my blogroll – Whats The Catch. Its author Tom is a fishing acquaintance and a big friend of Nick Carter of “Angling For Something” fame. He’s taken a few months off work to go fishing in South America. I thought you might enjoy his blog […]
I spent the afternoon in the pleasurable company of Matt and Phil at Bradshaw Hall fishery in near Bolton. I have never been a big fan of commercial fisheries but find that in the winter they usually guarantee a good stream of bites. I find these bites invaluable when taking Matt fishing, as it was […]

With daytime temperatures of minus 5 and dropping to minus 20 at night, i thought it wise to leave the fishing gear at home. The fishing during the summer months can be fantastic but the season […]

Anglers who pay for the privilege of accessing the riverbanks are regularly disgruntled by the fact that canoeists often flout the law and float down our waterways without a care for who owns or maintains them.Many angling organisations expend huge […]
