I spent a couple of hours fishing the river at “the cliff” yesterday evening. It started chucking it down as i was setting up, and as usual the river coloured immediately and started to rise. (a good six inches in two hours). I started off trotting maggots through the faster waters at the top of […]

When we asked Matt which lake he wanted to fish on our second day, he of course wanted to fish the lake we had fished the previous day. A quick trip to the local village to purchase every tin of sweetcorn we could find and we were away. I caught 10 carp in the first […]
Monday morning saw Big Dave, Matt and myself setting off down to Shropshire to a commercial complex which Dave invited us to. Matt has never really got amongst the carp before and had been looking forwards to this trip for ages. There are 5 lakes at the complex all of which contain large numbers of […]
I had a short couple of hours on my local river this afternoon, and found the water levels very low. I fished what has recently become my favoured swim, and after a slow start caught some small roach, chub and gudgeon – standard fare for this stretch of the river. About an hour into the […]

Tonight i tried out a new tackle combination which was forced upon me as on arrival at the river bank, i opened the boot of the car to see all of my gear minus my rod. Not the best start to the evening. As so often happens midweek, i am so eager to get out […]
I took a trip up to the River Ribble yesterday afternoon, to see if i could catch any fish from the “hot” swim which has produced big barbel, chub and sea – trout. On reaching the river bank i really fancied my chances of getting amongst the fish, as the weather was glorious, the river […]
Despite the title of this post being “fishing in tenerife” i only managed to get out for one short session during the week i spent in Playa de Las Americas. The sun was hot, the beer was cold, the snorkelling fantastic and fishing was soon forgotten about. I did manage just the one early morning […]
I spent my usual Tuesday evening fishing with Tony on the river. Things started well with Tony catching the small sea trout in the photo above from Phils favourite swim. It was so fresh that it still had sea lice on, something i have never seen before its amazing how big these lice are. Tony […]
I had an evening on the local river with my dad. After recent rains the river was well up and the a very dirty brown colour. I wasnt too hopeful of a good evenings sport, but i had arranged this session with the old fella for a few days now, and it was an opportunity […]
