Tactics:
Legering 15 mm or 18 mm halibut pellets with hemp feed. or smaller hard pellets. in a blockend feeder in the faster water upstream for barbel. Float fishing. either stick or waggler, on rod and line is excellent for mixed nets of small silver fish on maggots. Casters will sort out a bigger stamp of fish. especially downstream where the depths drop to 8ft. Hemp and ares good in late summer fished down the middle on a waggler. Block-end feeder with maggots cast under far bank tree cover will give a chance of a bigger chub. Good Swims: Below the Arrow mouth on the gravel run is very good for barbel. |
