I have read some articles ref Fiskerton and it is supposed to be pretty good, but not big fish but 5 - 7lb in abundance. Pellett did the trick. I beleive you get the day tickets from the local Post Office...

Hope this helps and good luck!! Keep us posted on any trips you have

Hi Andy I don't know this stretch myself and I doubt if you will get many replies during the close season. I can only suggest that you go for a look at the water and see if like minded peeps are doing the same .

Best of luck for the coming season.

I was out yesterday from 2pm till 8 pm had 4 Barbel 6 lb - 7lb not large but good fun on my Normark feeder rod which has been in storage for nearly 10 years I tried heavy ground bait for a change, I only had one fish on my normal Barbel gear the wind was blowing but no rain, I was in the Newark area. ( sorry hate giving exact location ) so far this season the best I have had from this stretch is 11. 6oz

I am out for final trip tomorrow so hope all goes well.

BEST OF LUCK...

Nice One Roger !

Shame about the lost fish, the larger fish probably favouring something a bit different?

Good Luck over the next couple of days...

Went for one more session on my favourite stretch "above Caythorpe" yesterday.

Started at about 3.00pm but little action at all 'til about 5.15 when the tip of my Elips rod went round. After a heavy fight in the strong current (I had to use 5 oz lead to hold bottom although there wasn't that much extra water) it cameto the net, twice, and on the third run the hook pulled. DOH! It looked like a possible double, too!

Fished for 5 hours on Saturday and didn't catch. Did have a bite on a big lob worm which went unnoiced.....BUGGER!!!

The wind was howling down the river so unless i had a 3 foot twitch i wouldn't of noticed a bite anyway as the rod tips were continually banging due to wind. Loads of weed plus what looked like toilet paper (NICE!) Was only able to keep a rod in water for 20 minutes tops before weed dislodged lead. Ended up fishing one rod as trying to keep two in the water...

Just got back from a 5 hour day session, my mate had a 10lb barb in like 10 minutes.... I repositioned a bait at ~noon and had a massive run, I think I know the strength of the fish in the flow of the stretch I was on and it was definitely a big fish.... Unfortunately It bust me off, I was not fishing light, DAM!! I have a bit of a *$@% thermometer, but it was reading 7 degrees C.

I was out Tuesday lunch time till 7-8 pm and the temp. dropped 10 degrees and I decided to pack up no bites or fish I have a week off so am hoping with the temp. going up I may have a last barbel or 3 tight lines to all for the last week of the season

The days are not too bad but the nights are dropping down but not quite freezing. The wind will be a SW and blowing a good un with some rain so it should be alright hopefully.

Took my first barbelling trip since the 12th Feb (been after Esox meantime). I ventured to a regular stretch that has (so far) not let me down this season 'above Caythorpe'.
It started off looking ideal, water level back down to normal, steady pace, not a lot of colour (but you can't have everything, I thought) but with a promising temp. reading of 46F (7.8C) , air temp a mild 42F and, apart from...

Was looking to get out on the river for one last bash before the season closes and was wondering how it is fishing?

I've not been out for a few months due to family commitments and have lost touch with the river conditions. Was looking to fish 1 hour max in each swim before moving on (unless catching!) and wanted to try some different things.

Any help much appreciated

18th of June and no posts!! Is no-one bothering this season?or cant we get on it.
Any info regards level and amount of debris coming down on the Nottingham to Newark section would be very much appreciated. Suspect its bank top and full of carp.
Good luck to all this season, Craig.
