Last week off the season and I'm going to miss out due to work. 2007/08 finishes as best fish around 8, nothing over 9 think its been 7/10 must try harder.

Bruce,

No - end our leave year is Feb - so I needed to take 2 days this week, otherwise I'd lose them. Think I should have gone to Salterford instead ?

Looks like I can get 1 more trip before the 15 th - but it depends on the weather week after next.

Try Warrington Anglers, Baymalton (£ 44 pa) and Lymm Anglers (£ 60 pa) websites, all the stretches are around J 18 M6 which will be convenient for you.

Otherwise - deferred Mondays visit to Wednesday with higher predicted temperatures. Parked CF. River less than a foot up and v clear. Fished a couple of swims I had n't tried before and a couple of bankers. Had one chub to show around 4 1/2 Ib. Missed a couple of short pulls (small chub), disappointing result despite excellent...

Jealousy , you can see the colour of the river bed - on the Goyt it's either sand or sh***y brown.

Congrats, nice fish.

I fished yesterday afternoon, I thought it may have a bit of colour but it was low and clear , I had 11Chub biggest was showing at just over 5lb , I had 2 more over 4lb the rest were between 2lb and 3lb , I also lost a Barbel I would say around 5lb , my own fault I gave it a bit too much line and it found a snag ,I finished the day with a lovely Grayling .

The flow is the most important thing , really slow water is best avoided unless you can find it over a stone bottom if it's pooled nearly still Don't bother it will most likely have silted up . I fish a couple of glides 8ft deep as long as you use a heavy float and bulk your shot up 12 inch or so from the hook you will be rite . As on any river finding the fish is harder than catching them most of the time . The Ribble being large in comparison to the Dane can be a bit daunting ,...

It felt like spring today , had a few hours on the river. The clear skies had meant the temperature over night had dropped and it was a very cold river , or at least it felt that way as I waded , the combination of conditions wasn't the best but never mind it was good to be out . Sorry no Barbel but a few Chub no monsters but looked good in the sunshine

Rivers "fine" - just tell the fish. Fished Sat 11.15 - 14.45. Thought there was a sale at CF - so many cars in the car park - had to use my imagination. Good weather brought out the Octoplus and co ordinated luggage guys. River reasonable "lowish" level, fining down so going clear. Sunday is forecast cold overnight and clear.

One bite - one fish - chub, would n't have pushed 4 Ib - but nice condition. PAAS banks well attended........but why o why if you have...
