Posts: 389 (15/07/08 17:25) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Fisherman Phil, Well done, nice to know the average size of the barbel has increased so much since last year and the start of the season. I cannot wait until later in the year - all those new doubles, I am really looking forward to catching them. Regards, Dave

As we all know, there aren't many coarse fish above PM weir - only those with an adipose appendage Anyone been on the river this week? Just wondering if the level's dropped much after a couple of relatively dry days?

If that is not another joke post, then that is a quite significant catch, and the only one I have been able to find record of from the Goyt. I couple of weeks ago I was watching a fish trying, very lethargically, to swim up a weir. Initially I thought it must have been a sea trout although the colour seemed wrong, so my thanks to those others who confirmed that brown trout also ascend weirs. I didn't know that, and that must have been the fish I saw. A good sized trout too, my guess would be about 4 pounds. Nao

Drew a blank on the barbel front today those rainbow trout kept me occupied though great sport, iam realy surprised how many iam catching they do like the old luncheon meat. There was another guy in the water with waders and what not free lining he seemed to be catching allot of silver fish and i fish way above pear mill. Last Edited By: barbelbob007 15/07/08 21:43.

Nao - not a joke post. Are eels rare in the Goyt? What are the records you refer to? I'd be interested to hear. Thanks, Rich

In reply to your questions: Salmon and Sea Trout We had 35 salmon pass up the Woolston Weir fish pass in Warrington. We also carried out some juvenile surveys in the lower reaches of the Goyt and found young fish that had hatched in 2007 and 2006 at several locations. In addition we undertook walkover surveys of the river this winter to look for new redds. Redds are 'spawning nests' and can be seen as patches of visible, fresh spawning activity. They give us an indication of what to expect from next years juvenile surveys, and again we found good evidence of salmon spawning in the lower reaches of the river. Chub and barbel Both species spawn in the Goyt, along with salmon, grayling a brown trout. We currently have no definite plans to stock into the river whilst population levels are gradually improving. We do monitor fish numbers in the river but assessing fishery performance is proving difficult as the summer rains of recent years have made it hard to get reliable data. If you want to speak further about the river, you can give Paul Bennet a ring (07768905966). He is our Fisheries Officer for the river and knows it as well as anyone. Kevin Nash Fisheries Technical Specialist North West (South Area) Now gents just to start something a angling club i will not mention bought barbel this year and put them in to the dane for later years has any body aproched stockport fed about spending some of there wealth on buying young barbel for the goyt for few years down the line . just a thought.? good article in angling times on stret pegging tight lines oilman nice article whattablanka

Posts: 490 (16/07/08 21:30) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Thanks Oilman for the report - very precise about the Salmon. I agree with your thoughts on the Fed, though I've heard that the Fed bailiff (sorry for not remembering his name) is a one man band at the moment (though I'm sure that's not news to some). On that basis, I guess he's the man to approach. whattablanka - Yes, real diversity especially also having caught the bream on opening day Cheers, Rich Last Edited By: richp 17/07/08 12:13.

I should have said RELATIVELY rare. Below the weir small Chub etc are very common. I had a dozen or more in an hour right under the A560 road bridge last year. Above the weir there are certainly less of them, and even fewer of them above the next weir at Otterspool. That's my experince anyway.

In over 30 years of fishing around Greater Manchester, I've only ever heard of 1 eel caught, a bit specimen from Sale Water Park some fifteen years ago. Now that they are in the river, hopefully we can look forward to some specimens in the surrounding stillwaters in years to come.

Posts: 491 (17/07/08 23:43) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Goyt Flyman - I'm astonished by the rarity of eels around mcr. I almost feel like a celebrity Fished a short session this evening. Blanked - not a sniff. River well up and chocolate coloured. Quite a bit of debris (for want of a better word) coming through. Out at the weekend too. I hear the Romiley Fair is taking place on Sunday. Anyone going? jdog - not fished the Etherow yet. I caught a bream in the one of the weirs lower down. Nice surprise really.
