The river burst it's banks upstream near Hazelands and the sluices have been opened fully. It's charging through up there.
I found one small dead roach in the field. This section normally looks like a canal but is about 5ft down on normal with the sluice open. The tide mark on the trees is about 13ft on normal levels but then the banks are quite steep in some places. Kris |

Hmmmmmmmm !!!! | ||

What's going on indeed !
Must admit it's well out of sorts so far......managed to sneak a small one the other day I did see a few as the water was clearing. Once it's cleared fully a hike with a bait bucket is in order to try to find 'em ! Feel they have moved somewhere ! Will update you when I get out....... Cheers Paul M........ |

Not been anywhere near freshwater for a good few weeks! Im ashamed! I'll hopefully get a session this weekend, although with the footy season starting and Bristol City at home, its looking a little unlikely!

Its been far too long since I've fished the Marden, or any river with barbel in for that matter! Has anyone been recently and just not posted? Thinking of
popping out this weekend!
Cheers Adam |

Adam,
Not fished it since the 1st week of August I'm planning a winter 'campaign', if I can find the time AND resist the lure of other rivers/species |

haha I know what you mean Paul, its been difficult to pry myself away from football this season, especially with Bristol City doing so well in the
Championship, they lost last night though so perhaps its a sign for a change!

Hi all, only just found this lovely little river, went out for a bit of a scout around last week , just to see what it looked like, did a lttle fishing and
caught a few chub, a decent size too for the size of the river.
Then went out this week for a proper go and had 4 barbel and 6 chub. The barbel were up to 7lb, chub up to close on 4, all in all a really enjoyable few hours and a place i intend to revisit to look for that marden double
Get out there and get wet!!!

Well done Kev!
Dave, Premier angling do tickets for the Calne stretch, as do T.K tackle in Calne itself. Season is about £20 i think and day tickets are probably about £3-£4. Not sure where the Wroughton stretch tickets are available from, but probably the same shops! Hope this helps, Adam |
