Also the winter floods have made some serious changes, with the odd large tree wedged here and there One of my fav swims is no more Tight lines, Neil

I was fishing a mere close to Holmes Chapel last night and the rain was very heavy but the A50 was dry driving out of Holmes Chapel towards Alsager, depends whats happening above Congleton. The Dane rises and falls so quickly, it takes a serious flood to stop the fishing for a long period. The flash floods change the river every year, a stretch above Holmes Chapel had a very productive barbel swim but floods took it away completely, straightened the swim out and the cover gone along with the barbel. A bit more rain today should put a good bit of colour in the river. Good luck

I had a look at the river Sunday lunchtime before the rain and while it wasn't high it was well mucky and a load muckier now no doubt. Plenty of time though till 14th March.

I've not been able to access this site at work for ages, seems I can get around the blocks and it then denies me access - anyone else getting barred from Forums despite being logged in ? Last few years been out on 16 June and last few years had a few chub all around 2 Ib, this year will hold off for a while, only caught the odd barbel in June anyway !

Posts: 65 Jun 17 09 12:25 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I went for a few hours last night, the river was clearing and normal level, no barbel and did not see any but that is not unusual for the bright conditions. It is sad to say some good pegs have been lost to flood damage. I had 3 chub in the 2lb to 2.8lbs range all looking very healthy and very pleasingly taking my new recipe boilies, Carp and Chub like them so hopefully the barbel will. I saw a mink on the river again but very few minnows, strange for the Dane. I shall have to go again tonight as it has been raining most of the day and if the water has coloured up then the open patches in between the weed are favourite for me. I found a new swim, one swim disappears another appears. I'm glad to say the Kingfishers are still there. Last Edited By: DaneSevern Jun 17 09 12:28 PM. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 65 Jun 18 09 12:44 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I went again last night for a couple of hours, no barbel but a chub and one eel, boilies and pellets for the rest of the summer unless I'm on the slugs. I feel the barbel are there but feeding time is in the dark at moment unless you fish into the snags which is not the best idea. It could be a late night tomorrow then!

Posts: 65 Jun 20 09 12:03 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	No eels tonight but managed my first barbel of the season, a little splasher and on my own boilies which the eels are leaving alone! A chub as well in really good condition.

Posts: 344 Jun 21 09 6:36 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Eels? Carp? Are we talking about the Dane ? I DO remember anglers talking about a couple of carp above the motorway about 15 years ago. I thought they were an urban myth. Never caught one or met any one who had/has. For the record my eel may have weighed in at an ounce or maybe two ounces and I caught it on caster. Didn't think it was a fish just a bit of mucky weed on the line. Talking oddities I have caught a decent orfe in the river 3.14 on maggot and spotted a much bigger one during the same session.

Posts: 25 Jun 21 09 10:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Managed a rare species myself last night, a proper bream of about 3lb 8! I think they're quite common downstream but this was from cotton farm! Also two small barbel and 3 chub, one of which was decent. They were all taken on the pole with pellet (for a change). Talking of carp i've seen three in a peg one time, commons that looked 8 to 10lb. Also think that theres a few on manor farm and there used to be some at croxton from what others have said.

Posts: 1057 Jun 22 09 12:14 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The Lower Dane can at times contain a lot of Bream (and Carp) as they swim up from the Weaver confluence in Northwich. There are Bream in small pockets further upstream and personally I've had them (3lb+ fish) from several miles above Holmes Chapel, but this was a number of years back and was always from the same swim (deep hole 9ft deep). More recently I was talking to an angler on the bank last winter, who claimed to still catch them from said length on slower bends.

Can anyone confirm where you park to access the river between Bulls Wood and Bostock Green, or is it a case of a long hike down the canal from Croxton Lane, with the length starting just past the canal flash? I am not a man, I am Cantona!
