Just climb over that fence and through the giant nettles...


Brown trout, chub, roach and...


Gudgeon - now it's a party!!


A beautiful little river common carp...


And Small River barbel number 27 of the season - lovely.

    1. A few around the 4 or 5lb mark, but mostly splashers while targeting the roach - they do love bread! How are you getting on?

    3. Good going. There seems to be even more carp in there this season (someone has emptied a lake somewhere). Lost two carp, including a double, just landed that little one. And I need to get myself down to The Thames for a barbel this year - good luck if you’re still out.
