26th October Bristol Avon and more chub

I could only fish for the afternoon today and an hour or two into darkness. I was going to a stretch where there are a good few chub and some large barbel. I was going to use two rods for a change. One baited with pellet and the other with a boilie that I've used over the last couple of years. The →

24th October Bristol Avon and plenty of chub

I did manage to get out last week on Wednesday to use up some dead baits from the chew trip. River low and clear but still caught a few pike but only jacks. I'm sat here now and the rain is falling however it's not to last long and further east on the upper Bristol Avon hardly any fell during the →

October 18th Chew Valley lake in a boat with Andy

A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts. The shrink says, 'Well, I can clearly see you're nuts.' The lake has not been fishing very well for pike since it's opening. Sure enough there have been some good pike an even 30's but not in the numbers of former years. The lake is very weedy and the water temperature →

16th October Bristol Avon Fishing with Laurie and Ian

First of all a bit of news. Phone answering machine message - '...If you want to buy marijuana, press the hash key...' Ian had contacted me to say that he and Laurie had been fishing further down the river in the deeper parts on the Bristol Avon and had been catching lots of smaller fish but wanted to do a bit of →

14th October Bristol Avon

I was going to fish a different area this afternoon to see what was about barbel wise. The sky had turned bright blue, or perhaps the best definition is that the cloud had gone leaving the sky empty. Arriving at about 3pm I walked and looked at several swims and there were a couple that caught my eye. First was a deeper pool →

13th October Bristol Avon

Well here I was trying for those barbel. I arrived at 3pm As I walked along I came across Paddy whom I had not seen this season so I spent the best part of an hour chatting and finding out he has caught some huge fish during the summer both chub and barbel. He was fishing away with bread flake and worms →

11th October Bristol Avon piking and a little fun.

I was in the deepest South West when the SMS came from Andy Cowley saying do I fancy an afternoon out on the river. I was on my way back up the motorway when I remembered this and got the better half to phone him. Well I never I soon got that special pass that allow me to drop her →

10th October Bristol Avon and a rare double figure barbel

I had a couple of pints of casters and hemp which needed to be used up from my fishing fridge in the garage. It's a great time of year where small baits can catch barbel and chub. My choice of swims was one where there was a snag which contains some good size chub and a few barbel. The aim was to bait →

7th October Bristol Avon

I guided a couple of good anglers Nick and Steve today, they wanted to catch chub and barbel. The main objective was to learn about swim selection and read the water and try and find some. Followed by learning a few different methods. We met early in the morning and made our way to the river. We fed a few swims with pellets →

6th October Bristol Avon

I'm planned to guide tomorrow with a couple of anglers and since I had not been on the river for a while I though I had better look around and see if the fish were still in the normal places. This time of year can sometimes be difficult with the water being cooler and the weed beds dying back the →

4th October Chew Lake piking

I had just returned from a weeks holiday in Cornwall where the temperatures reached summer Mediterranean standards of almost 28c in October. Has the world gone mad? It was time to get back to the fishing again. What could be better than the 2nd day of the pike fishing on Chew for the year. Andy Cowley and I arrived at 8am and had →

22nd September Bristol Avon

Rob Stone had been catching plenty of barbel from the river Wye but had not caught any from the Bristol Avon. His challenge was for me to show him a few barbel swims and hopefully a few feeding resulting in him breaking his duck. We were soon making our way to the swim which I call the 5 minute swim. Out →
