Think it might have been Red Bridge not Red house but its good anyway.Coming from the Rotherham Doncaster areas take the A1 and then come off onto old A1 road past A1 pits into Newark taking the left hand turn at roundabout before you go over Newark Dyke. There is a supermarket on your left hand side but turn right and then left passing British waterways wildlife offices down to marina and park above marina gates. take path to dyke and fish the two swims above marina harbour especially the one with the small sandbay. Its a nice glide brilliant for the stickfloat and at 5ft deep full of fish.
When i fished last year i paid three visits and fished mornings only due to boat traffic and averaged mid twenties. i was doing an article for the Angling Star and have not been back due to the amount of yobs in the area. Gareth if i had not been doing the article i might have only fished it once and bearing in mind each day was on a Sunday morning hence yobs and boat traffic.
I used hemp and casters and tares and caught mainly good quality roach plus a few good chub. Its a bit early for tares and its better to use them late july and august. If you use tares dont start with them and just keep introducing them in two and threes as you feed your hemp and caster. Tares are filling and you can knock your swim dead with two many. Once you have got the fish onto them then its ok to feed with hemp every trot but remember go easy with the tares another area is to fish down at Nether Lock weir and you will have to drive over Dyke turn left as though you are heading for Lincoln and turn left into the old works which leads down to an old scrapyard. Park up and go over the bridge that crosses the dyke turn right and head down to weir. good luck
