I'm a mad keen River angler and always will be, From time to time I will fish on Canals and lakes but my first love is Rivers..
I have fished and do fish many famous stretches every year from the Dorset stour,Avon,Seven etc.. but I have a small part of River 3 mins walk from my house that I have now had 5 of my personal bests from..
Carp 18lb,Perch 3lb.9oz,dace 13oz,Barbel 10lb 5oz(last week on freelined bread) and then there was yesterdays session..
For the last couple of years I have found a small pocket of large Chub, And upto yesterday have had 3 fish just over 6lb..
I had a couple of hours free so went armed with a few pints of maggot and my trotting rod to try a few swims further down river, Little did I know that by the end of those couple of hours I would be looking at a colossal Chub weighing in at 7lb 2oz...
Not only making my day,month,year but my angling life
So the moral of the story is yes we do have beautiful and famous rivers to fish all over the country but sometimes dont forget the ones on your door step..
Cheers,Chris..
