Hi I have just moved to a village just outside Clifton Hampden in Oxfordshire. I have been on the Thames here about 10 times since the glorious 16th but to say I'm frustrated is an understatement. I am used to the narrower sections closer to Lechlade and would have definitely had something nice out of the upper stretches but I'm at a loss on how to fish these wider shallower sections. I'm used to fishing just off a crease, undercut or an eddy but there's none of this. So far the best fish I have had is around a 12 ounce chub. I started off on the float and maggot and had a good day catching plenty of fish but all around a couple of ounces. The next time I went on the feeder and alternated between corn and maggot and the size of the fish went up slightly. Since then I have triad many methods and each time I cast out I think 'this is the one' but alas no.
I am just wondering if some one can assure me there is bigger stuff worth going for around this area?
There seams to be plenty of cray fish and this normally means good chub etc
Cheers
Sid
