No more circus swims for me
I would expect it to be far less crowded than what I have heard of their Ladypit stretch.
The biggest problem you may have at the weekend are the waterskiers, they use the full extent of the river!!!
I have no idea of the tide times,but generally as the tide turns and runs off, the fish feed better.
i am thinking of joining spac next season i think night fishing is allowed on their tidal stretch as there is a photograph on the website showing a barbel from there the photograph was taken in the dark, there are also photographs of the river with the tide in and the tide out looks as though the river rises a lot when the tide is in so an eye will have to be kept on tackle to avoid it being swamped, there is a link on their website for checking the tide times,
by the way it doesnt surprise me you have had no replies from bfw!!!
I joined the spac this year for the stretches of the trent but there is no night fishing on any of their waters
Not tried the clifton stretch or torksey as yet but love the nabs island stretch as its so quiet
