Thats a cracker of a fish Rik and I'd be as pleased as punch with it as you were I suppose. I never did get down there for that session on the Stour did I? More fool me looking at them chub..oooh! nice!
It can't be far away Rik, there were about 50 7+ fish caught from Throop last winter, closest I've got so far is 6.14 (from Bounds Farm) but lost a real biggy on beat three last year.
Rik, thats the trouble with Throop it can get very busy but it is such a special place.
I fished it a lot about 10 years ago but only do a couple of trips a year now but it is still the best place to try for a 7.
Quote "I need this 7 pretty quickly so I can go after my PB roach from the Avon."
So no pressure then?
My best from the Avon stands at 6.9., another 7oz doesn't seem very much to ask does it,one of last winters 6s could do it with a bit of luck I suppose.
