How many rivers do you fish a year?

watatoad · Sep 13, 2011

The recent thread which was originally on trotting rods http://www.fishingmagic.com/forums/general-fishing/239410-trotting-rod-3.html but as usual slipped and slid around.

Got me thinking and checking now I am a member of a lot of clubs because it is the only way I can get to fish more water, although its never enough, I also get around the country a fair bit visiting friends which gets me the opportunity to fish a lot of other rivers and lakes.

However just how many rivers do you all manage to get to fish a year?

One?

Two?

More?

My local Hampshire Avon, Dorset Stour, Test, Itchen and (if I can get on it then)the Wylie as well.

Oh, I also fished the Wye and the Severn too this year

Hello Toady
This year so far:
The Colne, Kennet, Loddon, Frayes, Mole and Ember. Will be on the Thames later in the year and also, hopefully, the Itchen at least once.

Only the Severn & Arrow so far, I'm hoping to tempt SWMBO away from commercials but then I have to teach her to trot a float (easy if I was any good myself

). Still she can always use a feeder

I fish none ..... but i am hoping to change that when the time comes.

At four miles to the quid, only the Lea. Might manage the Gade (is it still there?) or the Tidal Thames later on.

I stick to the Swale unless I go for my occasional Trent foray. Fuel is far too expensive to be galavanting further than is really necessary.

I'm running at a little less Alan; 0.35p to the mile; so thats about 3 miles to a quid . . . . .

I blame the Oil Companies of course . . . . . . . . . .

I only fish the Cam as I don't travel or fish still waters. in the past I've fished the rivers of Suffolk (Gipping,Stour,Lark etc).
I really should try the Great Ouse as its not that far.

Rickrod · Sep 13, 2011

The Wharfe, Swale, Severn, and soon the Bristol avon

Sean Meeghan · Sep 13, 2011

Swale, Wharfe, Nidd, Aire, Calder, Don, Trent, Ouse, Gt Ouse, Warks Avon. Possibly the Kennet, Dorset Stour and Hamps. Avon early next year.

Maybe I should just concentrate on one?

I guess I'm lucky as there are three rivers within 15 minutes from where I live. I'm twice as lucky as all the rivers are very different and the dominant species are different. I do tend to fish two in the main and dabble on the third

Mart Smith · Sep 13, 2011

Not enough!!
Living in East London, we're slightly devoid of good rivers. I fish the Roding in the winter (too much weed in summer). I loved fishing the Stour and Avon before I was married.... One day.....

red creel · Sep 13, 2011

Up until October its the Kennet, Loddon and Thames but once the cold weather sets in the Lambourn, Itchen, Test and Hants Avon are on my to do list as well.

If you can afford to spread yourself thin over a number of rivers and a good distance, why not? I suspect that I might be more than tempted if circumstances were different.

Sean Meeghan · Sep 13, 2011

With the exception of the Trent all the first 8 are within 50 miles so it's not as bad as it looks! I tend to switch rivers to find the best conditions, a difficult task this season!
