After a 30 year lay-off and only two recent seasons under my belt I need a little advice.
Having read many posts on the forum I am still finding it difficult to decide which are the best fish to target at different times of the year. Last season was doubly difficult due to the floods followed by over zealous sluice gate adjustments which left the river well below summer levels at times.
I mainly fish the upper reaches of the Bristol Avon, it's fairy slow for trotting, varies in depth from 3' to 10' averaging at 6'. There's bream, tench, chub, roach, perch, pike, carp and barbel although I've yet to meet Mr Barbus and Mr Carpio.
So come on guys, which would you target at what time of year and what would be your prefered methods and baits?
