Hi,, sat pondering other day,,about this river we used to do well a few years back aint been for a while ,,used to be a tackle shop in Boston Spa on main road where you would get day tickets . Used to be able to drive down little lane to the pegs too,,but the owner of the house there was a bit of a tit,,well no actually he was a first class @@@@er he has been known to puncture your tyres and deliberately mess pegs up ,,so we went off this place a bit .Also fished kyme island that was nice spot,,again cars were getting robbed there so that put an end to that too!!
Anyways what is the fishing like there now ,,are the barbel still plentiful or has things changed ,,I did hear on grapevine it had suffered some form of pollution ,, also a peaty colour in river?? ,,,I got my first double from this river also caught my first barbel by accident here ,,a friend who was with me one session was fishing for barbel big meat etc,,only goes and lands a massive bream well over double ,,I would of guessed about 14lb we didnt have any scales with us that day,,also had decent chub to over 6lbs,,as I say this was quite a few years ago. Anyone ?
Cheers Rick .
