Hi all
just bought a house in Old Woking, Surrey with the R.Wey at the end of my garden (realisation of a little lifes dream) so looking forward to getting [a lot] more fishing in in the near future.
Been angling on and off for some 25 years and though I mainly fish for pike (29lb my best) I have had some success with chub to 5lb, though I never caught a barbel believe it or not and I intend to rectify that pdq.... as soon as the river calms down.
Anyway, I'll be venturing out on my boat as soon as I get bored of fishing from the garden ;-) so any hints very much appreciated as I don't know the area at all. I previously lived in Richmond and fished the tidal Thames, which is a bit different as you can imagine.
Really keen to know what I can expect out of the Wey... esp. pike-wise.... I feel the barbel will come soon enough. I also hear there's a few carp lurking in there, and after I lost my river carp virginity on the Thames I quite like it!
TTFN
