Hi all, I live bottom end of DERBY near A50 jnc3. I would love to try my hand at river or canal fishing after spending most of the year fishing Weston Moat or Coopers Arms lake. Does any one know of a free stretch of water or canal running from M1 jnc 24/25 East to A38 Burton Area? Most of these waters are owned by clubs and renewal for membership doesn't start until March time. I am going to join a club in March, but until then, I would like to get to know the rivers and maybe fish a little.
Does anyone know any good websites that give hints and tips on river fishing? Most sites I have searched are to do with Fly fishing, Salmon and Trout fishing etc.
I have got a few tips from Matt Hayes on www.homeandleisure.co.uk-fishing
and some Graham Marsden.
Looking for tips like what to look for, do I fish in on the bank or far side, in the slow part or fast running etc etc. Baits to use etc etc.
Did see Matt Hayes use luncheon flavoured with Paprika and Cayenne Pepper and some other type of liquid.
Sorry its long winded but hope someone can help.......
