It’s that man Brian Bennett again as he seems to be winning loads of dosh at Stourport while poor Dave Harrell is drawing crap … so he tells me! This permanently pegged stretch, controlled by Lyttleton AA, is solid with roach at the present and fishing very well indeed with weights over 20lb winning matches. […]

Evesham match ace, Brian Bennett, (although Dave Harrell fiercely disputes that title!), tells me that the town stretch is fishing it’s wotsits off, with chub to 3lb, plus loads of chublets, showing themselves to be very greedy both below the bridge and permanent pegs 1 to 10 downstream of the famous ‘boards’. Wag ‘n’ mag […]

Richard at Shelton’s of Peterborough (tel: 01733 565287) loves his lures in winter, especially Rapala and Ondex, so take the hint and spend some time casting and retrieving on the Nene this winter. But where and for what? Pike, perch and chub downstream of Milton Ferry Bridge, known as ‘The Jungle’, because you are guaranteed […]

Three miles out of Stourport on the B4196 off the A452 and Maver boss Phil Briscoe relishes a winter challenge on his two lakes that are teeming with quality fish. Some challenge … they throw themselves at the hookbait! The Match Lake (85 pegs) is a real softie when it comes to winter baits, so […]

head for Front Deans (33 pegs) and Back Deans (31), where a maggot feeder cast out into the deeper water in the middle is the prime suspect. January is all about getting bites and then building on your foundations, and whilst red maggots (dead ones seem to be the best hookers) are to be loaded […]

Adam leading with 2 section wins then went on […]

Mal Storey, from his Kidderminster tackle shop (tel: 01562 745221), sends us to Trimpley in search of barbel from ‘babies’ to doubles and good ‘rubber-dubs’, where you’ll find plenty of mid-Severn features in the form of fords, islands and bubbling runs. Feeder with caster and hemp the norm, but put a pinch of pellets in […]

Blake Hall Lake (40 pegs) reigns supreme if you’ve got pellets in your carryall, with 3mm & 6mm Blake Hall own brand for feed, but you can put whatever type on the hook you prefer. Two pints, which equals 2 bags and two quid, sold on site, will do any angler well for a day’s […]

Brian at Mal Storey’s tackle shop in Kidderminster (tel: 01562 745221) sends us to Arley and Ribbesford (end of the KDAA stretch) for roach and chub fishing along with the odd interloper in the form of barbel … what else to expect on the Severn? Look for the shallower faster water, with white maggot feed […]
