River Nene February
‘Hemp Head’ and Leicester Sensas man, Pete Jayes, has got his lobworms in a twist this month … painful! Some big chub play with the trees on the far bank at Milton Ferry, but when there is a touch of pace and colour on the river, they will venture out from their sanctuary. Straight lead […]
Warks Avon, Twyford February
Evesham match ace, Brian Bennett, (and now River Severn bagger!) can’t get away from ‘The Theatre’ length at this time of year, as this stretch is stacked-up with quality roach, and while Brian recommends plenty of tumeric covered maggots fished under either stick float or waggler, I find myself leaning towards breadpunch and liquidized feed […]
River Severn, Ironbridge February
Maver boss Phil Briscoe tells me his stretch of the river at Stourport has been fishing really well and doesn’t expect any let up in sport.

Preston Innovations Woodland View February 1st, 2005
High Pool (35 pegs) has recently received a mass stocking of small carp, and while any bait will see your pole float disappear beneath the surface, red maggot is as good as any. However, as temperatures rise, red or strawberry flavoured cubes of meat and red sweetcorn will be the tempters for the bigger carp […]
