well, as you might be able to guess from my username, i went to notts too mate, what are you studying?
I used to fish all over that area, if you like your canal fishing, the beeston canal is excellent, i used to live in dunkirk and fished it every week in the winter on bloodworm, and on the vening matches on hemp and squatt, solid with roach adn skimmers. some very good anglers to mix with too if they are still running the matches.
in the early autumnm, the waggler and stick fishing at clifton bridge is amazing, big doubles/low 20lb nets of big dace, roach, perch and odd chub.
in the summer, the rapids directly below the long deep glide at beeston weir around the corner are solid with big chub (some over 6lb) and they can be caught on freelined lobby, and believe it or not, they go mad for spinners, I had 7 in 40mins once early season on a mepps spinner,smallest 4lb, biggest just over 6. vicious takes.
the gravels can fish well at beeston too.
drop us a pm fella and i’ll put you on some fish hopefully, also, used to fish for matchman supplies in the winter league, and can vouch for the fact Tim is an excellent source of info.
