Hi ive got a match at this place in july, never fished it before and Ive only fished a river a few times in the last twenty years, any tips would be great please

Fast, shallow and weedy with a few deeper pegs. I fished that stretch 4 times last year. I found stick float the best. It took some working out with all the weed. Find a clear run through and stay on that line. Waggler, the same. Small fish mainly with the odd bigger fish. Bronze maggot was the best for me. If you get a deeper peg you could fish a feeder. I did, but found the fish backed off after a while, maybe because i had to use a lot of lead to hold bottom.

In the match we fished. 14lbs won (Two bream) 7lbs was second (One Bream) and I was third with 4lbs 11oz of small stuff.

One word of warning. Watch out for these.

They ruined the end of our match. We packed up early because of them.

Are you on the Mutual bit ?? They have a few pegs downstream of the car park, then another club has the rest to the bridge.
