Diddy...I've never seen a bream weighed in on a winter match on the Tame valley.

Martin Howcroft had a couple of bream and sum skimmers in the teams of 3 a couple of years ago for around 12lb off the tame valley

[lloydy]

I had 1 off there a couple of years ago about 11/2 lb and 1 came off the same peg match before

[diddy]

very intresting

[Dodge]

About 50 yards away on "another " canal Lewis breeze famously lost around 6 bream ::) showing he is a mere mortal sometimes That was on the Fred Lathom match aswell

Diddy, it's very long and straight with just a few bridges and reeds as features. The public take their dogs for a walk sh!t on both sides along much of it. You normally want to be within 10 pegs of the access bridge but it can throw up some surprises, especially if theres some rain gone in. There's a very long featureless straight to the right which eventually joins the Walsall Canal. It's not been that kind to me but I'm pretty good at catching wasps on there now! I had a carp swim past me a few times on one match. I seem to remember proposing a new runway last year but it's been completely rested since then:

[diddy]

yipee can't wait.....especially with that easterly wind this weekend. yummy
