All this talk of the Trent and misery got me thinking anyone remember them little things called bitterling? looked like they were a cross between a silver carp and a roach and had been hit with a mallet

used to catch a few at Willington and Barrow roadside.Mind you aint fished there for 10 years probably been eaten :(

Willington used to be full of "night fighters" as well - them miniscule ruffe that you had to squeeze their heads to get your hooks back

last time i caught a ruffe was on the luffboro canal evil looking things

#15

Still plenty of bitterling (litterbins I call 'em) in the T & M. They are actually a member of the carp family, sometimes confused with deformed roach. Last time I fished Burton in a WL I had about 25 of them.
There are not so many around Stafford but still a few. They are in the Shroppie as well, quite a few around Nantwich area; I have had a couple at Little Onn as well.

petebagup · #16

Do they ever grow? Always seemed to catch small ones like blade roach

#17

Think there is a record for litterbins; it may be in metric but I think it is just a bit bigger than one ounce.

We always reckon if you are catching litterbins you tench to catch nowt else much

#18

you tench

Is that a Freudian slip Bill............are they on your mind this weekend
