Name the venue............

Is it the shallow end of Wedgwood Lake?

looks like bils average peg

Is it the River Sow around Shugborough Hall, before it runs into the Trent

Old River Nene ?

Some good calls guys - but nope, non of those

Looks like it's clue time TK !!!!! North, south, east or west ? It really looks like the Avon but a clue would help !!!

pershore ?

Is it Stratford above the recreation ground ???

River Dove ?

Nope guys...........but Dodge is getting a touch closer

Thought You'd have got it straight away CWH - you got this venue on a different 'old' picture I posted several months ago.............

Here's another picture, taken from the same bridge, looking in the opposite direction 'upstream'

That's a dead giveaway now


So might as well post the other couple of snaps I took

That wall is a perfect pole roost

Is it the Anker at Tamworth

Brings back memories TK had my first carp from the anker 1973 two in fact 8oz each.Also done my first ton all silvers,there is 3-4 pegs the other side ladybridge (1st pic) roach used to shoal up certain time of the year often wonder if they are still there.River looked good but don't they always in closed season.

looks like EVESHAM town bridge in a couple of years when no crappity smack will be river fishing anymore

Some good memories for me too cjsid - but not quite as good.........never got near that ton of silvers, although I did weigh in 29lb12oz of all roach from the peg below the bomb hole

Shame all those rhodies have gone from the peg above the bridge

Talking of carp, we fished a match and I was end but one upstream by the arches.

I was struggling - it was shallow and ripping through. I'd had some silvers and lost a barbel on the pole when a guy came up and asked if he could drop in the last peg above. Yep, no probs. Low and behold he hooked and landed a double figure carp - as black as the ace of spades it was

TK,
The only reason I got it before was because of the Castle ! Not fished there for many, many years. Have tried in the past, to get in an odd winter match run by Jeff Eardley, but failed and I don't even know if he still run,s them !
