Wykewells not fishing well this winter,, so bad they are using Dunstans,,
not sure about West Street.

The roach and skimmers will be there in numbers very soon after this cold spell methinks pedro

Canal was chocolate coloured early in week as they were running Don water through local system.

Match there today was won wth 5lb odd.... mainly small roach n blades.....only had one netter.

It normally slows the fishing down when they do that

Where's that?

The photo is deceiving I think Joff, they are up there in the right pegs, just hard to see how many are on the photo

Peds, have they re-pegged it??
190 and 191 was always the mouth but I havent been up there for a couple of seasons now

My thoughts as well Dodge, when I heard that it was well coloured I was rubbing me hands, needed some colour badly. I had 16lb in the Al Bailey (peg 204) and that was 3 skimmers and a load of 4-6oz roach, its been a good area but at the time I thought it needed the cold spells to pack the fish in other areas.

Deffo mate 

Always amazes me how a couple of pegs on the lampost at west sreet always holds a big shoal of roach, the bend at dunstans and when in stanilands is an aquarium     

Sundays weights were a tad on the low side, as Fin pointed out they dont like that Don water run at em!.
Will be interesting to see what develops over the following matches.
