Simple Match Fishing Forum

All, my upcoming England trial is on Maver Larford, and requires us to fish 75% Wag & Slider and 25% pole. As i havent fished the slider for a few months, and want to get in some practice prior to my trial, i was wondering if anyone could suggest anywhere local (Derby)??
Cheers!

HI GO TO THE DONO LAKE AT HEMMINTON LOADS ROACH AND SKIMMERS AND NICE DEPTH , I FISHED SLIDER THERE LAST YEAR IN SILVER FISH OPENS, ITS JUST SPOT ON FOR WOT YOU WONT LOADS OF BITES ,HAVE FUN

Ahhh top idea!! I know the lake well! i need a peg where i can catapult grounbait at it, the bottom far corner should give me some distance?

sam young harry is going ! there is a place near loughborough called the brickyard pits its really deep what helped me understand the method more was the time taken for the float to settle whether its 15ft or 25ft to get it to fall right is one of the most important parts if you get it wrong its tangle after tangle [not that ive done much only in holland odd times ]
hemmington sound good though   

Ok mate, and yes i know, its imperitive to use a stiff line such as 5lb maxima to minimise tangles, we fished it on our trial last year on the loughborough canal. Bur bank at larford on the speci lake is only going to be around 12-15ft deep where we are fishing the method, so hemmington seems ideal for a bit of practice. The only thing is, im going straight from Whiteacres with Matt Godfrey on the friday night before the trial, so it doesnt leave much time to get a few hours practice in! Hopefully see Harry down there!

Gloucester canal* NOT loughborough haha

Sam hemmo is defo a top venue choice! Remember to buy yourself some gb catapults (the green drennan ones are the best) and cut the elastic back at various lengths to achieve different ranges to get your bait to when stretched out fully. Ring me if you need any help pal.

Gents, Trials were cancelled due to weather, so i shall be practicing this weekend at hemmoington (donno lake) if anyone fancies a trip out, providing mark doesnt have a open on that lake.
