On the river at last


Recommended Posts

Took a day off yesterday and headed to the River Tone in Taunton..took SeanC and his mate Jamie (who has only fished a river once or twice)... so it was a quest to find some chub on the stick or waggler..

Spent the morning in the town stretch, where the river runs slow but and a waggler to the far bank can produce good hauls of chub..it fished well enough, even though it was roasting hot by 8am!, we all had a decent netful with chub up to 3lb a few roach and a couple of nice perch...

By 1pm the heat was too much so we headed to the fast stretch for a walk...again we had a few chub, nothing massive but nice fishing on the stick.... Jamie enjoyed his day on the river, I think hes seen the light!! Lol

Don’t ye ever just free line a bit a luncheon meat or summat for the chub? I’m hooked catching them like that tbh?

You catch more on this river on maggot or casters, theres not any really big fish in there, 5lb would be a giant...most are 1lb -3lb...

You can really get them going on the waggler or stick float if you feed it right...also some very decent grayling in there, catch more grayling from September onwards...

Luncheon meat etc would work but youd just wait longer to catch the same size fish...
