I would like to share that I am using a new way of booking.

I’ve put together a 4 hour chub & barbel coaching package for anyone who wants to get more out of the river, whether you’re brand new or already confident and just want to sharpen a few tactics.

We’ll have a quick chat beforehand to tailor the session to you, and we can cover trotting, link ledgering cheesepaste, pellet/boilie fishing, watercraft… whatever you want to focus on.

Sessions can be extended too if you want more time on the bank.
I’ve set it all up properly through Swimbooker, https://anglingtrust.net/fishing-events/ so you can book easily.

If you have any questions, just drop me a message or email: [email protected]

Well that's been toasty, just got home from the championships at Embryo Baston Shallow.
Everyone caught, but I caught a few more than everyone else to win the Corps Champs on my final event.
Two over bait and two on small mesh bags cast towards the islands, although I did loose four due to poor hook holds as they were not feeding confidently in the sweltering heat.
