Fishing The River Thames, a new beginning

[@themagicoffishing]

Tough luck, Clive, but I enjoyed that. As you say, who cares! It’s being there that’s counts. Cheers

It's ok mate, The Thames is a funny old river, thanks for viewing, I'm back on the river this coming weekend, for the Roach, if there not late lol.

Thanks Gary, will sort something out for sure, I met some really nice people while fishing, so it was still a great day mate.

[@cliveeariss880]

Hello Mike, yes your so right, will return to this stretch later in the year, all the best mate, tight lines 👍

Nice one Clive 👍

[@cliveeariss880]

Thank you, it was a lovely day and I met some really nice people, the fish are the bonus, not on the day, but it's fine, and that why I like to show to good days, and the blank days, but still enjoying the river.

Hi Clive. That’s an awful lot of river! Depending on the head of barbel present I would think the probability of your bait ending up in the ‘right’ place was quite low. From reading the history of Thames fishing, and I’m talking about distant history, the barbel anglers used to pre-bait with hundreds of worms over days to attract the fish to specific areas. That’s no longer really a practical option so I suppose it comes down to having some knowledge of the ‘hot spots’, if they exist. As always, very enjoyable watching you try and great observation on the swan. It would have been very unhappy about that dog if it’s head hadn’t been underwater at the time.🦢

Hello Bob, hope all is well, yes that's a lot of water but at the same time I have been fishing thus stretch since the 1970s, it a funny old place and can be very moody, but I still enjoyed the day, I think a another river this coming this weekend ,but will have to see were are going, all the best mate and take care.

[@cliveeariss880]

Canada Geese, I should say lol

[@mikemgs52]

Tough stretch that, I was there today with pellet for barbel / carp and a maggot feeder for anything. Blanked. Bloke two swims up was here for 2 weeks, nothing but a pike a few roach

[@cliveeariss880]

Oh mate, really wow, not even a feeder Perch or Roach, that's not good news, but thanks for the info, we'll all the best for the next trip, keep me updated 👍 thanks.

[@TimTernet0]

No fish then?

[@cliveeariss880]

No Tim, there was an angler on my left and apparently here was there two weeks and only had a Pike and a few Roach, but I will go back in August, there are a lot of good fish later.
