Match Fishing on the River Don at Sprotborough Sept 2020

This weeks episode see me match fishing with the Yorkshire Bandit Angling Club on the Rotherham and District United Anglers Federation water on River Don at Sprotborough. The River Don is deep and can be quite pacey but with very low levels and bright sunshine forecast it looked like we were in for another tough match.
Having never fished this particular section of the River Don before, I took a variety of rods to tackle the deep water swims and planned to feeder fish for bites and also try fishing the bolo rod or slider waggler.
Pegs 1 & 2 just above the canalised section are the hot pegs here. Would I get a draw this time? Watch on to find out.

Excellent john, hard bloody work , at least it wasnt chucking it down. After ODing on your videos , you have inspired me after 25 years or so to get fishing again . You are premier league , im probably 10 tiers below, but its great just getting out there . There is just one thing ... the reeling in soundtrack , a bit of motorhead wouldnt go amiss . Keep up the great work.

Well done John, you can only get whats there out. Hoping my Riverfest qualifier on Sunday fishes a bit easier than that!

I stood behind a Guy pleasure fishing around peg 10 one day last Summer. He was bagging up on red maggot catching hand sized skimmers trotting just off the rod end with a 17' rod and a big aluminium stemmed Bolo float. He was feeding little balls of groundbait every cast and had a pole set up at about 7 mtrs to feed maggots on the trotting line through a bait dropper with a modified stem so it was discharging the maggots about 30" off the bottom. He'd obviously fished there before.

[@pnico3775]

Another hard day John but you still won the section keep the faith son we all need a bit of luck yours will change sooner rather than later I hope stay safe.

[@gloriajakeman1763]

well done for the section john, i enjoy your informative vids.

[@martincallaghan8817]

You had to put a shift in there buddy ' tough going ' hope the peg god's are with you for the next one . 👍

Don’t let it get ya down, it’s fishing and not catching, when you get to your standard, you should be thinking, if your struggling then so are the others apart from (may be) them on noted pegs. It came from one of our top anglers on the midlands circuit.👍 keep putting your hand in the bag and sooner than later a good peg will stick in ya mitts and you will do what’s needed.👍👍ATVB

Great vid John. Unlucky on the day mate. Pegs 1&2 were the flyers on the day. My Bream came at 2:30pm and tbh I expected at least another. For me the mag feeder worked well. Can’t believe the weight the day after in peg 1, I prob primed it for him lol .Incidentally the loud cracks which can be heard in your vid were from the local quarry according to a passer by.

[@daysaversVideos]

Great video! Do you know if there is anywhere on Don you can fly fish?

[@mat8009]

Know if there's any carp in this river?
