Hi Paul
How was Sarah fishing the Seven, on the tip or trotting?

[paul]

Hi guy's she was fishing at Sheinton just below Cressage.She was on the feeder with halibut pellet and pellet and halibut ground bait in a 2oz cage feeder fished two rod lengths out and about 10yards down stream

Is Sheinton Leighton Angling Society water?

I've fished just upstream of Cressage many times but the banks are treacherous.

No its a PAAS strech (Prince Albert Angling Society) but i don't know who owns the other bank

[Steve1]

Annual February half term trip managed a 7 hour stint up and down the upper Severn near Welshpool. feeder, trotting and spinning. River looked ok despite carrying a couple of extra feet of water. blankety blank except for a small brown that savaged a size 4 mepps copper aglia.(trout returned) Lovely to see the hedgerows full of snow drops and the lapwings circling in a wintry sky .Oh well . try a local fishery tomorrow just to see the float dip (hopefully)

Pity the fishing wasn't good but I'll bet it was still rewarding.
I love fishing remote, quiet stretches of river. Commercial pools don't do much for me.
Just a pity the Severn is 50 miles away!
