You would be a gift from heaven for giving someone contacts from around the Cantley area looking for shooting ,or the right people to ask , also a few words like THANK YOU from the enquirer won't come amiss .

NatureBoy Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Cracking fishing on that stretch of the river to. Proper anglers river, some say one of the best/fairest in the country. One that you have to work at to get good results. Sell out open matches still pull 60 anglers prove that. With different methods, approaches and knowledge and ability to read the tides/flow needed to frame in every match. Big bags of roach to 2lb plus and good bream if you get it rite. If you think bream don't scrap try getting one of 8lb + out of there on a big tide when there's a lot of boat traffic about. Lot fewer eels in the river now, like everywhere else. Used to be a real pain. Bird life was often a distraction. Loved the place so much i would stay on and carry on fishing after some 5hr matches. Sometimes just to enjoy the surroundings, try different methods or try to get to grips with the bream on a different tide. Memorable sun sets, sights and noises over the marsh as evening come on. Special place! I was that keen i often used to sleep in my truck if there was another match on the river the next day. Good times!
