Beauty & the Beast
23/01/2017 12:22
With the lakes firmly frozen my first fishing trip of 2017 was to be the River Wey at Eashing targetting the Grayling, the Beauty of the river. I was hoping for a clear frosty day but arrived on an gloomy overcast day. My method was to be light and mobile with just a float rod, centerpin and a pint...

What lies beneath

2015 is now a memory and we are firmly into 2016. Over the past few weeks I have been out a number of times, mainly pike fishing with the odd trip to the river searching for chub. In all cases I had blanked, the reason I put it down to was a heavy frost the day before. The venues I visited are...
2015 Review

So here I sit looking back on what has been a fantastic season of fishing for me with no less that seven PBs. If I was to choose a particular highlight it would be my trip to Tanyard Fisheries, something I had planned to do for a couple of years and when circumstances allowed me to go Tanyard...
Pike Season

Hiya!
It has been a while since my last blog and with the Pike season upon us I felt it was high time to tell you about another PB that was broken, in fact it was broken twice in 2 hours! Having been to Stoke Place last week for a spot of spinning for Perch I ended up catch a Pike of 8lb 13oz and...
Tanyard Fisheries

When I first started the Rod Race League last year it was with the idea that I (and like minded people) would fish for hard to find species other than those found in their local waters, and few fish are harder to find than the Pumpkinseed Fish. After not finding many venues on the internet I...
River Colne, Denham Meadow

Every Year I try to plan a visit to somewhere special, whether it be Anglers Paradise, Tanyard Fisheries or in this case thr River Colne in Denham, Buckinghamshire. To me it is special as it it where I caught my first every chub, at 5lb 2oz no less, as well as my PB chub and as far as I'm aware a...
Hitchum Square Pond

Traditionally this venue has been my first venture of the season but a change of tactics and other outside factors meant that I wasn't to fish this small pond until later in the year. To be honest the only reason why I pay this pond a visit is because it is stocked with Wild Carp as well as small...
Colnbrook Challenge

How have you all been since I last spoke? Sorry it's been so long but I have not long finished my year in college, results due in August! Now that I have got some free time I have finally been back lakeside and thinking about what I can do new for this season. For the last couple of years I have...
A New Year and a new PB!

So Rod Race League 2014 has finished and made way for Rod Race League 2015. Looking back at my first year I have to be pleased with myself in putting together this website, especially as I consider myself to be a non computer person. Of course I would have liked a few more people to have joined in...
