The guides at Rutland are out on the water so much that they sometimes amuse themselves catching coarse fish on fly. Check out this pike caught last week. The lad who caught it is coming to the Wye with us this week to catch a barbel on fly.

Fantastic. Is coarse fishing allowed on there or just fly ?

Just fly mate. Mind you, some of them are bigger than turkeys :-)

Yes mate, been going for past 15 years, my lad has the record on lower stretch, 218lb, my personal best is 175lb

Phhht, use them for bait!

Good luck to all of you venturing out tomorrow on the glorious 16th!!

I (my mate and I) have pre-baited for the last 4 nights (and again tonight) a joint swim on the Nene.

For the last 2 years, we have both had 150lb plus catches of real quality bream (largest 9lb) each (shared photo's of such with some of you via DM).

Tight lines all, and really looking forward to my 02.00 alarm!

Home by 08.00, not a touch between us. Still, no ripple and very bright by 07.00. Far from ideal for bream. Given the weather over the last couple of months, I think they are still downstream/spawning possibly. Try again every 4 days or so until the weed makes it unfishable. Anyone been out today? Any good?

Just arrived near Ross but not fished yet. A couple of lads have been out fly-fishing for barbel without success but have caught a Shad which is on my list this holiday

Beautiful place Ross, I used to work there for a while many years ago. Enjoy.

Good look with the Shad quest, very rare species.
