Okay. Here goes lol.
To the left. Peg 1 where the canal comes in, and peg 2 next to it, both fliers. This is where the bream live. Peg 3 not bad. Then to the right you got the reed beds, again good pegs (around the 30s I think) and then the moored boats.
Most pegs your mainline will be around 10-11 metres into up to 10 foot of water (on the reed beds you can fish closer in). Suggest a 2 gram float unless we've had a lot of rain, in which case you might even need a 2-4gram lolly to hold steady. For hemp on the same line you might get away with a gram or less. You may need to bulk the shot to get the rig through the bleak which can be a nightmare if the waters got some colour in it. You should catch on the hemp and cster in the last couple of hours, and the winning weight could well come this way. Ball it at the start, with 6-8 jaffas. I'd go for something fairly dark and fine, maybe noire, match blend and terre de somme in equal parts. Dont add too many freebies. Feed caster and hemp over the top from the start.
I'd have a choppy line at 6 or 7 metres, bait dropper in some minced worm and caster and go straight over it, as there are some decent perch along the stretch.
If you're on pegs 1-3 think about a feeder (30 - 40 metres wide) for the bream. This can be hit or miss to be honest. I'd think about setting up a feeder on most pegs but wouldn't fish it unless I was struggling to be honest.
If you're on the boats set up a waggler and flirt big maggots over it, as the chub might come out to play. There are gaps in the boats you can cast into then draw back to get decent presentation.
10-12lb will be a good weight at the moment.
And for bang up to date form ring Roddy (Hubbard) at Bennetts in Mountsorrel.
Hope this helps.
