yes it does seem to be a popular place with folk fighting for the corner pegs but I think some new strategies need to be tried to try to get them feeding again. I've tried alsorts from method feeding to hair rigs & bolt rigs, fishid at various depths but can never seemto get past the bream!!
Didn't go up to Rawcliffe, I went Piking behind the RSPCA which always seems to do better when the rivers up a bit. I missed my only run whilst I had my flask in one hand & cup in the other!!! I lost a cracker a couple of months back when we had the floods, fished mackerel off the top of the iron horse & it took straight away, pulled me 25 30 yards downstream before breaking my 11lb line, so powerful I couldn't get any line on the reel!! Have been chasing it ever since but if you fish down there when the river down you lose a fortune in lost tracers, could do with a good dredge, I caught a stereo type juke box last year!! My best so far is a 6.5lb jack off a devils own spinner. One day I'll get the biggie!!
