hi all got a match a week today on the derwent at borowash not fished many rivers before so any advice welcome

on my match sheet it says pegs 1 - 25 hope this helps

The flying scotsman

Is it the pride section or Earl of Harrington?

micked

also are you on the stretch they call chubb alley or the cutting

pongo

i think its the earl of harrington stretch and just above the stretch they call chub alley hope this helps

YAMO

wagg and magg for chub.

take hemp too for roach. if u r in the deeps dont ignore a big lobby for the huge stripeys that inhabit that area.

micked

wag and mag far side chubb and roach if goings hard try fishing worm on the bomb just keep exploring your swim

pongo

i have never fished the wag on a river is it like trotting only further out?? i
know this is probably a silly question and feed little and often??

micked

just remember to cast slightly down stream and feather the float down to keep the line nice and striaght don't worry to much about sinking the line. then just let it free line off your spool do n't try to hold back its a busy method. keep feeding a dozen mags every run down. remeber its a natural stretch so do n't fish to heavy chubb run to around 2 to 3 lbs some up to 4.

in the faster swims and under over hanging willows
some big buggers in there hemp and meat and maggots
