Morning.
Was wondering If I could delve into the vast depths of knowledge this forums' anglers obviously have....... Was looking forward to a days fishing with 9 mates a week on Friday, (2 birthdays to celebrate!) at a day ticket venue on the River Kennet. Main requirement being GRAYLING as a few of us have never caught the species before. One of the gang has since been down there for a trial day, (Barton Court) and was very disapointed with the deterioation of the fishing in this area  , I don't want to go into the 'ins and outs' of this venue as I have no knowledge of it myself, so I cant comment. But I do respect his opinion  . We don't want to travel all the way down there for a disapointing day, and have to string him up at the end of it!! I appreciate fish can be fickle, but It does sound from his description that it has changed for the worse..? what I do want to know is an alternative.....if there is one??It needs to be a maximum of 2-2.5 hours from Cambridge, with a good chance of a few grayling, day ticket fishing with back up species such as roach, perch, and chub.... I appreciate this may be a tall order, given the travelling constraints but....... Ta in advance for any suggestions, Gordon. |

How about the river Wharfe at Collingham? You are guaranteed to get grayling if the conditions are suitable and as an ex-southerner myself I'll also guarantee you'll love the surroundings. Back-up fish will be mainly chub at this time of year although dace and roach are present.
Cheers Dave |

Er thanks for that Mr Ferret.
Cheers for the response guys, I think we're gonna have to get back to the drawing board, it seems that any quality grayling fishing is a bit of a treck, so an overnight stay seems appropriate....... Cheers G |

Ferret
Barton Court is on the Itchen, made famous by G.E.M Skues. Now has new owners who, I'm told, practice somewhat different management to most angling clubs / river owners. -------------------- Andrew Boyd

Barton Court is on the Kennet at Kintbury. We fished there last year on a fish in from this site. Seph -------------------- Paul
