hi could anyone who has any knowledge of this river help me out,i have been told that there is chub and pike in this river,i have been down and had a look and seen some chub but i dont know the best places to fish it or if its a private river.

Thanks rob if you are at the dam end you have the boat house on your right and then you have peg 89 and then the double peg on the right of the boat house which is 87/88 which is the one we fished from , my mate fished slightly to the right and about 40 yards out or so in front of the boat house ,i fished about the same out again but in front of the pegs we were on and i had 1 rod out to the right about 40 yards in the small basin . I am going again on wednesday for another couple of days.

the weather was quite rough there was a strong wind , but there were a group on the pegs just outside the site office and they had a 27 and a 29lb out , all myself and my mate had was bream. I am fairly new to the carp fishing scene as i come mainly from coarse fishing , my friend has been carping for a few years and he normally does very well, the biggest carp i had was 19 1/2 lb but that was a couple of years ago when i dabbled. And as for the boilies i tried fake corn as well , but still only got bream, any advice would be gratefully accepted.

Hi all can anyone give me some advice on what bait (boilies) to use on pendle view and what pegs should i try to get on , i have just come back from 48 hrs there and all i caught was bream i was using pinnapple , halibut , strawberry , whiskey , boilies all 15 mil . but had nothing i was fishing on pegs 87/88 near the boat house. I am intending to go back there in about a week or so so if anyone can give me some tips i would be greatful.

Hi could anyone give me some advice on fishing the reddish vale ponds, as i have not fished them for about 18 years. I am about to go fishing back there as i live abot 20 mins away, in brinnington, i went down there for a wander around a few weeks ago and its changed from what i remember. I also do alot of carp fishing now and i beleive there is some big carp in there but thats hear say ,if anyone could give me some advice on baits and where to fish i would be grateful. I know from the last time i fished there back in the late 80"s that there were big bream and big roach but that was a long time ago . many thanks.
