Hi guys, noticed your chat about Enborne. We had a match up there a few weeks back and it fished really well. 21lb won off peg 28, big perch and 2 bream in the 4-5lb range. I came 2nd off peg 16 with 13lb off perch, fishing tight across to the reeds. Had 1 close to 3lb and 3 others over 2lb. Best net of perch I’ve had on the canal. 12lb was 3rd off peg 5.

Great to see a tench in the canal, that’s the first one I’ve seen in truth. There’s been some good perch caught at Enborne up on the stick ups and a 4lb bream made an appearance on the help the heroes match. Well worth a trip. Pegs 28, 19, 14 and 5 all worth a try.

Hi Chris, not barbel info but I did want to let you know I had one of the big crucians out of willows at the weekend. That’s my third now in 2 seasons and this one went 3lb 1oz, was in great condition. Caught it from peg 31 on dendrobena ?

Hi Chris, I too have joined RTAA this year. I fished the midweek matches on the backstretch at Colthrop and the flowing piece of canal. Looks brilliant but didn’t fish well in truth. Of interest though, a couple of big chub 4-5lb were caught and one angler claimed to have lost 3 barbel. I returned the following evening to fish the same peg on meat and never had a bite. I believe there have been reports of barbel there this season. A few grayling also turned up ?

Hi, I think the waters NAA released were Colthrop and the Arrowhead in Thatcham
