ricey try the river stort some time.

[ricey]

Is that the one that runs down into the River Lea?

Down past Bishop's Stortford and Harlow?

 

Where abouts do you go on the Stort? Any Barble?

[Peter M]

I go from Harlow mill lock to Parden lock through harlow, all on a day ticket. No Barbel but huge chub and perch and some carp althugh they are more in the sawbridgeworth section above harlow mill lock. to be honest it is a lot like the chelmer . It has a very bad signal cray fish infestation as well as a mink problem. but i like it as it is local and fishes well summer and winter. Boat traffic in the summer can be a prob.

 

Mind you If i lived near the suffolk stour like you i would be fishing there all the time.

[ricey]

sounds great!

thanks for the info Peter

I used to fish a free section of the river Blackwater at Kelvedon over 20 years ago there used to be some big chub in a section just about a big millpond, I had one a shade under 5lb one day and the dace used to be huge, might be worth a look if any of you are local maybe it still holds some good fish??????

[ricey]

thats very close to me. which mill pond was it?

[nick_gilbert]

sorry a typo it was a section of river just above a mill pond there was side road running off of the main road and the river flowed next to it, things may have changed as I haven't been to kelvdon for years!!!

 

I have just looked on multimap the road you want is Swan Street
