dobbs weir???

[boilies]

can anybody give me some info on dobbs weir (river lea navigation)

[Andy Thatcher]

Spent many an hour at Dobbs Weir.

 

Caught my first barbel and chub from there but that was many years ago and the nature of it has changed due to a second weir being installed some 20 years ago.

 

So here are the details that I now of.

 

Day ticket with no night fishing.

 

There is a good head of tench, bream and chub with plenty of hand sized roach. Eels are a possiblity and the odd good carp up to 25lb.

 

If you are interested in night fishing Fieldes Weir just around the corner is the place to go with a similar species profile but more bream and a batch of barbel introduced 8 years ago.

 

Cheers

Andy

Where abouts is the river lea?

[ayjay]

It's a bloody long way from Lincolnshire

[Diamond Geezer]

it's a good venue but very heavily fished

the lea is a good all round river with lots of different species, big perch and chub as well

there's no answer to these venues which get hammered

i guess it's only natural

Dobbs Weir is a good all round water, but it does hold some very good Pike.

Last season a couple of 30lb pike were caught,but dont know if they are still in there.
