River Don info/help

[Tyke]

I plan on fishing the river Don in a couple of weeks and i am hoping someone can point me to a good day ticket stretch.

I am having a meet up with some forum/icq guys and having a days fishing on the Don as its central to us all.

What is the depth and species i can expect to catch?

Is it in a built up area or in countryside?

2or 3 years ago fished River Don at Spotborough.

Fished it twice , once above the weir and once below.Below was best. Walked about 25 pegs down and fished Wagg/ Magg down the middle and had 8lb of lovelly cond. Roach .

The weir pool is meant to be good for Barbel.

If the fishing is not very good there is a decent pub there !!!

Hi Darth,

 

Do you have any info on the Rother, around the John Carr factory area? My in-laws live very close and I'm hoping to get up there in September. Maybe we could meet up for an outing, and I'll buy the beer afterwards!!

 

Regards,

Paul
