River anker Tamworth

[markp]

Any 1 ever fished it i believe the area im being dragged to is bloehall any info would be greatfully accepted.

Fished it a few years ago (with floats tactics rather than my familiar lures) and found it to be fairly hard going. Depth averaging between 5 and 8 feet fairly slow with gudgeon and the occasional good chub.

 

For preferance, I'd fish the Tame - not a joke. It holds some good fish.

while your in tamworth try the marina on the cut at kettlebrook some nice fish in there, but having said that iv'e not fished it for 30yrs, used to be a pub called the pretty pig's with a big lake out back but can't remember where it was sorry.

Dare i say i know where kettlebrook is lol {private joke sorry} and ive been shown the pretty pigs its still there but i dont know if the lakes still there or not.

If you go on the Tame, take plenty of insect repellent. The blackflies can be bad enough to put people in hospital at this time of year.

A couple of years ago, a dozen or so people arrounf Kingsbury got so badley bitten that they needed hospital treatment and it made the local news.

 

It's a bit better in the autumn.
