Where to fish?

[-ckp82-]

Has anybody fished Lower Broadheath Fishery aka "the jam factory" in Worcester or Lavender Hall Fishery in Solihull?

I'm thinking of fishing these soon, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome,

 

I have fished Lower Broadheath a few times, but never in the winter.

 

I found the fishing pretty good, but it is a commercial after all.

 

I fish a waggler rod, in very close, corn or meat on the hook over pellets thrown in by hand, just a tiny bit of float showing, bait hard on the bottom, keep the rod handle in your hand (front on a rest) because bites are very fast.

 

I found that the last couple of hours of light were easily the best, by this time the fish are on the feed after a hard day's sunbathing and all of the other anglers have gone home for their tea! Keep any wind on your back so you have a nice calm spot in front of you.

 

Had a lot of nice carp and the local bailliff guy was very helpful.

 

It has to be said, although I am a rod and reel man, I once saw a much better fisherman than me totally hammering them on a pole.

 

Good luck, but you might want to wait until the weather warms up a bit.
