River Carpin locations

[carpdawe]

I fancy a bash at some river fish and wanted to ask a few questions if anyone could help

 

Good venues or any feedback on local rivers Derbyshire,Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire?

 

Is the approach the same? I have never fished a river before

 

Bait what works best ? boiilies or barrels etc flavours etc .....

 

Best time of year?

 

Thanks in advance

Cobleyn will probably give you the same answer:

 

Rivers Soar and Trent

 

Plenty of walking and looking, along with a bit of local knowledge and help

Yup the Trent and the soar give you the best shots at fish. Both contain fish into the 40's. But you have got to find them. They are in fixed places and there are none for miles in between.

 

As they are river fish- they need to feed all year around. Look for them in oxygenated water in teh summer and slow bays in the winter.

 

You may want to start near a Marina in B________ on the soar and behind some large gravel pits near notts on the trent and maybe near some bridges a bit lower down too.
