There is no boat traffic on the backwater. If you plan to fish this water, we recommend that you take a preliminary walk along its full length. Trust us when we say it’ll prove to be time well spent.

    A great promotional video for the club, I hope that it was successful in recruiting new members. I used to fish that part of the Thames a lot back in the 1950s when most of it was free fishing. A great roach fishing area, I caught three 2lb roach from there back then. Any about nowadays? It would have been better if you showed us someone actually fishing.

    Sad that all of these venues are polluted and have little life left in them,you can thank thames water for that,20 odd yrs ago these reaches of river were crystal clear full of weed and fish,stonger flows.no signal crayfish or otters but they had to keep medling,now look.

    • @abingdonandoxfordanglingal6764
      @abingdonandoxfordanglingal6764 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and to comment on it. The river was recovering from a period of flooding when this was filmed. The flow was fine but it does certainly also suffer from sewage being released into it upstream of this stretch at times. Sadly it’s subjected to the same problems that pretty much all rivers in the UK are subjected to. However, it does provide a home for many different fish species regardless of this and we have had reports from our members of barbel in the last year or so coming out of the stretch, brown trout are often caught by anglers using worms or maggots and in the last few days a couple of anglers have reported good catches of chub to over 5lb so all is not lost and it can indeed be a productive stretch on the right day for our members.

If you are a resident of the town you can apply for a free ticket to fish through the town or if you are not a resident but want to fish the stretch you can purchase tickets from the town council website at www.abingdon.gov.uk/town-council/town-council-services/fisheries

I see as I walk round the lake yesterday the water levels are low, obviously due to low rainfall and heat.

      It’s a spring fed lake and does drop down quite a bit during dry summers but then does also tend to fill up again in Autumn/Winter. Still fishes well through dry summers but it does affect the number of swims worth fishing as some are currently less than two feet deep. Fish still coming out around the lake though. Hope you enjoy the lake and get amongst some fish
