Hello David. What an amazing session indeed! So many lovely barbel. I have just joined Rowley & District but have yet to set eyes on the stretch. I do however intend to fish it next summer. I’ve read the advice you supplied to another subscriber about your favourite pegs, very useful indeed thanks! I’ll maybe see you on the bank next year! A really enjoyable video.
Hi David Enjoy your videos I'm a new member at coalport, what pegs do you find the best for barbel on the stretch? I've only fished the 90s and 40s so far. Any help would be appreciated .. do you always fish the float? Thanks . Ian
In the winter anywhere from 85 to 100 (Feeder tactics) The 40's are good in the summer for the feeder or the float tactics conditions permitting. Pegs I like to fish on float or light lead tactics are 18A, 22, 22A, 24, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 53, 55, 72, 73, 74, 75, 78, 79, 80. There are other pegs I have not fished could produce well. Keep an eye on the match results. I preferer the float but it depends on river and weather conditions. The barbel can turn up anywhere, its a matter of finding them.
@@MrDavidhgreatbatch thanks David, that's a great help mate, I'd love to fish the float ,if you're not to busy I was wondering what equipment are you using? Would a 13ft power float rod be ok? What lb mainline? Are you feeding hemp and caster through the swim? Hope you dont mind the questions mate
@@IGThomas46 I use a Cadence CR10#3 Match Rod, mainline: 7lb Bayer Perlon . Hook Length: 6.4lb Drennan Flurocarbon. Hook: 16 wide gape with a hair rig when using pellets. Hook bait either meat or halibut pellets. Feed is as per hook bait. The river is low and clear at the moment so its all about finding the fish
Hi David. Great video by the way. It's been hard fishing lately. Can I ask what club runs the stretch? I live in Telford, and It's so hard to find out who runs the stretches in Coalport. I used to fish there as a kid, but I've been out of Telford area for so long, everything has changed so much😭 Thanks. Ken
Hi kenny - in terms of Coalport and jackfield , outside of rowley Regis stretch ( which is below the Woodbridge pub) you have the brewery inn stretch which begins outside the brewery pub and goes downstream ( pub sell tickets ) .. the rest of the river bank is not managed by any clubs so is either owned by the council , Severn gorge countryside or the EA . The EA have the free stretch 100 yards before the shake pub .. all above that is council owned so you can essentially fish that until told different and on jackfield side the same .. outside the maws craft centre is free ( until told different ) as is the track just below the boat pub until you get to Davies field .. two exceptions to the above .. the boat pub have a couple of pegs in their beer garden - they will I think let you fish for a donation to British legion as a peg fee and Davies field is privately owned but I've " guested" on there for years and never been asked to move on .. hope that helps
