Had a tough session on the browney for chub Monday gone i tried about 5 or 6 really good swims with cheesepaste and liquidised bread even baited up a few spots too try on the way back. Didn't get as much as a single sniff off anything, the otters must doing some real damage which is a shame.
Yes every Wear angler says the same, keep persevering you may hit lucky. Ferryhill has a small stretch at catterick on the Swale access just past racecourse and as you hit village. I fish opposite side and there's a good head of chub, grayling and trout in that area maybe try there is your looking to catch chub using same method you are using.
@@paulfinlay yeah I've yet too try the swale at Catterick need too get round too that at some point, I walked down newfield the other week and a angler had a 3lb chub out on maggot so they are still there just very sparse I think, thanks for the heads up 👍
@@seanclarey983well that's a good sign not finished newfield for sometime. Mobile approach and fishing 20 to 30 mins a swim covering lots of water is the right approach just keep at it as we get into the closing week of the season it tends to improve.
Is this part off the browney part off ferryhill angling club I'm joining the club next week and looking too do a bit of grayling and chub fishing and don't really know where too start 😅
Hi Sean, Yes it's part of ferryhill water. Sadly the chub had vanished from the Browney last one I had was 2019 due to predation also Wear numbers have drastically declined on the Wear get the odd one but need to cover lots of water. As for grayling I stopped fishing for them but have seen grayling on the page bank stretch this are is hard walking and you'll need to travel light if you intend trotting worm and maggots when Rivers eventually become low and clear hope this helps. Regards Paul
@@paulfinlay yeah it's the same at bishop auckland town water stretch, I was out with the centerpin and didn't have a sniff, there's a family off otters up there and gooseanders, there used too be a few big barbel but haven't seen them at the batts pool in years. Never mind I'll give pagebank stretch ago sometime this week depending on weather forecast/river 👍
Hi paul, I'm going abit off topic here but do you know much about the tilery pond that ferryhill angling club own I had a walk around it but don't know an awful lot about the place and thanks for the heads up about the pagebank stretch it is awkward to walk but ended up with 2 nice grayling and a few small ones trotting biggest went 1lb 6oz 👍
@@seanclarey983 Hi Sean, yes no it well fished it when ferryhill first got it. Holds roach,ide,bream and carp some to double figures. Maggots,meat and corn worked for me on a bed of hemp . I believe there's F1,s also been stocked. Maybe slow this time of year if you targeting carp but improves when temperatures rise hope this helps you.

@@seanclarey983 Well good luck I still fish these areas occasionally hopefully finding some specimen chub like the Wear had.
