A half mile stretch runs through our River Valley site, offering the mobile angler very enjoyable sport. In summertime vigorous weed growth and shallow, clear water present more of a challenge. However, the adaptable angler should be able to overcome these obstacles and enjoy good sport seeking the chub, dace roach and perch on this prolific little river.
The River Blackwater contains Chub, Roach, Gudgeon, Dace and some Pike to mid 20’s and may be fished from the wooden fence near the entrance to the site through to the end of the main lake.
Suitable for most river tactics, although the venue is largely shallow with fast shallow runs into deeper areas.
Fish the deeper areas and glides for consistent sport and check out the over hanging trees and rafts for the Chub.
