Is it free on the meddy and if so what tactics would you recommend to start with? <br /><br />Cheers Bry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993292052123441397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680490488040302616.post-57428869703876669142014-04-10T15:27:23.374-07:002014-04-10T15:27:23.374-07:00Hi,ive started fishing the Tame in the last 6 mont...Hi,ive started fishing the Tame in the last 6 months ,I am 55 and only just stared the hobby ,I thought I would try it as it is a mile away from my home and free ! When you are staring out that counts.<br />I have caught trout most times I have been out, I started out on worm ,ledgering and float but got nothing ,I found it hard with float as it is quite fast and trotting an avon is harder than it sounds,then by the Roaches Lock bridge I watched an old guy who got 40plus trout in a couple of hours ,he was feeder fishing maggot and it was a fish a chuck. He gave me some maggots and I broke my duck and got three myself. After that I used feeder for a bit but found that they were taking the maggot down and I couldn't remove the hook too well.If I am not eating the fish I don't want to potentially kill it so I went on to light spinners and have some nice fish ,not as many ,after two the swim seems to go dead but it is fun.The best day was when I bought a 5ft rod from a charity shop for £2.50 because it looked like the light spinners the Americans seem to use (I think its just a 70s kids rod) anyway I stuck a tiny spinner on and in shallow water on new swim got a great trout ,first cast as it hit the water ,two casts later I got his brother ,I have tried big and small plugs jig heads ,deadbaiting with no luck but had trout on sweetcorn and luncheon meat. I am still finding my feet really but seem to think about fishing all the time lately and if i am not on the bank i am making lures and spinners.I missed two fish last week on diy flying c,s just as I lifted them out at my feet on a reservoir that shall remain nameless for nowAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993292052123441397noreply@blogger.com
