Portholme Meadow our fishery on
the River Ouse very often gets completely flooded
during the winter months
and becomes one huge lake. That is when this fishery comes into its own a
small river running into the main Ouse it consists of two courses forming
a complete island fishery. In normal conditions the lower of the two
rivers is usually flowing fastest but as the river floods the weirs are
operated and the lower river slows down and the top river starts to flow
hardest. This means that it stays fishable for far longer and it is only
in the worst of floods that the venue becomes completely un fishable. With
possibly roach being more predominant than on the main river their are
also plenty of chub, dace, a few bream and pike with the odd large carp. |
