This
venue is on the ‘River Great Ouse’ at Offord. The fishery is in actual
fact a complete island providing swims on the main river and a back
stream. The only access is on a pontoon which crosses the back stream. The
swims along the back stream which is narrow and very deep even close to
the bank side. The average depth is at least 9 ft. and they contain good
roach. At the right time these swims often produce good nets to hemp and
tares. The
main river is less deep but roach can still be found in large numbers.
Chub are also well worth targeting and most of the swims look ideal for
this species which can often be caught tight in to the bank under
overhanging trees. Other fish include bream, tench, dace, pike and perch.
The swims at the upstream end of the island on the river which at this
point is wide and slow often produce the bream and tench. The venue can
also turn up the odd barbel usually a double figure fish. The main problem
for anglers visiting this venue seems to be picking a first swim to fish.
I have heard many state that
every swim is so inviting that it is difficult to decide which one to try
every swim looks so good and so likely to produce fish.
The fishery has about thirty swims all
within a short walk of the pontoon the path is good all round the
fishery but it has a very secluded and wild aspect. |
