Small tributaries and backwaters can offer great winter sport as the fish quite often shoal up with the main rivers carrying extra water, the proof was in the pudding as Alan Muller found with this 2lb 11oz redfin.
This tiny waterway is a tributary to the River Thames and has been in great form for roach this season. Alan used maggot feeder tactics, with two grubs fished on a size 16 hook presented over the top of an area he’d fed with a bait dropper. In addition to the two-pounder, Alan landed roach of 1lb 8oz, 1lb 10oz, and half a dozen over the 1lb mark.Well done Alan!
