The Fens are still popular with visiting anglers, particular from the North, many who honed their skills on the Fens Drains and Rivers. The Macclesfield Postie is down next week and no doubt will be seen puffing on his pipe along the banks of the Ouse snaring roach on fine tactics. Recent weekends has seen anglers down from the Steel City, the best they got was a suntan, although tench obliged at Pingle and Crooked for some.

“Robin” of Loxley and his merry men had another great holiday fishing Pingle landing good nets of skimmer, a few bream and tench in particular. The weather was not too kind proving. One question remains how did Maid Marion or was it Emma land in the water, sky lining possibly or was somebody after a big catch. I did hear it was a great pirouette before she hit the water. With recent rains freshening up the waterways if you need some rest, recuperation and some fine fishing then why not pay the Fens a visit. Use our Google connections to find your way to your peg.
