charliewag Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 plenty of fish to be caught around neepsend / hillfoot bridge though it's not very picturesque due to the fly tipping. not much flow at the moment but you'll still catch trout and grayling with the chance of chub, roach, perch and perhaps a barbel. maggot will get you plenty of bites or sit it out for bigger fish with a big worm or luncheon meat.

Thanks for posting that. I will give it a go. It's great to be able to fish these rivers for the odd hour and a bit of fun without the hefty pond charges. Shame the spots are so 'ugly' though!

sheff 13 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Not so ugly down Clay Wheels lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliewag Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 isn't it? i took the dog down into beeley wood this morning and i saw evidence of fly tipping though not as bad as around hillfoot bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn800 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Not so ugly down Clay Wheels lane. Yes. I've had a good look down Claywheels Lane / Beeleywood. I was surprised to get no bites trying around the Claywheels bridge. There are not many places to get to the river on Beeleywood. I fished at the end of that road. Good fun in the pool after the drop from the weir, but the fish were so wary! Can see them, but they don't take the critical maggot! In the river beyond the weir the fish had no interest in my bait either, assuming there are some..... Perhaps I'm just a rubbish fisherman - I only play at it! It is sad to see all the decomposing rubbish and black plastic bags on Beeleywood road. I'll check out Hillfoot soon. Thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn800 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I just wondered if it is any good to access the 'Claywheels Lane' river from Middlewood Road. Anybody know? Which river is this - not managed to find a name on it on the on-line maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
