Usually only fish the Swale but have often fancied trying further afield,got a weeks holiday in september does anyone know where i could rent a cottage or caravan not too far south which has a chance of some good chub, barbel fishing thrown in,preferably next to the river as i will have my other half with me , im based in the north east.............cheers

suppose it depends on how far you want to travel? but if it was me......Trent or Wensum which gives you a run down the A1, or cross country i'd go for the Wye,Severn or Avon.

cheers

You could try Mainoaks cottages right on the banks of the river wye, lovely stretch with symonds yat and the forest of dean just up the road.

Mainoaks front garden stretch is PAAC only, their stretch is a bit further out but good.
