Welcome aboard lain. I used to fish the Thames at Abingdon ,when I was stationed there with the RAF back in the late 70s.
Not a fish was visible that first time I visited Beechmere; an utter
stillness brooded over the place and I felt the strange and sinister atmosphere which, so the story goes,
has been the cause of several suicides.’

Thanks again guys. Yes, I've been lucky with some great chub in this stretch around Benson, regularly catching 5-6lbers, and last summer had a great 20lb mirror from just below day's lock. I have an inflatable kayak, and regularly cruise from Clifton hampden down to Benson, fishing along the way. It's a tough job....
