Hello all,
Thank You for the welcomes.
Well , my three and a half weeks off has come to an end .
I return to Iraq tonight via Dubai. Dubai ??? A terrible place . Avoid if you can.
I went fishing several times .
Local to Chester is the canal at the back of Chester zoo which as OK - mainly small silver fish.
I have permission to fish a small syndicate water just outside Chester and that was pretty good.
Lots of roach and rudd. Quite a few carp were rising later in the day. I tried a floating crust but no luck.
Just outside Chester is a commercial water called Hampton Springs.
Very good fishing but very busy with the bivvy , alarms and three rods brigade.
Nothing wrong with that , just not for me.
If anyone else here is local to Chester and know of any good waters , please let me know , If you would like.
Hope you all have a good month or so , and until I get back home in Aug.........
Nick

Hi,
I lived in Cheshire for a few years. Fished Hampton Spring in a couple of matches. Used to be a 16m Pole place, but I am sure pleasure fishing you could catch close in and there is Chub in there. There is another place near Frodsham I used to fish and that had two pounds. The top one was good for some nice Rudd and Small Carp. You could catch them at the end of the rod top.
Further afield you could try the River Weaver at Winsford which is Good for Roach fishing, with Skimmers and Bream if there is some colour in the water. You could also try Tatton lake or Sparrow Grove just outside MIddlewich. Both are Middlewich Anglers Association. Tatton used to have some nice Tench and Crucian Carp in it. Sparrow Grove, I had some very good days Bream fishing.
I think there may be some free fishing near you on the River Dee at Farndon? My wife and I went for a walk there once and it looked lovely. Some chap was catching Dace and had a few Grayling.
Hope this helps.

Hi Nick - thank you for your intro. I once got offered some lucrative work in the Middle East and I thought about it. In the end I had to tell the company that offered it that I would take the post providing that they could re route the Herefordshire Wye through that country. Well who needs the money, when its Autumn, there's colour in the river and the roach are priming by the Pump House?
