hi tenisgol, i fish britford quite a bit,take the road down to bridge farm and you will see a sign for the fishery,stuart the keeper is normally there at 9am, he has a portocabin in the carpark,if its roach your after, harnam bridge on the island is where i would try, if your after chub or barbel i would go down stream from the carpark where the two rivers meet together but its quite a hike,so i tend to travel light and roam from swim to swim trotting a float, but it might pay to try a feeder or touch ledger, it may have a bit of colour in it at the moment,dont overlook the magins as ive spotted many a barbel right under my feet. fishing maggots you will have problems with millions of minnows, but the cold weather may have knocked them back a bit. it is best fished in the winter in my view,there are some cracking dace in the old river plus grayling and some good perch and lots of pike, in the summer i fish tares for the roach as the minnows tend to leave tares alone, so i would try bread flake ,cheese, or worm. best of luck and please let me know how you get on. chubman.
