Popped onto the River Medway this morning after a couple of hours in work. The rain has added a little colour which I was looking forward to exploiting.
The section I fish is relatively close to Allington Lock and when I arrived I set up a 4m whip and a stick float setup - there was a hefty flow running toward the lock and trotting the stick was fab producing a steady stream of small roach & bleak to single maggot fished 3-4 rod lengths out about 12’ deep.
When the flow stopped suddenly, as it does, the bites disappeared so out came the whip for a couple of teeny roach then some tiddler perch before the big boys moved in. Plenty of chunky perch headed into the landing net up to the point the flow switched on again, bites stopped and the stick float line began producing with better quality roach.
Has anyone else noticed a species v flow rate correlation on their waters ?
