21st September Bristol Avon and a gravel pit close by.
The next day we met near a wonderful gravel pit complex where there are some good tench up to just under 8lbs in weight. Colin had wanted to catch one of these, however I did advise him that late September was quite late in the year but we did have a small chance. Brian and I fished a swim feeder →

Some did crack off during the day which vindicated my decision. I met Brain the bailiff for Throop and he kindly →
