That would depend what you are fishing for?! Barbel I presume? The usual barbel baits and tactics work around marcliff. The locals tend to use halibut pellets a lot. And they get 'em too.

Friday, after the rain, the river was rising quickly and had an extra foot by the time I left, but I'm sure that will have run off by now.

me and a freind had some lovely barbel up to 8lb from marlcliff.where the arrow joins is popular.anyone had a carp from this stretch?

[darrengeorge]

That swim gets absolutely hammered. From the Salford priors side.

No penny, not caught or seen any, but stories abound of old boys and doubles.

Will have to get back on the flowing water soon http://www.rmcangling.co.uk/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif I take it its flowing again now??
