Off to a wedding in London mid October but I am driving back on my own as Cass is off to the US straight after the wedding.

This means I have 2 days to get back home so was looking at stopping off half way home for some fishing.

I am looking at Meadow Fishery near Chester (Meikle Trafford) as I get a lot of my rod building stuff from John there, but is there anywhere else people can recommend?

I would prefer somewhere quiet where I can spend a few hours stalking trout or fishing on the top. Maybe even a river?

Keep driving a while and hit one of the Solway rivers for some grayling.

Cheers

Tiz an idea but if I was doing that I would rather hit Loch Maben for the Bream this time of year, some monsters and big numbers of them.

I really want to stick north of Birmingham and south of Carlise. I will be packing a 4 weight and a 5 weight in the car, so small waters or rivers.

Thanks again

Meadow Fishery takes some beating .  Not much better down there . Brilliant shop also .

However if you want a change - -and a laugh ---  try Clay Lane Farm  past Knutsford .  I thought it was a real Mickey Mouse fishery but I blanked on the day .  Everyone friendly and helpful .

Cheers  , Pete
