Latest update  May 30th 2009    After a very trying year it is now time to start thinking about June 16th and a new season on the rivers. Last season we had some very good reports of fish on both rivers, the River Beult had some very good surprises with tench to 6lb plus and chub to nearly 3lb along with some very nice roach to about a pound, and if it is predators your after the pike sport can be very hectic and you might be surprised with the size of some of the perch that are in there.  Considering the size of this river the fishing can brilliant.  With the River Medway you should be able to pick up around 10lb of mixed fish on a good day. If you use sweetcorn there are some very nice roach to be had and if you tip it with a worm then bream start to take notice, the bream generally go to around 4lb. There are also some very nice chub to 4lb if you can tempt them out from under the bank. Later in the season last year the pike activity was a little bit hectic as they were taking some of the roach that were being caught and they only seemed to take the fish that were 6oz and over, again there are some very big perch here as well. On both of the river if you use maggot you will probably get pestered with bleak and last years fry so it normally pays to have just a little bit bigger bait for the bigger fish.
