River Douglas,Gathurst

[wokkie]

On Monday(my day off),I had about 2 and a half to 3 hours of stick-float trotting with maggots at the Douggie next to the pub at Gathurst(Wigan & District Angling Association water)
Caught a few dozen of little dace,roach,perch,baby chubs Nothing big but very enjoyable few hours with light tackles.Wish I got more fishing time that I would fishing the tip for the better size chubs I'd lost 2 decent ones(hook pull) on my trotting gears with only size 22 hooks and .08mm bottom

Apart from the odd showers,weather's not too bad.The water was so clear,we need more rain.

Appley Bridge not too bad there for free fishing only if the kids are back to school during the week I was there at June after the season's open this year,caught a few bits and a couple small chubs on the stick float :(The best peg I like it's the one next to the big pipe :(A few small chubs about under the over hanging tree on your right
