Talked to a chap at Erith a couple of days ago, I was taking some photos to put up ( if the proboard stops locking up on me ,I'll post them !) he asked why I was taking pictures, I said about our kayak fishing ,got the usual reply that were daft etc, but he told me that he used to fish from his boat there and that as the ouse is tidal up to brownshill staunch - upstream of Erith 3 1/2 miles -you can fish it from a boat without hinder. I told him CFPAS were good for their waters beyond the bridge , but this section is an area I have fished for a couple of years with no-one bothering me ,and now I know why ! If you were down this way and wanted fished the ouse, Erith is an easy launch and park, but this upstream area has good deep water and a couple of marinas and an island ,and a grub pub onto the water ! further up from Erith is one of my favourite areas, trees are hanging over the edge in a solid strip of 1/4 mile, its know for its bream fishing near the dismantled railway bridge , near to the staunch water is very aerated and should be good for jacks ( on the fly maybe ?) or zander late in the day. Haven't fished it as got ignored by the clubs (one bank only ) but as we are boat fishing its open for us. Will escape from the family early week at the soonest and take some photos of all these areas. Look out for the seals near the marinas, they pop up and make you jump a bit ! good for photos if you notice them first.
