Swapping Pavements for Ponds: Following our tough look at police enforcement in Tactical Contact, sometimes the best way to reset is to trade the noisy streets for the calm banks of our local ponds and rivers.
Surviving the Summer Drought: Bridgwater boasts a deeply passionate fishing scene, but the brutal dry spells over the summer months left local ponds and drains dangerously low, severely punishing fish stocks and putting local angling on hold (well certainly for me!).
The Rains Bring Relief: Thankfully, the recent heavy downpours have finally replenished water levels across our local networks, offering a massive sigh of relief to clubs and anglers who feared the worst for the season.
Getting Back on the Bank: With water health recovering just as September kicks off, conditions are prime to get back out to local hotspots like Dunwear Ponds and surrounding river drains for the autumn coarse fishing run.
Plan Your Next Trip: Whether you're looking for a peaceful weekend walk with the dog or checking permit rules to get your lines back in the water, you can find full details via the Bridgwater Angling Association waters page.
Still a beginner at this but pleased with my catches in our wonderful local ponds.
