RIVER THAMES, MEDLEY, OXFORDSHIRE

In a recent match on this stretch every section was won with a double-figure

catch and the winner had more than 20lb of roach, perch and chub. Pole fishing is the dominant method here, and fishing worm and caster over groundbait around 14m out is recommended. This should put you in touch with the fish. Waggler tactics have also been proven to work well. Using maggots and hemp has resulted in good bags of roach being put together on this stretch.
