ST. GEORGES PARK, BRISTOL, SOUTHWEST, ENGLAND

Originally, this land was the Fire Station Farm and is on the eastern edge of inner city Bristol. The main species are carp and roach, perch are on the increase and odd tench can be found.  Maybe even some introduced catfish are lurking around.

Many methods work here, the carp which run to double figures can be caught on floating crust (but watch out for the ducks), method feeder, straight lead, waggler, pole, with meat, maggot, caster, sweetcorn or bread as the bait.

Roach to 2lb fall to caster fished over a bed of hemp. You don't have to cast far, most fish are right in front of you.
