New & Old Dowells River

 

This stretch of water is a narrow drainage system extending from the Royal Military Canal at Appledore.
Normally average depths of between 4-8ft and around 30ft wide but in the summer months heavy weed extends out from the banks to create a narrow fishable channel.
A real stalkers water that contains some magnificent, yet shy specimens including: 

  • Bream averaging 6lbs
  • Tench averaging 6lbs 
  • Roach averaging 1lb 
  • Carp averaging 10lbs
  • Pike to 20lbs

Large baits work well here with the old favourites like worm, flake or corn bunches with plenty of loose feed.
The fish are extremely shy and if you are careful, can often be seen in the margins discolouring the water and slurping in the weed, if you hook a big fish, it may pay to move along as the commotion may have sent the others elswhere!
This water is set in the fantastic Sussex surroundings, is hardly fished and will probably throw up some very big surprises for the mobile angler.
