Comments.
This long river with an average width of 200 meters is used constantly
by huge barges. Leaving a big wake after and before passing plenty of
heavy leads are required to hold bottom. Grippers are a good bet in
conjunction with heavy line and traces. Some of the banks are high. The
carp hold up around harbours and snaggy areas. The margins are the
favourite part of thee water due to the flow which takes end tackle down
stream with ease.
To review hundreds of waters for great carp fishing.
