Re: lower itchen destruction
in the past few seasons the lower itchen has had a run of a few sea lampreys I think that they are a protected species altering there habitat could be against the law perhaps English nature should get involved

Re: lower itchen destruction
A friend of mine caught and Lamprey from the lower Itchen a fewer weeks ago whilst fly fishing for sea trout. He said it was incredibly slimy. Needless to say it was foul hooked.

Re: lower itchen destruction
Hi.iI am new to the forum and live just 5 mins from Woodmil. I have been away from angling for 20 plus years and am shocked to read this about a river I have fished since I was 11 years old (47 years ago!).
Is there any update to these shenanigans?

Re: lower itchen destruction
Probably, but don't bother Rob.
Free parking at the bottom end of the fishery off Woodmill Lane. No time limit.
Had a very hard fighting 3lb chub just up from there today (so much better than working).
You can still park for free at the White Swan if you go in & register inside the pub. Otherwise @ £15 if staying more than a couple of hours !!!
The proposed removal of the lock obviously hasn't happened.
Should have another TFF day there.
Chub to 6lb plus, trout, grayling, eels, roach, pike......
