Absolutely agree with you. A seemingly impossibly fast and shallow stream, a dark pool under a tree, who knows what lurks beneath. Im realiably informed there is a upper 6lb chub in this same stretch of the ouse. That would be something....

I have a marco medway. I would love to try it out on the medway. That seems to be my thing now. Fishing rivers with their namesake rod. Going to fish the kennett as soon as i get my kennett perfection back from refurb.

Rb, i was looking at the map of the medway, it flows much further west than i realised through a number of places i know well and in fact a small stream i used to fish when i was young on the ashdown forest. Some chub in there.
Roughly what area of the medway are you focussing on?

Lovely river Carp Hex.
