Hamoaze

Hamoaze cuts through England, United Kingdom and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Hamoaze — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Atlantic mackerel

  When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.

• For Ballan wrasse

  Ballan wrasse often inhabit rocky areas, so use a slightly heavier weight to get your bait down quickly and avoid snags.

• For European conger

  Fish baits and lures close to the seabed, especially around wrecks and rocky areas, as conger are often ambush predators.
