River Awe

Flowing through Alba / Scotland, United Kingdom, River Awe is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at River Awe hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, River Awe can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

  Use a running ledger rig with a long trace to allow the smooth-hound to move freely with the bait; heavy sinker helps keep bait on the bottom.

• For Thornback ray

  When fishing for thornback rays, use a running ledger rig with a long snood to allow the bait to move freely and attract attention along the seabed.

• For Grey gurnard

  Grey gurnard are bottom feeders, so focus your efforts close to the seabed and use a slow retrieve to entice them.
