Hi, ive never been course fishing before but since i live closer to a river
than the sea, i might start.

I have a spinning rod that i use for sea fishing, lures etc.

closest decent fishing spot to me is marlow. What could i expect to catch
with that setup?

If not what inexpensive setup would anyone recommend for general course
fishing in marlow

tia


Pike and Perch, possibly the odd Chub as well on spinners/plugs (but not
until 16th June - it's the close season on the rivers at the moment).

You can get a reasonable coarse rod & reel for less than £50 - say a 13'
float rod or 11' quiver tip, I'd go for the tip rod on the river. Best
bet is to find a local tackle shop and go in and ask. They'll be able to
give local advice on what works where you plan to go including what club
memberships or day tickets you'll need.
