Almost any stream 10 mile sup the road from Cricklade in Swindon. We seem to
be having a glut of them I am glad to say. You may have to fish around a few
natural obstacles though like shopping trolleys.VBG

I did the whole thing with a net for the grandsons a year back and we caught
5 in one scoop, 3 spin if I remember correctly. I did think of trying with a
stick and hook but did not want to show myself up.VBG

I have a few hundred baby goldfish ( natural colours now ) in my pond if you
want them, seems I got the vegetarian gold fish in the world back when I
started it off. I was tempted to try out the pole at home though.(;-)

No, just a small stream inlet and a drain off that is a little more but
still only stickleback territory. I do have a section of canal fairly
close
but even that is closed both ends.

Nearest real river is the Thames at Cricklade which I used to fish right
down to Lechlade in my youth.

The Thames is still free fishing upstream of the dual carriageway overpass
to the first bridge upstream of Cricklade. It's not really the sort of
easy fishing Derek has in mind, though.

Actually, I'm after a few sticklebacks for my garden pond, I don't suppose
you'd care to share the location of your stickleback hunting grounds? :0)
