Wheres the river Blackwater?

If it was a coarse river I would wait till the floods were over and fish in the smaller rivers running off it where the small fish take cover and that's where the pike and perch which is what I am into go to hunt them

I have access to a few small rivers but can't fish for trout , even if I could , as the season is march to September

Only fished a stillwater for trout once or twice , are they open all year round your way ?
River Blackwater runs near Sandhurst on the Berks/Hants border then into the Loddon south of Reading which then joins the Thames east of Reading.

Some Stillwater trout fishing round here but in winter it’s all lure ripping which ain’t my cuppa.

Might have a go spinning for pike on some of the open waters on the Thames.
