Feedback & Reports

We cancelled the trip due to the river conditions. We were very disappointed that a refund wasn't given. We believe that it was the responsible thing to do in the extreme conditions and should be encouraged by the fishery.

Fishing Passport Comment : The river at Abernant was undoubtedly low on 3rd Aug 2026, but still fishable.

Extremely hot late morning. Clouded over mid afternoon with a few spots of rain. Had a couple of Grayling on bugs before lunch and lost a bigger fish in the deeper holes. Spiders in the afternoon accounted for three more Grayling and a Brownie.
Rest of the catch made on size 18 dry sedge when the rise started. Grayling upto 12oz, biggest Brownie about 10oz.
Lovely beat to fish, will bring wadding stick next time. Thoroughly recommend.

Hot, still, warm water, bright sunshine, low water level. Everything against it, no fish but herons, red kites and buzzards, lovely to be there. That's what it's all about.

nice fast water but why did i book on a sunday as everyone was launching(and congregating) from all the access points on the beat. loads and loads of canoes.could haved splashed down to the downstream end but a very rocky splash with tackle.
Stayed near the island in a lovely looking swim but only dace and chublets plus a trout on float fished corn and meat.
Feeder draped in blanket weed every cast. Easy steps down to the rocky shore from the downstream car parkm with the honesty box - bargain at £1.
nice beat but next time ill book mid week.

Water very low but still some nice pockets. Fish caught on Hares Ear Bead Nymph and Red Tag Nymph. No rising to dry flies until around 10am.
