Feedback & Reports

Arrived at the beat and drove through the field looking at the river and it looked high and fast, not confident. Began walking into the woods section and the first swim had a good looking back eddie and a double swim to fish. 1 barbel(7lb 2oz) in the morning with one small chub (~1.5lb) quickly afterwards. After a break and re-baiting spots for lunch had 3 more barbel in the afternoon (5lb 11oz, 7lb 6oz and 6lb 9oz) with the last one arriving as we were begining to pack up at 7pm. Great day.

Not a good day cought more branches in the water than fish and banks all overgrown

Only one 3 1/2Ib chub caught and one lost. Too many canoes passing by (many of them rude and didn't care about or even look for anglers - ploughing straight through our near bank several times) and very hot/bright. Feeder and ledger methods used with various pellets and meat baits but hardly any bites considering the reasonable flow and slight colour to the water. Of note, the track down to the car parking area is quite deeply rutted in places and some anglers from Yorkshire (booked on the adjacent Home stretch) got their van stuck and had to abort their fishing trip after kindly being pulled out by a local in a 4WD vehicle. The recent rain had affected the track and it's best left to proper 4 WD's during wet periods. Due to the very heavy canoe traffic, we won't be fishing such stretches on a weekend ever again.
