Feedback & Reports

River coloured with levels dropping although there was heavy overnight rain the previous evening. 5 barbel caught by myself from two different swims. Unfortunately, the other angler did not catch. Both of us using the same ground bait feeder with pellet hook baits. Other hook baits tried but the barbel were only taking pellets. Banks very slippery so a dogspike and rope essential.

Really good day, caught well in the morning, then after a quiet spell it picked up in the afternoon. Best fish 9.5lb.

River was up around 3ft and in perfect condition. three anglers fished from and stayed in the same swims throughout.
Two of the Barbel were over 9 pound's
A great fishery with good access although we were in a 4 x 4.
It may be more difficult in a smaller car if conditions were especially wet.
Will definitely be coming back

Between us we fished eight swims searching for barbel and failed miserably. Most of the chub were caught on meat but we tried a range of pellets and boilies with feeders or straight leads and nothing could get the barbel interested today it would seem.
