Feedback & Reports

Turned up today with the temperature gauge on the car showing 0 degrees, so we knew we were in for a hard time, water level was down about 12 to 18 inches on the last time we fished here, so we decided to walk the stretch looking for deeper water, I think that if we found a pool that resembled an abyss it wouldn't of helped us today, the two of us never had a tap all day. The highlight was a salmon jumping (twice) and a kingfisher making a couple of appearances.
ps. Please heed the WUF's warning about the wooded area, it is quite treacherous in places !

A cold start but a beautiful autumnal day on the river. Two Cormorants feeding just below the woods. Six swims tried, two small Barbel at the death, tough days fishing.

Fished the bottom of the wood and field below, started on the float with bread before putting some bait in for barbel. Did not have a single bite off anything on any of the swims I tried. River low and clear.

Stunningly beautiful venue. River low. Long, hard day's fishing with only one chub between us both.

Very poor 3 days of fishing. The river was clear and with a drop in temperature I am sure the fish were hibenating! No real bites apart from 2 chub. We were using pellets and feeders, and saw several kingfishers.

Nothing caught cold spell.

Caught one chub 4lbs on pellets. Very cold, no colour in the water.

A tough day for me as I blanked! My friend managed 2 barbel and 2 chub, but had to work hard for it. We started by climbing cardiac hill and fishing beyond the wood, but switched to the other side later on in the afternoon. This is a lovely stretch, and worth a visit, but the walk to the other side of the wood is hard work.

River fast with weed not easy????
