Feedback & Reports

The weather was dull, dry and rather windy. The fishery is lovely, as is the village through which it runs. The river was rather coloured. Only managed 1 barbel today (7lbs) and rather surprisingly for the time of year she was very slim, looking as if she had just spawned. Quite a tough day today, but nevertheless enjoyable. Wildlife was plentiful and most entertaining.

Very nice fishery, swims very good and also some steps have been put it a couple of swims, which is very helpful. Fish were caught throughout the day, mainly on pellets. Dave had 12, Pete had 7 and Alan had 5 ? Very good day. Thanks

Another great day on this stretch of water with barbel ranging from 6 to 9lb 6oz and a chub of around 4lb (all caught on pellet). Weather conditions were favourable again with overcast sky's and light showers.

Conditions looked promising when we arrived at around 10am and we weren't disappointed.
We fished pellets and feeder tactics and caught barbel throughout the day with a flurry of activity coming towards the end.
The biggest was caught by Paulo who ended the day with a magnificent barbel of 10lb 4oz. He caught 7 in total and I had 9.
All fish were hard fighting and in great condition.

River in good condition, good flow. Slow start, initially fished bottom end boundary area with no luck. Moved to bottom field gate area and had 3 barbel from late morning, moved again in the afternoon to the upstream section after Foy Bridge and had another 3. All fish caught on ledgered pellet/PVA bag method.
