Feedback & Reports

We were 2 coarse anglers and 1 salmon
The river was low but we managed to catch 10 barbel and 6 chub on a mixture if float and feeder tactics, our salmon angler unfortunately did not catch but did see several fish during the day.

10 Barbel, 6 Chub

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

Warm and sunny but not too hot. Fished mainly beats 2 and 4 on feeder, using pellet or luncheon. A nice narrow run down from the old house gave a few barbel and chub on the saturday - top weight about 7lbs. A beautiful part of the river, with the pub and campsite right in the middle of the stretch making life very convenient. Will undoubtedly be returning!

1 Trout, 3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Day 2, we fished the same stretches on Sunday with same tactics and similar results. Two of the party caught their first ever barbel which was tremendous. Had looked forward to this w/e for weeks and spent a fortune on refreshing my tackle bag....and then it was over. Already plotting our return!

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

1 Other

5 Trout, 1 Barbel

Hot and sunny, ......chub just under 5. Several fish lost to snags. Canoeists mainly sensible and careful, some perhaps not recognising others use the river.

2 Chub

Late afternoon into evening ~not ideal times buthe the beat to myself.
Slow burner but rewarded with some great barbel and a chub. Stunning venue.

Arrived to find the river still showing a tinge of colour but the warm bright conditions proved difficult. BP managed to winkle out a pristine Chub of approx. 2 ½ lb but despite best efforts with various pellets, meat and corn, this was to be the only success of the day. Overall, a tough day when the river reminded us who is boss. Still a great day to be on the bank. Numerous large Salmon jumping clear of the water throughout the day, with hundreds of Damselflies keeping us company. Surprisingly few canoes, most of whom were courteous and polite.
