Feedback & Reports

The two of us fished 4 days this week (21st, 22nd, 24th, 25th). River started high and coloured on the first day, and dropped throughout the week. Had to work hard to find the Barbel, but managed 8 between the two of us on the last day, with the largest 8lb 4oz. We were lucky with the conditions and had a very enjoyable week, and hopefully will be able to come again one day.

8 Barbel, 3 Chub

A little slower than yesterday but another very pleasant day with the river continuing to fall and beginning to clear. 1 barbel of 8.5 lbs, the other 2 about 4.5 lbs.

River very high after rain, just starting to drop, very pleasant day.

2 Barbel, 10 Chub

Quite a cool and wet day with the river carrying a good amount of fresh water. Caught from beats 6 and 4, the better fish coming towards in the evening. Despite the weather a good day as always on this beat.

3 Barbel, 9 Chub

Hen fish, 12lb caught on No 3 around 1900 on size 12 Irish shrimp fly

1 Salmon

A good day's fishing and a fair amount of walking. Plenty of nice water to have a go at. Caught from beats 3 and 4. Only a nibble was the reward for the trek down to beat 6. Legered meat and pellets the method.

Water level was good & all beats were fishable; Plenty of coloured fish showing ,esp. on beat 3 but nothing touched by any of the anglers who were all fishing the fly.Lovely day with plenty of wildlife to observe including one very relaxed kingfisher that had a bit of a cough for a while;We all thought he may have just 'downed' a rather large stickleback?Thanks for a wonderful day.

Fished Whitney Court mainly as we were camping with friends near locksters pool and didn't want to be disrespectful and not buy a ticket. Very nice stretch but reputedly difficult for trout this time of year so no catch for us.

Plenty of large fish splashes and two really good pike showed their backs whilst we were at the water and a third that came to check out my friends leg whilst wading in middle. Probably better for coarse fish or salmon right time of the year. Nevertheless, a beautiful river no matter what beat you're on.
