Feedback & Reports

Low clear river on arrival .. trotting ted maggots .. 3xost. Then by 11am the river coloured up significantly - a colour best described as milky !! No more bite and river crept up throughout day .. very little rain on journey to venue from Shropshire and no significant puddles so not sure what caused the colour/ rise ?? I walked all way to sewage works and noted water cascading in to main from an outfall near water plant .. not sure if this is always the case or whether it was reason for milky colour … either way in terms of grayling fishing it dire .

Fishing Passport note: If you witness a discharge from a sewage treatment works, please report it to NRW on 0300 065 3000 or, if in England, to the Environment Agency on 0800 80 70 60 as soon as you can. This is in addition to reporting it through your catch return. Also, if you have your mobile phone or camera with you please take photos. There is a possibility that any such discharge is outside the treatment works consent, especially if in dry conditions. Your quick reporting and evidence will give the regulator the opportunity to check and investigate it.

River quite low for time of year which may have limited the number of swims suitable for trotting a float. One particular hot spot produced 5 fine grayling to 2lb 4oz but could not find another along the stretch. Physically demanding day for those of senior years.

Very cold day, river clear apart from deepest holes. Caught one out of season brown trout on a nymph and one grayling about 16 inches on a beaded nymph. Nothing rising.

Beautiful venue, water absolutely gin clear. Even saw a small hatch what might have been large dark olives or similar.
