Feedback & Reports

Warm and overcast day, river was at 1ft level (indicated opposite the hut where you can park). Myself and my Uncle (he caught the majority to be fair!) fished at two spots (Upper and Lower Sally's) adjacent to each other. We managed 12 Barbel ranging 2.5lb upto 7lb 2oz, along with 2 Chub around the 4lb mark. All but one caught on 8 or 10mm Halibut pellet with a feeder full of damped 3mm pellet, one Chub came to luncheon meat sent bouncing down the faster water just before the river Lugg (Pylon run).

12 Barbel, 2 Chub

River had a tint of colour. Very nice stretch with great access to all swims. Barbel caught early and late in the day with fish to 6lbs on the feeder and halibut pellet. Chub very obliging when we swapped to maggot feeder mid day whilst barbel had stopped feeding. Had fish to 5lbs and fighting fit.

The river was about 18 inches up and carrying a bit of colour so we had high hopes but after trying various swims only one produced around mid beat so one angler pleased and I blanked.......again!

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

River rose rapidly in the afternoon and covered the croys. Lots of weed coming down so abandoned search for barbel.

River in great condition after some rain but fishing was hard...only four chub despite fishing every swim on the beat.

River very low and clear, weather showery and windy. Still able to drive to the water.
A slow day but found a few fish towards the lower end of the beat mid afternoon, best 6lb barbel and a 3.5lb chub. A pleasant day thank you.

River low and clear. Fished dawn till eleven then went for Siesta. Returned at three, baited and waited till five to fish. First chub was small, second chub 4lbs. Very little in the way of cover for barbel when water is low on this beat.
