Feedback & Reports

A very nice fishery with a lot of swims to choose from. The river level was dropping with colour coming out. We ended up with 5 barbel 4lb to 8lb 3oz & 6 chub.
Thanks to WUF we will be back.

One Barbel and 7 Chub caught, all were in good condition and of varying sizes. All of the fish were caught on boilies and pellets and released after capture. Fishing was slow as the river was quite high.

This was our first time at this beat, the location and surroundings were stunning, the river looked perfect so expectations were high. We walked down to the bottom of the beat and fished a couple of swims just before the bend. Excellent start, I caught 2 barbel in the first hour 1 at 6lb and the other about 8lb. Then it switched off for the rest of the day. We fished 8 swims between us. J managed to find the odd barbel from a couple of swims. It wasnt untill the last hour that the barbel switched on again. J ended with 6 barbel to 8lb and I only had the 2 barbel from the first swim in the morning. Very very hard going, can't explain it. Maybe we copped it on a bad day. Thank you WUF for excellent service.

A tricky day with the river high and coloured following heavy rain the previous day. In the circumstances, a catch of 7 barbel to 6lbs and 2 chub was a good return for a day under the brolley.

Fantastic beat, looked really nice, unfortunately we couldnt buy a bite! Dont know what was happenning on the day but nothing was biting. We will be back.

1 rod blanked the other rod caught 2 barbel, biggest 7lbs & 2 chub. All fish caught on robin red pellet. It was hard to locate fish despite trying 10 swims between us on a day which looked ideal conditions but thats fishing I guess. Will be back soon.

Five barbel and three chub on hemp and pellet. River full and fast with a bit of colour. Enjoyable day.

River dropping. Managed 1 barbel, 1 chub and 1 eel.

The river wasn't particularly high by this Summer's standards but still much higher than the previous times we had fished this beat over the last couple of years. Consequently it wasn't really possible to fish the swims at the bottom end on which we'd concentrated in the past, so we weren't too confident initially.
However we needn't have worried.We eventually settled on a couple of likely looking glides around halfway down the beat. The fish came fairly steadily throughout the day and we finished with 17 Barbel to just under 8lb and 3 Chub between us. Always a pleasure to catch fish in such beautiful surroundings.
SC reckons that as he caught 9 Barbel and 1 Chub to my 8 Barbel and 2 Chub he was the winner on the day. Obviously he is wrong - 10 fish each is a draw in anyone's book. I would therefore like to ask the WUF to adjudicate on this serious matter.

WUF note - Comparing the total weight of fish to each angler may settle this friendly competition....!

5 barbel to 6lb and 7 chub to 3.5lb. River low and very clear.
