Feedback & Reports

Another glorious sunny day unfortunately I had to fish the same swim as yesterday due to the hight of the water. The fish were a bit more cautions today and i ended up with 6 barbel and 1 big dace all on pellets.
All in all a great couple of days and a big thank you to everyone at WUF.

River still about 7ft up and very coloured. Although this is a lovely beat there are very few swims in these conditions and the only water I found fishable was down below the island.
Had a really good day catching 18 barbel on halibut pellets, the best was 8lb. A real bonus was meeting Colin the keeper, a really nice man.

River still high and flowing fast, although level had dropped. Fished along straight stretch before bend. Caught an 8lb barbel fairly quickly and it then went very quiet. Despite moving beats only only managed one other barbel. Think Bob further down did much better. Hard going but weather and scenery glorious.

1 chub...river still high but dropping. Only water that looked fishable was being fished by a great lad from Gateshead.

Salmon nil, shad x2 ( returned) flying C.

Back in the same area as yesterday as river still well up and coloured like Monday. Today was a lovely hot sunny day. The fish were a bit more cautious today and as a result smaller baits were required. I ended up catching 6 barbel and 1 large dace which was very satisfying under the circumstances so all in all a great start to the season.
Once again a very big thank you to all at WUF who do such a fantastic job gaining access to these fabulous waters.

The sun broke through about 3-30,which allowed us to fish until 6-30. We had a good day with 12 Barbel and 2 Chub being caught between us. Les had a 4lb 10oz Chub trotting with maggots. We both agreed this was a good result to end the season on. Thanks to you all at W&U see you next season.

Our first visit for a while to this consistent beat, and it did not disappoint. We fished the middle part of the beat and caught 11 barbel and a chub between us. The barbel were of a higher average size than in the past, with the best at at 8lb 1oz. The usual feeder fished pellet proved the most productive. The constant sound of curlew in the fields opposite also helped make this a very pleasant day.

No fish caught but several salmon seen, numbers of Cormorants and Gooseanders. Wonderful day even though fishless looking forward to next season.

First time on WUF waters, picked a really nice day for a change. This is a lovely bit of water - managed to catch 7 barbel between 5lb and 7.12 all in excellent condition and boy do they scrap. Fished mainly with pellets and hemp. All in all a great days fishing and I'm off to Lower Ballingham tomorrow to round off a great trip so far.
