Feedback & Reports

River looked good on arrival very scenic level and colour spot on. Swims very limited, only found three one of which needs work to use safely the two we picked were ok but slippery and wet after rain the previous day. Soon after starting had first of five barbel and two chubb, I had three, most fish about 5-6lb range. N had best fish at 7-6, and as day went on river rose 2 feet with lots of leaves and weed making holding bottom for more than 5mins impossible. The beat obviously holds a good head of barbel but needs more safe swims to fish with steps cut to flat fishing area to get the best from the venue. I would return in summer but with no more than two anglers .

The weather was a complete contrast to the day before with warm sunshine & T shirts the order of the day in mid October! Plenty of Salmon showing as the season ends but of more interest to us feeding barbel with 4 fish taken to 7lb. Pellet feeder most productive.

River looking good with reasonable flow and just a tinge of colour. Weather overcast, drizzly and cool. Most of the activity came in mid-afternoon with a solitary chub around 17.00 and nothing after that, though I fished until 18.30. Barbel up to 7-5, all on pellet or meat.

A really nice beat with lots of wildlife and fantastic scenery,fished towards the top end and had 5 Barbel with the best ones of 9 lbs 6 oz and 8 lbs 12 oz,no real feeding spell with fish spread out through the day,best method was swimfeeder with pellet hookbait

5 Barbel

Caught 1 barbel of 7lb 7oz. mid morning. Halibut pellet and feeder. There was a lot of pike activity in the swim most of the day. Two chub came late on as the light was fading. The largest about 3 1/2 lb. Wonderful wildlife. Kingfishers, Goosander, Bats, Salmon leaping. Even a hornet in mid October. Enjoyed it.
