All fish caught on pellet, lovely settings, swims, comfortable access and directions perfect. All fish caught top end of fishery.

6 barbel, 4 chub all on pellet.

Interesting day on Middle Hill. River rising at the start of the day and a few whole trees seen going past in the high water. Started fishing the top end and b.h. Had 2 barbel 8lb & 5lb. In the evening moved down below parsons tree stream and the rope b.h. Had 2 more barbel and lost 1. Around the 7 lb mark. I.w. had 6 barbel in an hour all between 6 & 8 lb mark. River rising and may be unfishable if this rain keeps up Monday. Word of warning banks are very slippery underfoot, put landing net handle in to check depth at one point and had over 8ft of water a foot out. Looking forward to returning. Thanks wuf.

Barbel to 7lbs, chub to nearly 5 (+ an eel), all on PL meat in slacker water. River rising slightly & very coloured. Some tricky/slippery areas on bank but super day. Good assistance/advice from Adam.

River very high still but fishable. 3 barbel caught, 2 double figures, 1 eight pound. 4 Chub, 1 over 4lb 1 at 4lb, 2 at 3lbs plus. Bailiff met on site and saw photographs of first barbel & chub.
Method: 1st two fish taken on legered heavy swim feeder with 2mm pellets halibut pellet with paste wrap hook bait.
Other fish taken with similar method using PVA Mesh filled with 8mm pellets and pellet hook bait with Salmon oil or Halibut oil dip and paste wrap.
All fish returned alive and swam off full of life. All Barbel and Chub rested before release.

Nil. It was worth phoning the guide and getting his advice on where to fish as walking along the banks and getting to the river was extremely hard work in the dense foliage. Great spot for fly fishing in the Ford Stream but no Salmon in there. Lots of Mayfly but no trout taking them? One of those days, but I still enjoyed it and I liked the fact that I made the decision to go in the morning and was able to book everything on line quickly.

None....but a great day!

Didn't fish due to a "wash-off" - river was flooded, fast running, brown and murky!

No fish caught or seen -- except a pike on the far bank which leapt out of the water in fright when a spinner hit it directly on the back. Thanks to WUF.

Lovely day with the river in decent shape to flyfish. Vanstone pool too deep to wade though. No touches but canoe traffic was fairly light
